Suffolk County Council's Environmental Action Plan
2009-2011
Our new Environment Action Plan details actions which we are
committed to achieving over the next two years. The Plan
demonstrates our commitment to both our local and international
efforts in tackling climate change.
The county council has achieved many environmental improvements
over the past few years including:
- the opening of OrbisEnergy, a centre of excellence for
renewable energy in Lowestoft
- the setting up of the Green Suffolk Fund to help communities in
Suffolk cut their carbon emissions and
- the installing of 17 wood fuel boilers across the
council

Past Plans
Suffolk County Council published the monitoring report of its
first Environment Action Plan (2007-2009) at the beginning of
2009. The monitoring report details the progress made against the
objectives, actions and targets laid out in the plan with detailed
progress reports. The report also includes case studies showcasing
areas where the council has performed well against its key
objectives and targets.
An Executive Summary has also been produced which highlights some
of the council's key successes with case studies.
