The council recognises the important contribution businesses can provide in developing sustainable place-based solutions and the importance of this role is reflected by being one of North Kesteven District Council’s nine key themes within our Climate Emergency Strategy. Our industry theme focuses on encouraging sustainable development and economic growth across our district, supporting businesses to become greener and helping the district achieve carbon reduction.
Why carbon?
Carbon dioxide is the most significant greenhouse gas, contributing to global warming. By reducing the carbon we emit (decarbonisation) and capturing carbon from the atmosphere we reduce the impact it has on global temperatures. Other greenhouse gases (like methane) are often converted into their carbon equivalent – CO2e – for easy comparison.
