Help create Calderdale’s Energy Future
Creating a better energy future, and tackling climate change, is important for everyone in Calderdale so we want many more organisations and businesses, policy and decision makers, communities and individuals to get involved. Action is needed now: to make progress every year towards our 2020 carbon target, and to make plans and investments that will reduce energy use and bring other benefits.
