Why Is This Important?
The States Assembly has agreed that a climate emergency exists and is likely to have profound effects in Jersey. The Council of Ministers has heard, and acknowledges, the strength of public feeling about climate change, and the States Assembly’s ambition that Jersey should play its part in addressing this fundamental challenge. While our contribution to worldwide emissions is small, we have a unique opportunity, as a small jurisdiction, to show global leadership and help chart the course to a more sustainable future.
