Overview

The Climate Action Plan Explorer collects UK Council Climate Action Plans in a single database, alongside some data on area emissions estimates within the scope of influence of councils. It allows anyone to quickly and easily find out if their council has a plan, and put those plans into context. It was started by Climate Emergency UK and mySociety, and is still under active development with input from council climate officers, climate specialists, researchers, and journalists.
