GREATER BRIGHTON CITY REGION CAN LEAD THE UK FIGHT AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE
Greater Brighton (which includes Worthing) can be a flagship city region leading the fight against climate change but needs more government support to unlock powers to take action.That was the message from Greater Brighton’s spokesman on the environment as he closed a special conference on transitioning to a net zero carbon economy which attracted speakers from around the world.
Cllr Phelim MacCafferty, who is also Leader of Brighton and Hove City Council, told the conference, ‘I really hope that the PM and the UK governments accelerate the pace and scale of change that is so urgently needed.
