The Council Climate Action Scorecards score all UK councils on the actions they’ve taken towards reaching net zero carbon emissions. The scorecards are based on a range of questions across seven sections: Buildings & Heating, Transport, Planning & Land Use, Governance & Finance, Biodiversity, Collaboration & Engagement, Waste Reduction & Food.
Accessing the data
Data for each of the councils can be viewed for free on the Council Climate Action Scorecards website. You can use the ‘Advanced Filters’ tool to filter the councils based on Nation, Region, Urbanisation, Political Control, Index of Multiple Deprivation, and Total Population.
You can click on relevant councils to see how they scored on each question.
If you want to download the data as a spreadsheet, you can purchase it here. The cost depends on the geographic scope and whether you are purchasing the data for commercial or non-commercial use. You can learn more about the methodology.
