Climate and Ecological Emergency Strategy consultation: Food systems theme

This consultation has ended.

The consultation

Ealing Council declared a climate emergency in April 2019, committing to address the climate and ecological emergency locally, as a crisis requiring immediate and vital action. Our aim is to become carbon neutral, as a borough and an organisation by 2030.

A substantial part of the Ealing’s Climate and Ecological Emergency Strategy (CEES) was adopted in January 2021, covering energy, nature, travel and waste. It set out a plan to reduce the council’s produced emissions and outlines a commitment to use our influence to reduce emissions emitted across the borough. The intended outcome of these actions is to lessen the impacts of climate change and to reduce the degradation of natural habitats and halt the loss of biodiversity, on which human life depends.

During our consultation on the CEES in August and September of 2020, we referred to creating the fifth theme of the strategy with the community, covering sustainable food systems. This consultation seeks your views on our proposed strategy for this theme.

Your views

We would like your views on the food theme of our proposed strategy. Please make sure to read the full proposals before completing a short survey to have your say.

This consultation will close on 30 July 2021.

What happens next?

Feedback received from the community during the consultation will lead to further refinements, and the joint working group will then recommend that the final strategic theme be adopted into the CEES. Once the vision, objectives and targets are agreed, action planning will take place to map out the next two years of activity to support us meeting the objectives.
