"Greens call on Oxford City Council to declare a climate emergency to get the City on-track for a low carbon future."
Green Cllrs Craig Simmons and Dick Wolff are tabling a motion on Monday 28th January calling on the City Council to declare a climate emergency. "Scientists are telling us we have just 12 years to avert a climate catastrophe. Councils everywhere must play their part - we want Oxford to join the growing number of local authorities who are declaring a climate emergency. In practical terms, this means getting the Council's own house in order as well as working with others to reduce the City's use of fossil fuels, " said Cllr Simmonds.
Plans for Zero Emission Zone in Oxford move ahead in the journey to zero emissions
Greens give cautious welcome to revised zero emission plans but say that the devil is in the detail.
"The proposals are a watered-down version of those presented in 2017 and there is a lot of detail that is still missing. Perhaps most disappointingly, the 'zero emission zone' has become a low emission zone. Private cars are unlikely to be restricted at all in the wider 'green zone' before 2025 and even then - as it currently stands - cars emitting up to 75gCO2 per kilometre will be permitted. This is twice the emissions of today's typical plug-in hybrid car. There are some good measures as well, such as the move to EURO6 buses, but there is a lot of detail still to be decided. As always, the devil is in the detail."
