Adaptation

Kirklees has been a long established leader as the first and only authority to join the UK Emissions Trading Scheme in 2002. The council established the largest local authority solar energy project and installed wind turbines on its own buildings. The Kirklees Warm Zone programme offers free insulation to homes regardless of the residents’ financial means, together with the option of interest free loans to home owners to invest in small scale renewable and low carbon technologies for their homes. It is estimated that from the first year of the programme over 10,000 tonnes per annum of CO2 has been saved.
