FENLAND District Council has agreed to sign up to the Nottingham Declaration on Climate Change.
The commitment includes working with central government to contribute to the UK climate change programme, the Kyoto protocol and the 2010 carbon dioxide reduction target, and, within the next two years, develop plans to address causes and impact of climate change.
