About the Nottingham Declaration

Launched in October 2000 in Nottingham, the Declaration has now been signed by more than 300 English Councils. Click here to see who has signed. All Scottish and Welsh councils have signed their own versions of the Declaration.

The Nottingham Declaration recognises the central role of local authorities in leading society's response to the challenge of climate change. By signing the Declaration councils pledge to systematically address the causes of climate change and to prepare their community for its impacts.
