In May 2022, the Portfolio Holder for Climate Change role was created, which in May 2023 became the Portfolio Holder for Climate Change & Sustainability. Due to the importance of this area of work in the 2023/2024 Municipal year, the smaller Climate Change Advisory Panel is being evolved into quarterly briefings for all Members.
The Surrey Environment Partnership (SEP) is made up of Surrey County Council (SCC) and the 11 district and borough councils in the county. It aims to manage Surrey’s waste in the most efficient, effective, economical and sustainable manner.
