Torfaen Council's Climate & Nature Emergency Annual Performance Report 2024/2025 / Adroddiad Perfformiad Blynyddol Argyfwng Hinsawdd a Natur Cyngor Torfaen 2024/2025
The committee agreed six recommendations and comments for the Council to consider. They ask for future reports to show a year-by-year path to net zero by 2030, with more precise data, and for the results of neighbouring councils' electric vehicle charging trials to be reported back. They also ask officers to help community groups find funding, to keep seeking Safe Routes in Communities funding (for safer walking and cycling routes), and to improve public information on the climate and nature work. The committee also asked for a written update on heritage trails and green energy work, and for copies of an animation and infographic shared with partners during procurement.

Items are linked when their titles share most of their words and they fall within 18 months of each other. Councils don't number reports across meetings, so a few links may be wrong, and a step may be missing if its title changed a lot. Each step links to the meeting, where the council's own papers are.
