Target 2050 Background
Target 2050 began in 2007 as a project funded by Stroud District Council. The aim was to deliver the Council's Climate Change Strategy through a programme of work with householders, businesses and community buildings in Stroud District.
In 2008 Gloucestershire County Council provided funding to deliver the business element of the project countywide, and Cheltenham Borough Council provided funding for a business advice service targeting the hospitality sector.
From late 2009 the domestic element of work will be expanded to include the Cheltenham, Gloucester and Cotswold districts in Gloucestershire, plus the unitary authorities of South Gloucestershire and Wiltshire.
The name "Target 2050" refers to the UK target of an 80% cut in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
