DEFA's 80% greenhouse gas reduction target
Ambitious but achievable is how government's new strategy to help tackle climate change is being described.
Approved by Tynwald this week, it features a series of five-year plans, with the aim of cutting the Island's greenhouse gas emissions by 80 per cent by 2050.
Areas such as more energy-efficient homes, lower-impact building methods and a reduction in the use of motorised vehicles.
North Douglas MHK Ralph Peake is the departmental member of DEFA who has led the development of the strategy:
Wetherspoons to open its first Isle of Man pub
Crosby Wastewater Treatment Works nears completion
Bus Vannin thanks public for support during Anagh Coar collision
UK legislation 'infinitely less draconian' than Island's safe access zones proposals
