This document outlines a vision for Telford & Wrekin to transition to low carbon and sustainable energy by 2026. It discusses the reasons for this transition, which are human-induced climate change, energy security due to finite fossil fuels. The approach is described as the 3Ds: reducing demand, decarbonizing energy sources, and decentralizing energy generation. The vision includes 19 annual missions to achieve the goals, such as establishing an affordable energy community, promoting low carbon buildings and transportation, developing renewable energy and a carbon-neutral economy. Statistics on carbon emissions and energy sources from 2003-2007 are provided for context.

of which route we
choose, the world's
current predicament
limits our maneuvering
room. We are
experiencing a
step-change in the growth
rate of energy demand
due to population growth
and economic
development, and Shell
estimates that after
2015 supplies of
easy-to-access oil

longer keep
up with
demand.quot;

29. “In the past, we didn’t understand the effect
of our actions. Unknowingly, we sowed the
wind and now, literally, we are reaping the
whirlwind. But we no longer have that
excuse: now we do recognise the
consequences of our behaviour. Now surely,
we must act to reform it: individually &
collectively; nationally & internationally.”
David Attenborough
