Bristol’s deputy mayor has said there is a “real risk” increased economic strains could mean businesses make pivoting to greener operations less of a priority.
Cllr Craig Cheney revealed only about 100 firms out of 18,000 operating in the city had signed up to a Bristol City Council climate change initiative launched in October.
The Bristol One City Climate Change Ask called on organisations to commit to net zero carbon emissions by 2030 and make an action plan to achieve it.
