Perth and Kinross Council has officially declared a 'Climate and Biodiversity Emergency'.
Councillors declared the emergency and approved PKC's Climate Action Annual Report and action plans for 2023/24 at a meeting on Wednesday, November 9.
The report warned of a financial shortfall which led one councillor to condemn the SNP council for allocating over 14 times the amount needed to fulfil climate pledges - "including vital work to prevent flooding" - on additional funding for the Cross Tay Link Road.
