<p>These Scorecards are publicly available online, so you may well find that residents, local campaign groups or other councillors ask about your council’s climate action and Scorecard result. </p>
<p>We believe this is a real benefit brought by the project: for climate action to be effective, first, everyone needs to understand what is being done and why. That’s the first step toward residents' buy-in. There’s a further advantage to having more people fully up to speed with the council’s progress towards achieving net zero: as the net widens, you’ll have access to more people with skills, experience, capacity or ideas worth sharing. </p>
<p>If you are interested in finding out more about your council’s score and analysis on how you could improve, please contact us. We can provide further (for a fee) advice on how a council can improve their climate action.</p>

<h2 id="section-summary" class="mb-3">Summary</h2>

<p>This is the methodology for the Council Climate Action Scorecards, which was published as a draft in November 2022 and a final version was published in October 2023. This lays out how we have marked and scored all UK councils on the actions they've taken towards net zero.</p>

<p>You can view this methodology <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1w8eE7FFvr80-Xdu8i2wNk382-ETFi48j/view">as a written PDF document here</a>. You can view the Scorecards questions, criteria and clarifications <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GYJMSvnnontf_TABFTGHZpUQDR9kqBepoYP8FhpmqOM/edit#gid=1597330053">in a spreadsheet format here</a> and the combined authority Scorecards questions, criteria and clarifications <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/184_YLzBZKZQHIQYVe1iJOcKrh2TB7s77W3IMhGJgueo/edit#gid=1860210559">in this spreadsheet</a>.</p>

<p>We have marked and scored all UK councils on their climate action against 91 questions or less, depending on council type, in 7 different sections. We created the criteria through extensive research and consultation with council staff, councillors, campaigners and other organisations. To understand what action we are scoring and the question weightings, please read below. To find out more about how we created each section and why questions or topics were or were not included, check out <a href="https://www.climateemergency.uk/draft-methodology-blog-series/">our blog series on the draft methodology here</a>.</p>

<p>The finalised methodology is what was used to assess councils in the 2023 Council Climate Action Scorecards. Compared to the draft methodology that was published in November 2022, there have been some minor changes. These changes include adding in two new questions to the transport section for single-tier and district councils, completing the criteria for a couple of questions and a handful of minor clarifications elsewhere.</p>

<p>The question weighting determines the importance of that question to the overall section score. All questions in the Action Scorecards are out of a number of marks, ranging from 1 to 6, as well as some questions where penalty marks are awarded and councils lose marks (more on penalty marks below). This is the raw mark for each question.</p>
<p>To ensure appropriate weighting to each question, each raw score for a question has been translated into a score out of one, two or three, depending on whether the question is weighted low (one), medium (two) or high (three). We have converted each raw mark into the equivalent fraction out of one, two or three. For example, if a question is out of 4 raw marks and the question is weighted as high, then if a council scores 2 out of 4, their weighted score would be 1.5 out of 3. If a council had scored 1 out of 4, their weighted score would be 0.75 out of 3.</p>
