climate change. We have always been clear that to achieve our climate targets it will
take significant ambition at all levels.</p><p> </p><p>Achieving clean growth has
to be a shared endeavour between government, local authorities, businesses, civil
society and the British people. The development of Local Industrial Strategies, led
by Mayoral Combined Authorities and Local Enterprise Partnerships, will build on unique
local strengths to ensure every community, and the country, reaches their economic
potential, supports clean growth and green jobs.</p><p> </p><p>Most motions have committed

tackle climate change.</p>
