On 14 July 2004 Devon County Council signed the Nottingham Declaration on Climate Change.

The declaration requires councils to develop an action plan to use their responsibilities and areas of influence to help tackle climate change. As a result, Devon County Council published its first climate change strategy in 2005.

The Climate Change Strategy and its action plan were revised in 2018 following a detailed review of local activity and the current policy environment by the Centre for Energy and the Environment at Exeter University.
