Monmouthshire County Council has been accredited as a Bronze Carbon Literate Organisation, recognising its commitment to tackling climate change and cutting emissions.
So far, around 115 staff, councillors and community volunteers have completed carbon literacy training, pledging both individual and group actions to reduce emissions.
Climate chief Cllr Catrin Maby said it was a key step towards making Monmouthshire a zero-carbon county.
Sheds housing nearly 200,000 broiler chickens at a Herefordshire farm are to be demolished and rebuilt to a higher standard.
A planning application by Avara Foods, one of the county’s largest employers, says the replacement sheds at Parkway Farm, Madley west of Hereford would have the same footprint as the current eight within the two-hectare site, and “will not result in any increase in floor area, bird numbers, or operational intensity”.
