塞斯诺克理事会暂停非强制性净零支出,以管理财政压力,并停止其25年气候变化复原力计划,原因是生活费问题不断增加。 Cessnock Council has paused non-mandatory net zero spending to manage financial pressures, halting its 25-year Climate Change Resilience Plan due to rising cost-of-living concerns. 这项行动得到理事会领导人的支持,要求个别项目在批准前通过成本效益分析来证明价值,以确保财政责任。 The move, supported by council leaders, requires individual projects to prove value through cost-benefit analysis before approval, aiming to ensure fiscal responsibility. 虽然大规模气候承诺被搁置,但有重大商业案例的项目可能仍然在进行。 While large-scale climate commitments are on hold, projects with strong business cases may still proceed. 批评者警告暂停可能会损害长期的复原力和赠款资格,并令人担心严格的金融衡量标准可能损害其他基本服务。 Critics warn the pause could undermine long-term resilience and grant eligibility, and raise concerns that strict financial metrics might harm other essential services.
