The first sentence refers to climate change. It has been estimated that the carbon cost of crime within the UK is in the region of 6,000,000 tonnes of CO2 per annum, roughly equivalent to the total CO2 output of 6 million UK homes. Reducing crime not only improves the quality of the environment for those who live in, work in and visit the borough, but can also have a direct impact on CO2 production. Designing out crime should be given greater emphasis throughout the plan. For example, the second paragraph of this opening Policy could be amended (see full text).
