Climate Action
We will continue our work to create a cleaner, green and carbon zero future for our Borough. Climate change
is real, and the clock is ticking: we have our role to play alongside national government and must all act
locally if we are to win the fight globally.
HOW
- We will deliver more or better quality natural habitat and increase biodiversity.
- We will continue to reduce the council's emissions to net zero.
- We will look to reduce congestion and encourage greener modes of transport.
- We will explore options to produce renewable energy.
An extreme weather event in 2018 caused railway disruptions, traffic gridlocks and resulted in the Pantiles being covered in mud, sewage and rubbish.
If global temperatures rise by 2oC, our hottest summer day will reach an extreme temperature of 37.2oC.
Borough carbon emissions % change - 42.3% reduction since 2025.
Council's carbon emissions % change - 24% reduction since 2018/19.
