Climate Action
We have declared a climate emergency in 2019, and will:
- ensure our own operations and activities are carbon net zero by 2030
- do our part to support the district to become carbon net zero
For more details on how we intend to achieve this, see our Climate Action Framework and our Climate Change Action Plan 2023-2024
Getting to net zero
Since 2008-2009, our greenhouse gas emissions have reduced by 40%.
In 2022/23 our annual emissions were down 3% to 4077 tonnes of CO2e, with:
- 42.9 per cent from leisure centres’ electricity and heating
- 41.4 per cent from the fleet
- 11.4 per cent from corporate buildings electricity and heating
- 3 per cent from landscape maintenance
- 1.3 per cent from business mileage.
