We are committed to decarbonisation and nature recovery, with a view to protecting and enhancing our superb natural environment and to be carbon neutral by 2030.
We strive to foster economic prosperity, while ensuring environmental sustainability and social wellbeing, through the promotion of a circular economy and natural capital preservation. Our environment and sustainability services are fundamental to the success of the council's ambition for a Fairer Greener Forest, and we are devoted to leading the response to the climate and ecological emergencies in our area.
