Telford & Wrekin Council declared a Climate Emergency on 25 July 2019, committing to carbon neutrality from the Council’s controlled operations and activities by 2030. A further commitment was made to engage with residents, businesses, public sector organisations and partners to work together with the aspiration for the borough to also be carbon neutral by 2030.
In 2020 the Council published their first Climate Change Report and Corporate Climate Action Plan, ‘Becoming Carbon Neutral’ which set out the necessary steps needed for the council to decarbonise its operations, estate and services. The Corporate Climate Action Plan is updated annually and sits alongside an annual Climate Change Report that is taken to Cabinet.
The latest Corporate Climate Action Plan and Climate Change Report is available to view below.
