How's the Council tackling climate change?

We have a Climate Change Action Plan for 2023 to 2027

In response to the climate emergency declared in Hart in April 2021, we have created a climate action plan, outlining key strategies and initiatives for 2023 – 2027. This five-year plan aims to drive change and mitigate the impacts of climate change across Hart, enabling us to meet our ambitions of being a carbon-neutral authority by 2035 and district by 2040.

The climate action plan is built around five key priorities, each with a set of targeted actions designed to achieve significant progress:

  • council buildings
  • energy
  • transport
  • district-wide activities
  • communications and reporting

Council buildings

What we're doing to make our buildings more energy-efficient

Energy

How solar panels are saving CO2 emissions

Transport

We've installed electric charge points and LED lighting in our car parks and our waste collection vehicles are powered by vegetable oil

District-wide activities

We are supporting everyone in Hart to become a carbon-neutral district by 2040

Communications and reporting

The Council collects data to help it better understand how to cut its carbon footprint which it shares with residents and stakeholders
