ePetition details

Zero Carbon by 2030

We the undersigned petition the council to To agree a target date of 2030 for achieving ‘net carbon zero’ emissions from the councils activities, and to design an action plan in accordance with this target. We welcome the council's declaration of a climate emergency and commitment to work towards net zero greenhouse gas emissions for the council's activities and for the county. But time is short.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report a year ago was clear that urgent action is essential if we are to limit global temperature rise to no more than 1.5 degrees C.
This is a huge challenge and achieving net zero carbon for the council is much more likely to be achieved if a target is set. 2030 is the date for which we should aim.

This ePetition ran from 12/10/2019 to 25/11/2019 and has now finished.

1032 people signed this ePetition.

Please note that you must live, work or study in the Council's area to sign up to a petition.
