Climate change
What actions are we taking?
We signed a climate emergency declaration in 2019 to take action for much needed change across the borough to do our bit for the planet. Our declaration shows our responsibility to supporting the environment, society and economy of the borough for now and the future.
In a short space of time, we have turned our attention to planning the future in a more careful way, to help people, places, businesses and the local environment to thrive. Find out more about our climate pledge below.
Newcastle-under-Lyme encompasses a wide range of beautiful natural environments, a proud and community-focused society, and a local business focused economy.
These are the 3 pillars that support and interconnect our borough. This is why it's so important to develop these in an adaptive and resilient way for now and the future to combat climate change. We are dedicated to combatting the climate crisis to protect and support the borough's environment, society and economy through taking sustainable measures and practices such as becoming 100% carbon net zero by 2050. Together as a borough, we will be able to achieve our goals and protect the needs of our future generations.
