BCP Draft Climate Action Plan (2023 - 2028) and Programme (2023/24 - 2024/25)

Draft Climate Action published.  The overarching aim of our strategy is to meet climate change head on by putting into place measures to actively reduce carbon emissions in the area to help Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole adapt to the inevitable effects of global warming. We recognise the plan to reach our aims is complicated, and that some of the actions will change over time because they need to be informed by those closest to the actions. This climate strategy represents the best picture we have right now, but one that we want to change and develop as more information and solutions become available and more stakeholders are engaged.

Strategic Aim 1 To make BCP Council and its operations carbon neutral by 2030

Strategic Aim 2 Work with the wider community to make the area carbon-neutral before the UK target of 2050

Strategic Aim 3 To help our area reverse the ecological decline, and be prepared for, and resilient to, the impacts of climate change

People & Communities Engaging with our residents to enable us all to make life choices which reduce our impact on the environment locally, nationally and globally. Communities are at risk from climate change and action must be taken to adapt accordingly. Community led responses are recognised as having the potential to contribute significantly to reducing CO2 emissions from the smallest rural community to the centres of our big cities.
