Why a vision? |
Our Vision Statements |
|
If you don't know where you want to go to, the chances are you probably won't get there!
Our vision started with a simple question around the concept of "net-zero" - if this is where we need to get to, where are we now and what will it be like when we get there? And, most importantly, what would it look and feel like to live in a place where all the solutions have been applied. |
In compiling the report we set out a series of vision statements to describe what it might be like for education, for travel, for our diets and for all the areas in the report - not because we have all the answers, but because having something written down makes it easier to start the conversation.
You can find links to each of these statements below. |
Our Overiding Vision
"It's 2030 and we have risen to the greatest challenge humanity has ever faced and, as well as preventing environmental breakdown, the solutions we have implemented have started to address many of society’s long-standing issues; the overwhelming majority of the population are leading happier, healthier lives, communities across Dorset are more connected, work-life balances have improved and everywhere the return of nature is evident."
Our Detailed Vision Statements

The project aims to help show what living in a zero-carbon county would look and feel like, but we want everyone to join in developing this vision.
Arts University Design Graduate Abi Buckingham created a Dorset 2030 Vision** (above) to help bring many of the aspects of climate and nature friendly living to life. We aim to use Abi's vision to help start conversations about why we need the things she has drawn and what else we might need to do.
In the video clip below Abi discusses the thinking behind the image and what motivated her to create it
Climate Activist Xiye Bastida also shares her vision (below Abi's)
