Our Green City

Southampton City Council declared a climate emergency in 2019 and published its Green City Charter and Plan. This identifies key priorities to create a cleaner, greener, healthier, and more sustainable city, including commitments to being a net zero organisation by 2030. The Green City Action Plan describes what we will do to reduce the effect and impact of climate change.

The Southampton City Council Climate Change Strategy 2023-2030 sets out the priorities for the council to reach net zero by 2030, and for the city to reach net zero by 2035.
