Welwyn Hatfield declared a climate emergency in 2019 and set targets to transition to Net Zero as an organisation by 2030 and as a borough by 2050.

Last year, we updated our corporate priorities to align with our climate goals, making Action on Climate a key priority. Our objectives include:
  • Renew our commitments to be a net zero council by 2030 (and as a borough by 2050)
  • Step up climate change adaptation and mitigation measures
  • Lead by example and encourage others to make positive change
  • Increase and promote biodiversity

We have developed a new Transition to Net Zero Strategy to replace our previous climate change strategy.

We highly value feedback from our community, as achieving our net zero targets and wider climate and biodiversity aspirations will require everyone’s involvement.

Please read the Transition to Net Zero Strategy and complete our survey to have your say.
