Net Zero 2050
Welsh Government's target is for Wales to be Net Zero by 2050. Net Zero emissions means removing an equal amount of CO2 from the atmosphere as we release into it. Net Zero 2050 relates to the territorial emissions of Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ as a whole, which includes the carbon released by all organisations and people in Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ, including from housing, transport, businesses etc.
Where do Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ's territorial emissions come from?
We are working with our partners on a range of actions and strategies to reduce Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ's territorial emissions, including:
Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Climate Assembly. The Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Climate Assembly in March 2021, brought together 44 residents of Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ who made five recommendations in response to the question 'how can we tackle climate change in Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ in a way that is fair and improves living standards for everyone?'
Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Climate Mitigation Steering Group. As part of the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Local Well-being Partnership, partners have established a group to co-ordinate action on our territorial emissions, including developing and delivering actions in response to the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Climate Assembly.
