Hampshire’s Climate Change Strategy
Hampshire County Council declared a Climate Emergency in June 2019.
The Hampshire 2050 Commission of Inquiry recognised our changing climate as the biggest long-term issue facing Hampshire. Action on climate change is being embedded across the County Council’s services, influencing the way decisions are made and policies are delivered in shaping a healthy and prosperous future in Hampshire.
Two targets have been set for the County Council, and these also apply to Hampshire as a whole:
- 2050 Carbon neutral
- 2°C preparing to be resilient to the impacts of temperature rise.
Our Climate Change Strategy
Our climate change strategy provides a clear direction for climate action in Hampshire towards 2050. It shapes our work and our partnerships, ensuring we lead by example, creating a joint approach to taking real action.
Our key principles
on climate change
These principles will guide and shape the policies, actions and partnerships developed to deliver the Climate Change targets for Hampshire.
