Hampshire's carbon emissions
To measure progress towards the target of making Hampshire carbon neutral by 2050, carbon emissions are tracked and reported annually.
Community projects
Projects are being delivered to support Hampshire residents and communities to reduce carbon emissions and adapt to climate change, as part of the County Council’s Hampshire-wide strategy.
In partnership with Action Hampshire, Hampshire County Council has completed its project on engaging seldom heard or underserved communities, to better understand how they perceive climate action, what actions they are already taking, what barriers they face, and how they could be better enabled to take collective and individual action.
The results of this detailed research and engagement have been put into a report and action toolkit: Hampshire Communities for People and Planet
