Tackling climate change is one of our key policy priorities – we declared a climate emergency in February 2019.
- Our Climate Change Strategy and Carbon Management Plan help us address the causes and consequences as we work to become a more sustainable city.
- Our Climate Change Charter encourages you to show your commitment to mitigating climate change by pledging to reduce your carbon emissions.
- Our ‘Greening your Home’ booklet and other information linked below will provide you with the information you need to make your home and lifestyle greener.
We are proud to have been declared a Fairtrade city, and we adopted a Sustainable Food Policy Statement [PDF, 0.2MB] in 2018.
We provide funding for environmental projects through the Sustainable City fund to complement our own work to reduce and adapt to climate change.
We’re also working to reverse the decline in biodiversity in and around Cambridge, to help our work to tackle climate change. We passed a motion to declare a biodiversity emergency in May 2019.
