Our Targets
In 2019, the UK government committed to become net zero by 2050. Net zero means all of the carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere must be removed. This is to slow down and eventually stop the Earth heating up, causing global disruption.
Sandwell Council declared a Climate Emergency in 2020, and we have committed to being a carbon-neutral borough by 2041. Our Climate Change Strategy and Action Plan detail our plans for the Borough.
