2041 Net Zero Strategy

Closed 14 Dec 2024

Opened 27 Sep 2024

Overview

Residents and stakeholders are encouraged to have their say on a proposed strategy to make Wolverhampton a 2041 net zero city.

Our Net Zero City is a City of Wolverhampton Council strategy outlining an evidence-based, collaborative approach to cut the city’s carbon footprint.

By focusing on the benefits of taking positive climate action, it will enhance the quality of life for everyone living, working or visiting the city and for future generations.

Our Net Zero City will see the council build on its work with the private sector encouraging growth of green business, skills and jobs.

It will continue to develop active travel routes, making it easier for people to walk, wheel, cycle or use public transport - while accelerating the rollout of electric vehicle charging points.

Working with other organisations, the council will also help ensure homes are more energy efficient reducing bills and tackling fuel poverty; encourage renewable energy solutions and nurture green corridors and open spaces through increased planting and landscaping.

The Green Cities team at the City of Wolverhampton Council is holding free in-person events where you can find out more. You can view upcoming events and register to attend here. New events will continue to be added throughout the consultation period. The team will also be joining some events organised by third party groups.
