Dorset Council’s Climate Emergency Strategy and Action Plan

Dorset has a role to play in helping tackle this growing danger while we still have time to make a difference.

In response to this threat, at our very first Full Council meeting back in May, we took the bold step to declare a Climate and Ecological Emergency.

In July 2020, a draft Climate and Ecological Emergency Strategy was produced. This presents eight key areas for action to ensure that the Council changes the way it delivers services. We want to ensure we as an organisation are carbon-neutral by 2040. We want to support the wider county to be carbon neutral by 2050.
