We declared a Climate Emergency in March 2019. We have responded to this by publishing the Hull 2030 Carbon Neutral Strategy and a shorter challenges and actions document. These were approved by the Councils Cabinet on the 27 April 2020.
The Hull 2030 Carbon Neutral Strategy is built around 8 key themes which require focused action -
- power
- heat
- mobility
- consumption
- carbon sequestration
- fair transition
- jobs and skills
- innovation
These themes present the key areas where decarbonisation action needs to be taken by the city -
- institutions
- businesses
- community and voluntary sector
- residents
The government and its agencies have a key role to play in supporting the city. This is through timely and effective legislation and funding.
By working together in partnership, we can build a city that meets the challenges of climate change. We want to be able to create an economy that is fit and prosperous in the future.
We all have a stake and role in shaping the future of our city. The council is undertaking an initial 12 month conversation on the 2030 Hull Carbon Neutral Strategy. It will cover the challenges and actions it proposes and what else we need to do to make the transition.
We need your views of what we can and should be looking at and doing. They can be examples of what other cities have done in the UK or internationally, or good examples of what we have done in the city by -
- businesses
- organisations
- residents
The strategy and its actions belong to all of us that #lovehull. If you have something we think we should know about or we should be highlighting, email us at climate.change@hullcc.gov.uk
The council asked the Carbon Trust to produce a series of Net Zero Pathways for the city. The Pathway document shows the steps the city will need to take to meet its 2045 net zero target. The council will be consulting on this and the linked action plan soon. The Pathway document is for information. The document is quite technical. We will be producing less technical versions of the pathways as part of the consultation.
Our previous strategies are also available for download.
