About our climate journey

Tackling climate change is one of the Council's top priorities and so in March 2019 we declared a Climate Emergency and pledged to make Plymouth carbon neutral.

This is a big challenge and huge changes will need to be made. Our action plans show what we intend to do to cut down emissions in our direct control and to encourage the rest of the city to do the same.

The Net Zero Action Plan (NZAP) is a three-year delivery plan, setting out the City Council’s proposals to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. It responds to the Net Zero Plymouth challenge set out in the Climate Connections Plymouth website and explains how the City Council will aim to play its part in delivering the Plymouth Plan’s policy aim.

The NZAP replaced the annual Climate Emergency Action Plans and Corporate Carbon Reduction Plans from March 2023. 

The NZAP is reviewed each year to ensure it remains in step with new developments in the council’s activities. The Net Zero Action Plan for 2025 to 28 was replaced by the NZAP 2026 to 29 in April 2026.
