The council commits to cutting city emissions by half before 2030.
Councillors voted this week to adopt Unity City’s first climate action plan, which sets out how the city will halve its emissions by 2030 and adapt to hotter summers and heavier rain.
The main commitments
- Move the city’s vehicle fleet to electric by 2029.
- Upgrade insulation and heating in all council-owned homes.
- Plant 10,000 trees, starting in the neighbourhoods with the least shade.
Progress will be reported to the council every year, and the figures will be published in full. The plan is available on the Documents page.
