Carbon Net-Zero 2030 Action Plan Review

When: February - March 2024

Number of respondents: 420

North Tyneside Council declared a Climate Emergency in 2019 which built upon the work we had been doing for well over a decade. As part of that, we published the North Tyneside Net-Zero 2030 Action Plan based on a range of perspectives, covering both our own council operations and for the borough as a whole.

As we're now halfway through our journey towards our net-zero goal, we wanted to give you the opportunity to have your say and help us shape the future as we review our action plan up to 2030. We asked for your input on what more we can do, with focus groups and a survey.

Net-Zero means getting a balance between the number of emissions produced into the atmosphere and the number of emissions removed from the atmosphere. This could be by reducing the number of emissions created by vehicles or manufacturing, using technology to capture emissions from the atmosphere, or planting more trees to absorb emissions.

The council is only directly responsible for two per cent of the borough’s carbon emissions, so we absolutely need the help of our residents to work with us to achieve this target.

Thank you to everyone who took part in this review. We heard from 420 people and are currently evaluating your feedback, which will help us to review our Carbon Net-Zero 2030 action plan. Check out the Focus Group Summary Report in "Useful Documents" to see what difference you.ve already made.
