    its own needs.

  • Treating the Earth as if we mean to stay.

What is the Council doing?

Climate change is a big sustainability issue which the Council must address. The Wyre Forest Climate Change Strategypdf logo(1.4MB) and Action plan sets out what we are doing about climate change.

For information on the greenhouse gas emission of Wyre Forest District Council, please read our latest Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reportpdf logo(30K).

The Council has worked with the Carbon Trust to develop a 5 year Carbon Management Plan. This sets out how we will reduce carbon emissions from our buildings, operations and services by 30% by 2016.

The Council is also signed up the Worcestershire Climate Change Pledge
