As a council, we understand the role we play in not only reducing our own emissions (from our own operations) and helping the borough transition towards net zero, including supporting Kent in reaching its county wide net zero target by 2050.  Working together with each other across our borough, and local areas we can begin to make significant reductions in our emissions and create real and positive improvements to our local environment.  At the same time we will also need to be fully prepared for a changing climate and ensure all our communities, natural environment and our economy is protected.
