Climate change strategy

Our latest climate change strategy, which runs from 2025 to 2030, outlines a net zero pathway for reducing carbon emissions across West Oxfordshire. It builds on the Council's ongoing commitment to tackling the climate and ecological emergency declared in 2019 and supports priorities set out in the Council Plan.

The Climate Change Strategy sets out actions that will have the most impact, focusing first on reducing emissions before offsetting any residual carbon through verified measures. It is supported by the Council's Carbon Action Plan 2024-2030 and the West Oxfordshire Nature Recovery Plan 2024-2030, both of which outline coordinated actions to achieve net zero and enhance biodiversity.
