The Devon Climate Emergency project team are excited to announce that the Devon Carbon Plan has been launched, after extensive collaboration with the Net Zero Task Force and members of the public.
The Devon Carbon Plan is the roadmap for how Devon will reach net-zero emissions by 2050 (at the latest) and has been built on detailed, ongoing assessments of Devon’s greenhouse gas emissions.
Broadly speaking, emissions in Devon can be divided into five key sectors: economy and resources; energy supply; food, land and sea; transport, and the built environment. The Devon Carbon Plan will outline actions for how each of these sectors can reach net-zero emissions by 2050, and how people at every level can contribute – including individuals, communities, organisations and local policy makers.
You can find the plan on the Devon Climate Emergency website.
You can also follow Devon Climate Emergency on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for ongoing updates about the launch, upcoming Q&As, and the next steps for the Devon Climate Emergency project.
