We declared a climate and ecological emergency on 16 July 2019. This means we pledged to make our operations carbon neutral by 2030, and to work with the wider community to look at how early the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole can be made carbon neutral by 2045, ahead of the national UK target.

We pledged to report on our progress each year.

Our progress
