Net Zero 2050
Welsh Government's target is for Wales to be Net Zero by 2050. Net Zero emissions means removing an equal amount of CO2 from the atmosphere as we release into it. Net Zero 2050 relates to the territorial emissions of Âéw¶¹´«Ã½ Gwent as a whole, which includes the carbon released by all organisations and people in Âéw¶¹´«Ã½ Gwent, including from housing, transport, businesses etc.
Where do Âéw¶¹´«Ã½ Gwent's territorial emissions come from?
We are working with our partners on a range of actions and strategies to reduce Âéw¶¹´«Ã½ Gwent's territorial emissions, including:
Âéw¶¹´«Ã½ Gwent Climate Assembly. The Âéw¶¹´«Ã½ Gwent Climate Assembly in March 2021, brought together 44 residents of Âéw¶¹´«Ã½ Gwent who made five recommendations in response to the question 'how can we tackle climate change in Âéw¶¹´«Ã½ Gwent in a way that is fair and improves living standards for everyone?'
Âéw¶¹´«Ã½ Gwent Climate Mitigation Steering Group. As part of the Âéw¶¹´«Ã½ Gwent Local Well-being Partnership, partners have established a group to co-ordinate action on our territorial emissions, including developing and delivering actions in response to the Âéw¶¹´«Ã½ Gwent Climate Assembly.
