Leading By Example
Watford's Environmental Strategy
| Environmental Strategy | Summary Strategy | Environmental Delivery Plan |
There are few challenges more important than the climate and ecological emergency. It is already affecting communities across the world and in the future will have high impacts on our local economy, local families and local wildlife. We’ve seen in Watford the profound effects of extended droughts followed by extensive rainfall, and the challenges of invasive species on our local biodiversity.
Councils can play a critical role in creating low-carbon and climate resilient communities and also play a leadership role in creating lasting and effective partnership with residents, community organisations and businesses. Together we can tackle the big issues facing Watford.
The Environmental Strategy builds on the work being done across the Council following the declaration of a climate and ecological emergency. We want to see Watford Borough Council achieve net zero carbon emissions in all its direct emissions by 2030, and see a net zero town, with the benefits of lower congestion, radically improved biodiversity and tree cover.
