Priority 2 : Respond to Climate Change and Protect the Environment
We share our residents' concerns about climate change and its effects on life in Fareham.
We are committed to reducing our impact on the environment, responding and adapting to climate change and supporting our residents to do the same.
In September 2019 we announced our ambition to become carbon neutral across our buildings and services by 2030. Delivery of our constantly evolving Climate Change Action Plan is now progressing with huge efforts being made across the whole of the Council to work towards this formidable goal.
We want to ensure residents and visitors can enjoy the wonderful natural environment Fareham has to offer. We recently opened new public open spaces at Abbey Meadows and the Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Park at Daedalus.
Fareham Borough Council are also members of Coastal Partners which operates across five local authorities. This partnership plays a crucial role in managing coastlines, improving community resilience to flooding and erosion as well as enhancing the natural environment.
We know our residents want to do their bit to reduce their impact on the environment. Changes to legislation over the next six years will enable us to provide significant improvements to our waste and recycling services.
