Climate Action Plan

Have your say!

In line with our purpose of working with people and partners for a healthier, caring more prosperous and sustainable Bradford District, the Sustainability Service has prepared a draft Climate Action Plan (CAP) 2025-28 which is now open for public consultation.

The Plan sets out a comprehensive package of projects, programmes and communications activities that will support the Council’s vision of achieving Net Zero by 2038 and making significant progress by 2030.

Our vision is to be,

"A sustainable, healthy, vibrant, and resilient district, ready to seize opportunities and work together to overcome the challenges of a changing climate."
