Environment & Energy

In 2019 we declared a climate emergency and set out our vision to make the West Midlands net zero by 2041.

This is a hugely ambitious plan but is an essential investment in the region’s future.

Our five year plan explains how we can deliver a 33% reduction in carbon use across local transport, homes and businesses by 2026. 

Our work also involves creating a more circular and resource efficient economy for the West Midlands, and working with partners to protect, restore and enhance our natural environment – creating greener places and cleaner air.

Find out more about the Environment and Energy Board  that supports our work, and our various programmes.
