Lincoln 2030 Climate Action Plan
To become a net zero carbon City by 2030 we need to make changes to our daily lives to reduce emissions, particularly from transport, energy use and the everyday items we all consume.
No single organisation can directly influence all the emissions within the Lincoln area; the success of a Lincoln 2030 Climate Action Plan, produced by the Lincoln Climate Commission, will be down to all of us. You can view the Lincoln 2030 2 minute animation here and view Lincoln 2030 Summary and Annual progress report here.
Lincoln’s Journey to 2030 accompanies the Lincoln 2030 Climate Action Plan and provides further details on the objectives, actions and tables for each net zero carbon pathway. This is a live document, updated by members of the Lincoln Climate Commission on a regular basis. We welcome your comments and questions about any of the actions in this plan please contact us via email climate@lincoln.gov.uk
