The Plan sets out, primarily in Policy SP9: Climate Change, Environmental Sustainability and Resource Use, its target to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2038.

This is in broad alignment with the ambition for the City Region to become a resilient net-zero carbon economy by 2038. Tackling the climate emergency is one of the priorities of the Combined Authority and we are committed to reducing carbon emissions to meet our 2038 net-zero carbon target. The upcoming ‘Tackling the Climate Emergency action plan’ due to be published later in 2021 will lay the foundations as we work towards becoming a net-zero carbon City Region. There will be an expectation that local policies support the action plan
including local plans that will need to evolve with it.
