New proposal for Wolverhampton to become net zero by 2041

Residents and stakeholders are encouraged to have their say on a proposed strategy to make Wolverhampton a 2041 net zero city.

Our Net Zero City is a City of Wolverhampton Council strategy outlining an evidence-based, collaborative approach to cut the city’s carbon footprint.

By focusing on the benefits of taking positive climate action, it will enhance the quality of life for everyone living, working or visiting the city and for future generations.

Our Net Zero City will see the council build on its work with the private sector encouraging growth of green business, skills and jobs.

It will continue to develop active travel routes, making it easier for people to walk, wheel, cycle or use public transport – while accelerating the rollout of electric vehicle charging points.

Working with other organisations, the council will also help ensure homes are more energy efficient reducing bills and tackling fuel poverty; encourage renewable energy solutions and nurture green corridors and open spaces through increased planting and landscaping.
