Elmbridge's sustainable future: your views matter!

In 2019, Elmbridge Borough Council declared a climate emergency and made the pledge to be a carbon neutral organisation by 2030. We also set an ambitious goal: to become a carbon neutral borough by 2050. We have climate change plans in place to support our vision of a thriving and sustainable Elmbridge, but we need your input to help shape the plans for 2050.

A climate change survey is now open until Sunday 2 March to gather your views on our climate change priorities for the borough. Your feedback is crucial as it will feed into our Climate Change Citizens’ Panel process which will soon begin. The panel will work on turning your suggestions and ideas into actionable steps.

The survey focuses on:

• Clean energy

• Clean air

• The 5 Rs (refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle)

• Biodiversity (natural environment)

• Sustainability champions in our communities

• Sustainability in business

Take part in our survey: In the survey, you will be able to share your views on each of these topics and tell us which you think are the most important. The Climate Change Citizens’ Panel will use your feedback to shape climate change recommendations to feed into the development of the 2050 borough plan.Your feedback is important. Your opinions and contributions will not only enhance your community’s life, it will also positively impact our environment and preserve it for future generations.
