Sustainability
Sustainability is about living in a way that protects our natural resources, our environment and our future. Acting sustainably can help us combat social and economic challenges as well as protect the communities and nature in West Northamptonshire.
We are committed to making the transition to a sustainable West Northamptonshire a reality.
If everyone in West Northants makes a small change towards being sustainable, the collective impact will be huge. We are all deserving of affordable and renewable energy, clean air, healthier lifestyles and access to thriving green spaces.

Area Wide Emissions Baseline report
The Area Wide Emissions Baseline report informs and supports our communities, residents, and businesses in reducing their own emissions. The report will help us meet our commitment to achieve a Net Zero West Northamptonshire emissions by 2045. Net zero means no longer adding to the total amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
To achieve these goals, we have created our action plan based around the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) which were developed in 2015 as the framework to a thriving society.

The UN SDGs are a global call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030, we can all have a better quality of life.
