Peterborough Climate Debate

Every resident, business, organisation and community group has a role to play in supporting Peterborough to become a net-zero carbon city.

This is an ambitious challenge requiring significant behavioural change and infrastructure improvements. To have the highest chance of meeting this ambition, we need to develop plans to decarbonise which are supported by Peterborough’s residents, organisations, businesses and communities.

Peterborough climate change action plan

We are using the findings from the climate debate workshop, to help develop a city-wide climate change action plan. We will also consult on this plan before we take a final version to the Full Council for adoption.

The Climate Debate workshop

The feedback we have received from the Peterborough Climate Debate (March 2023) will help direct the development of the climate change action plan.

In the debate, we shared some information on greenhouse gas emissions across the city and discuss some potential decarbonisation options. We then held a discussion and gathered your input for your preferred solutions.

We invite residents to watch the Peterborough Climate Debate workshop video below.

We also have the presentation slides available in PDF form:
