Net Zero

We have made a commitment to address the global climate crisis and tackle climate change.  

Our journey to Net Zero will see us become carbon neutral by 2050 aligning with national ambitions and taking the region on a journey to become cleaner and more sustainable, with improved green spaces, increased biodiversity and delivering life-long housing with high levels of energy efficiency.  

Through devolution, £18 million will be available to deliver housing and Net Zero aspirations in the East Midlands. Our collaborative approach includes:     

• Building new low carbon homes 
• Retrofitting existing homes to increase energy efficiency  
• Promoting the use of renewable energy  
• Protecting and enhancing our green spaces 
• Exploring the potential to increase the region’s electricity network capacity
