What drives us | Shropshire Council

We're facing a climate emergency.

Our vision is to become carbon net-zero by 2030 and assist in the ambition for Shropshire as a whole to become carbon net-neutral by 2040.

To meet our goals, not only must we drastically cut carbon emissions, but we also need to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Rural areas have the greatest opportunities for carbon removal at scale so the Marches Forward Partnership will be pivotal in achieving this through strategic investments in pioneering, carbon sequestering technologies.

We're working across political parties, counties and borders to ensure that we have a healthy environment and a healthy economy so that our residents can live their best lives.
