NET ZERO EXETER 2030 PLAN
This Plan presents Exeter's view of how the city can achieve its ambition to be net-zero carbon by 2030. In its creation, we engaged with a diverse range of individuals and organisations from across the city to feed in different values, perspectives and backgrounds.
This marks the start of an exciting 10-year journey for our city. The formal launch of the Net Zero Exeter 2030 Plan which was planned to take place at the Mobilisation Summit on 26 March 2020, had to be postponed as a result of the
COVID-19. However, the city’s determination to be carbon-neutral by 2030 remains undiminished. Success will only be achieved through a genuinely collective effort to ensure Exeter remains one of the greatest places to live in the UK.
Together we highlight ourselves as leaders in the UK and support Innovate UK plan their future investments into supporting cities in the run up to the UN Climate Change Conference (COP 26), due to be held in November 2020 but now
postponed due to COVID-19.
Together we are stronger, and to achieve an ambition of this scale, collective, practical action is what truly matters.
The Net Zero Exeter Plan is NOT…
- the only carbon reduction plan within Exeter; we recognise organisations will continue to have their own plans and strategies and this plan should compliment and enable those.
- perfect; this is our first iteration of the plan, curated through engagement across the city. We expect that it will be reviewed and refined based on continuous feedback and further engagement, especially in light of the changes we are all experiencing as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
- a list of firm commitments or instructions; this plan sets out actions that Exeter City Futures believe can deliver the city’s carbon ambition, it relies on a collaborative effort from organisations and individuals to decide if, what and how they will change their own activities to help achieve the city's shared ambition.
- a barrier; the plan isn’t intended to impose rules that stifle innovation and other work occurring in the city.
- complete; there will be no such thing as a ‘final version’ as it will be in constant review.
- able to be fully delivered by any one organisation.
The Net Zero Exeter Plan IS...
- an attempt to set out what Exeter will need to put in place in order to be net-zero carbon by 2030, based on benchmarking and public engagement.
- a document that sets out ways in which each of us can play our part in achieving the netzero ambition, and to enable everyone across the city to engage in a meaningful way.
- built on an understanding that the city can only achieve its net-zero carbon targets if organisations, individuals and institutions take responsibility and accept they have a role and play their part.
- an attempt to focus the city on a sequence of key actions that take us to 2030 and enable these actions to be reflected in city and organisational plans.
- in constant review; this plan will be refreshed towards the end of 2020 to reflect on the position of the city as a result of the COVID-19 crisis, and then annually as the city begins to mobilise projects and action.
