Hertford Town Council declared a climate emergency in July 2023. To help tackle this emergency, the Council has developed an Environmental Sustainability Strategy, declaring both its commitment and its aim to be carbon neutral by 2030 and to do all in its power to protect our environment and make Hertford as sustainable as possible. This strategy was created based on the feedback recieved from residents through the Hertford 2030 campaign, as well as Hertford Town Council's 2021 Eco Audit and the 2024 Eco Audit Update Report. 

We will achieve the actions within the strategy through implementing work within the following themes: 

1. Helping Hertford to be more sustainable (GREENER COMMUNITIES)
2. Enabling more sustainable forms of transport (WALKING, WHEELING AND CYCLING)
3. Protecting and enhancing nature and biodiversity (NATURE AND BIODIVERSITY)
4. Transforming our own estate and operations (A GREENER COUNCIL)

Learn more about the strategy and how it fits into Hertford Town Council's wider Strategic Foundations here.
