See our Supporters Wall
This project is a call for Exeter to instigate an imaginative strategy involving all organisations and individuals throughout the City to address the challenges and opportunities of climate change between now and 2020.
And beyond ... to 2030.

The vision is to collectively reduce the city’s emissions of CO2 and to achieve a change in culture that inspires residents, businesses and other organisations to each take steps to adopt and implement a low carbon economy.

It also anticipates further challenge and change between 2020 and 2030, aiming to secure maximum benefit from the opportunities of becoming a leader in low carbon economy.





In summary we call for:
  • Setting an ambitious but necessary target. 45% reduction by 2020. 90% reduction by 2030.
  • Developing an attractive vision of a low carbon city.
  • Creating a community-wide Carbon Descent Action Plan.
  • Measuring progress and inspiring individual action by setting up Carbon Rationing Action Groups.
  • Creating momentum to ensure that the low carbon ethic becomes an integral part of Exeter life.
  • And doing all this under a new democratic process; Low Carbon Forums; a "Local Agenda 21" style community led process.
