Climate change is among the greatest challenges of our time, demanding urgent, collective action. As a coastal city, Portsmouth is particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change, from rising sea levels and extreme weather to coastal erosion. By fostering a business community dedicated to reducing its carbon footprint, we aim to make Portsmouth a leader in sustainable urban resilience.
Through concerted efforts and collaboration, with local authorities and the private sector, we are committed to creating a greener, healthier Portsmouth. By encouraging businesses to adopt sustainable practices, we protect our city and contribute to long-term economic growth, reduced operational costs, and improved quality of life for all residents.
Objectives
- Raise awareness of climate change’s local impacts, inspiring and educating businesses and residents on reducing emissions, protecting natural resources, and fostering sustainable business practices.
- Empower businesses with resources and support to reduce their carbon footprints, sharing best practices, and showcasing success stories that serve as a blueprint for sustainable development.
- Work closely with local organizations and stakeholders to expand sustainability initiatives, strengthen environmental partnerships, and achieve measurable reductions in emissions across Portsmouth’s business sector.
Impact
- Run monthly free NetZero 360 workshops to provide the knowledge and tools they need to navigate achieving net zero sustainability.
