Sustainability
Sustainability is about living in a way that protects our natural resources, our environment and our future. Acting sustainably can help us combat social and economic challenges as well as protect the communities and nature in West Northamptonshire.
If everyone in West Northants makes a small change towards being sustainable, the collective impact will be huge. We are all deserving of affordable and renewable energy, clean air, healthier lifestyles and access to thriving green spaces.

Area Wide Emissions
The Area Wide Emissions reports, which use data from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, help inform and support our commitment to achieving a Net Zero West Northamptonshire by 2045.
This area-wide commitment includes WNC supporting communities, residents, and businesses in reducing their own emissions.
Net Zero means that the total carbon and greenhouse gas emissions emitted to the atmosphere is equal to the amount removed from the atmosphere.
To achieve these goals, we are using the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) as a framework for delivery of the Council's ambitions.
