Cornwall Climate Commitments

Show you care and commit to

low carbon choices

The world is changing, and we need to change with it. The impacts of climate change are already being felt all over the world. Here in Cornwall we have seen unprecedented flooding and unseasonable weather in the last few years.

Climate change can feel like a problem that is so much bigger than us and too big to fix.

But there are steps we can all make to take control and create better lives for ourselves and future generations. And if we all make low carbon choices to how we live - together, we can make a BIG impact for Cornwall and our planet.

Changing how we think and behave can be challenging, and some changes are easier than others.

There are lots of things we can do to reduce our carbon footprint and make a difference. Some of them are small and easier to do, other things are more complicated and take more effort.

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed individuals can change the world. In fact, it's the only thing that ever has."
Margaret Mead

We are working with partners, organisations, local councils, businesses and community groups to co-design a series of Cornwall Climate Commitments.

We want to hear from as many people as possible about how they will or are already doing things differently to play their part in helping Cornwall to become carbon neutral (Net Zero Carbon).

We will gather everyone's climate commitments and share them, so we can all help each other to change My world for Our planet.

View and download our suggestions for low carbon choices.

Thank you to everyone who has let us know how you are willing to play your part in helping Cornwall become carbon neutral.

We are reviewing everyone's commitments and will let you know the results soon.
