A green Devon for future generations<\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n

Climate change, nature loss, and environmental issues are not future risks, they are present realities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These challenges threaten not only our environment, but also our infrastructure, economy, and public health and we are making a set of commitments to work with statutory partners, landowners, businesses, communities and our protected landscape agencies to take action.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What it means and why it matters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our ambition is to reduce emissions, restore nature and develop adaptations to improve resilience and transition to a greener future, as set out in the Devon Carbon Plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are engaging with our young people to support greater access to our natural landscape and hear their views on how we can build a more sustainable Devon, where clean growth, green jobs and innovation go hand in hand.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
