The climate emergency is real, but Barnet’s Conservatives have not been taking it seriously. They have refused to declare a climate emergency locally and dragged their feet in
developing the Council’s Sustainability Strategy.

We will declare an immediate climate and biodiversity emergency and put sustainability at the heart of everything the Council does.

Below are some of our other key pledges on climate change, and you can find more details in our full manifesto:

We will achieve net zero carbon in Barnet by 2042 or earlier, and for the Council by 2030 or earlier.

We will hold a Citizens Assembly on Climate Change to co-produce and monitor delivery of an ambitious Sustainability Strategy and Climate Action Plan with local people, community groups and businesses to achieve our net zero target.

We will appoint a Lead Councillor and Lead Officer with specific responsibility for Climate Change and Biodiversity.

We will strengthen the Council’s approach to sustainability to make it more robust and comprehensive and focused on more ambitious targets and best practice from other local authorities that are further into their journey in tackling climate change.
