Consultation has concluded

The purpose of this survey is to gather input from all levels and areas of the Council in order to help guide the direction of Hartlepool Borough Council’s Net Zero Plan to tackle climate change. The leading cause of climate change today is the release of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, due to human activity. A 'carbon footprint' is the total amount of greenhouse gases that are generated by our actions. To be ‘net zero’ means to cut greenhouse gas emissions to as close to zero as possible, with any remaining emissions re-absorbed from the atmosphere by the oceans and forests for instance. The net zero plan sets out a strategy to make Council operations as close to net zero as possible by a set date.

The questionnaire asks about your views around climate change and what matters to you, how you think climate change affects the environment, barriers that impact on the Council’s ability to deliver its services, and what you think the Council’s priorities should be in terms of reducing its impact on climate change (mitigation) and preparing for a changing climate (adaptation).

  • CLOSED: This survey has concluded.

    What are the priorities for the Council to focus on around climate change? What can we do to reduce our contribution to climate change?

    Human activities are responsible for the majority of the increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere in recent years, which is the main driver of climate change and global warming. The total amount of greenhouse gases generated by our actions is known as our 'carbon footprint'. To be ‘net zero’ means to cut greenhouse gas emissions to as close to zero as possible, with any remaining emissions re-absorbed from the atmosphere by the oceans and forests for instance. The net zero plan sets out the strategy to make Council operations as close to net zero as possible by a set date.

    Your responses will help us develop Hartlepool Borough Council’s Net Zero Plan to tackle climate change.

    The survey will close at 5pm on Tuesday the 30th of May.
