Wychavon District Council has shown strong leadership on carbon reduction and environmental stewardship for two decades. We first signed up to the Worcestershire Climate Change Pledge in 2005, agreed a climate change action plan in 2008 and adopted our first Wychavon Intelligently Green Plan in 2012.
The current Intelligently Green Plan was adopted in April 2026 and covers the period from 2025 to 2030. This latest version was developed as part of a 5 year review of the previous plan that was created in 2020. This review consisted of a substantial amount of work to review the plan, making sure that the vision, priorities and actions were relevant, deliverable and focused on those areas making the biggest impact up until the end of this decade.
The overall vision of the plan has four strands. These are:
- To lead the Wychavon district to be net-zero greenhouse gas emissions as quickly as possible and by 2050 at the latest
- To make the most of the opportunities that tackling climate change presents to further strengthen and grow our local economy
- To increase and improve a range of habitats across the district to support carbon capture and biodiversity.
- Adapt to climate change to ensure the council and our communities are resilient to its future impacts.
The plan has four priority areas, which represent the critical areas where we need to see decarbonisation progress in next 5 years in order to achieve our 2030 and 2050 targets.
These are:
- Energy
- Low Carbon Travel
- Natural Environment
- Policy & Resources
