Northumberland's journey to Net zero...

Northumberland County Council is on a mission to make Northumberland a net zero county by 2040.

This means, by 2040, we want to be at a point where the amount of greenhouse gases produced in Northumberland is balanced by the amount removed from the atmosphere, resulting in no additional emissions.

Let’s work together to protect the Northumberland
we pass on...
