District Level Carbon Baseline Analysis and Pathways to Net Zero - AWARD

West Oxfordshire District Council and Cherwell District Council are district local authorities. Both authorities have dedicated climate change teams who work collaboratively on net zero projects.

Both authorities have contributed to and endorsed the Oxfordshire Net Zero Route Map and Action Plan. This report presents a 'leading the way' pathway to net zero and identifies workstreams for Oxfordshire local authorities to develop collaboratively to provide a catalyst for positive action across the region. District-specific targets are noted, Cherwell references 2030 and West Oxfordshire 2050; however, the route map modelling focuses on an Oxfordshire-wide net zero by 2050. The Future Oxfordshire Strategic Vision aims for countywide net zero to be achieved by 2040.
