In the Spring of 2019 Mid Devon District Council joined with other local authorities across the county to commit to tackling climate change and became part of the Devon Climate Emergency partnership.
On 26th June 2019 the district council signed the Devon Climate Emergency Pledge and formally showed its support of the Devon-wide target of becoming carbon neutral by 2050. In addition to this county-led target, elected Members in Mid Devon set their own local ambition to become carbon neutral by a more ambitious date of 2030.
Work to achieve this target is already in progress.
