Climate change

South Tyneside Council declared a climate change emergency on 18 July 2019.

We are implementing strategies that will bring about real change.

We aim to:

• make the Council carbon neutral by 2030
• move to cleaner, greener, renewable sources of energy 
• enhance our natural environment
