Winchester Declaration on Climate Change

The Winchester Declaration on Climate Change is the pledge for organisations to cut their own carbon footprint. The Declaration was launched on 26th January 2010 in Winchester.

This declaration recognises the seriousness of the threat of human caused climate change and the potential benefits, both social and economic, to the Winchester area, by becoming a leading city in creating a low carbon society.

Organisations agreeing to sign up will publish a plan for reducing their carbon footprints by 20 percent by 2012, sign up to at least one low carbon campaign, and support their staff in reducing their own personal carbon footprints.

A project to support organisations in reducing their own carbon footprints, and meeting the aims of the Declaration was undertaken between February 2010 and March 2011.  The final report of this project can be found on the right.

In addition, the Low Carbon Champions project supports the development of staff champions for climate change activity within organisations.  A description of this project can be found on the right.
