Sustainability Strategy

In 2019 Milton Keynes Council’s three political groups agreed a climate emergency. In the Milton Keynes Sustainability Strategy 2019-2050 and accompanying Action Plan, we set ambitious aims for Milton Keynes as a Council and as a City; to be carbon neutral by 2030 and carbon negative by 2050. These are challenging targets, and ones on which the City Council must lead by example, to encourage change from the City’s citizens and businesses. 

Milton Keynes City Council wants to go further than this and in 2025 outlined ambitions to be a Net Zero Authority and City by 2030. An updated Five-Year Plan outlines the Council’s Pathway to Net Zero 2030 for its own emissions, demonstrating the key themes and programme deliverables that we will undertake to deliver this aim and ambition. A separate Milton Keynes City Sustainability Strategy will follow, highlighting how the Council will support the city to reach Net Zero.
