Reading’s plan for a net zero, climate-resilient town by 2030

Welcome to this framework for collective action.
There are SO many ways to help make Reading a happier, healthier, more connected and climate-friendly place to live.
Let’s see what we can create, together!

The Action Plan

The Action Plan turns the Strategy into action. It sets out the specific initiatives, partnerships and opportunities that will help reduce emissions and build resilience across Reading. It is designed to evolve over time as new ideas emerge and progress is made.

Explore the Action Plan themes

Each theme brings together actions, organisations and opportunities to make progress in a specific area.

Food Action Plan

Let’s build a healthier, low-carbon food system in Reading. One that is local, affordable and sustainable. Less waste, more sharing, and better access to healthy food for everyone.

Our Strategy

The Strategy sets the long-term direction for Reading’s response to the climate emergency. It outlines the scale of the challenge, the opportunities ahead and a shared vision for a low-carbon, climate-resilient town. It provides the context and priorities that guide everything in the Action Plan.

Get involved

This is a shared effort, and progress depends on people getting involved. Whether you’re an individual, organisation or community group, there are opportunities to contribute across every theme, from shaping ideas and joining working groups to delivering projects or supporting existing initiatives.

If you can offer time, expertise, funding or influence, there’s a role for you.

Stories

This Strategy and Action Plan set out how Reading can respond to the climate emergency over the next five years.

Together, they provide a shared direction and a practical framework for action, bringing together local organisations, communities and individuals to reduce emissions, adapt to change and build a more resilient town.
