Sustainable Stirling - Our Natural Environment

Energy-smart City

Transition to net zero emissions To combat climate change, our services, facilities, parks, and fleet need to transition to renewable energy sources, as fossil fuels generate carbon emissions. Substantial investment and innovative solutions are required to achieve this transition. Our community uses a large amount of energy and are seeking guidance and support to save money on energy bills, adopt active transport options and better adapt to climate change without increasing their carbon footprint. There is also a need to ensure vulnerable communities benefit from the energy transition and are not left behind.

Our Priorities 1. Improve the City’s energy management and maximise energy efficiency 2. Increase the City’s generation, storage and use of renewable energy supplies 3. Support, engage and guide our community to transition to net zero emissions.

Our Targets and Goals

100 per cent renewable electricity provision for our operations and services by 2030

Reduce our operational emissions by 70 per cent by 2030
