Carbon Neutral Britain
Carbon Neutral Britain helps the UK take the lead in saving the planet. So far our projects have helped offset over 500,000 Tonnes of CO²e and plant over 3 million trees, helping stop climate change and provide essential forest habitats for endangered wildlife. Time to save the world.
Net Zero Target

Reaching net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions requires extensive changes across the economy, but the foundations are in place. Major infrastructure decisions need to be made in the near future and quickly implemented. These changes are unprecedented in their overall scale, but large-scale transitions have been achieved successfully in the UK before, such as the natural gas switchover in the 1970s or the switch to digital broadcasting in the 2000s.
