Facing the challenge,
finding the path
Surrey is tackling serious climate and nature challenges, from transport pollution, energy used in our homes, to loss of biodiversity and flood risk. Let’s work together to make change happen.
- 47%
Nearly half of Surrey’s carbon emissions come from road transport. Surrey has the 4th highest road mileage of all UK local authorities.
- 31%
Housing contributes nearly one-third of county emissions. And within that, gas heating makes up a large share.
- 50%
Over half of Surrey’s residents consider climate change to be a top priority
Why local action matters
Local action accelerates climate action and nature recovery from the ground up, driving practical solutions and momentum that strengthen national and global efforts.
Why it matters here
Surrey’s mix of towns, villages and green spaces makes it a powerful place for local climate action. Residents, councils and groups are already making progress — but greater collaboration and support are key to scaling impact.
What’s already happening
We’ve supported Surrey’s first emissions baseline, created a space for groups to connect, and helped drive training, volunteering and partnership work across the county.
