Climate Change and Biodiversity

Climate change and Biodiversity are closely interconnected, with changes in one often impacting the other. As our climate continues to change, ecosystems are facing increased stress, affecting the plants, animals, and natural habitats that sustain life on Earth.

We play a crucial role in protecting biodiversity by implementing strategies to mitigate climate change, preserve natural habitats, and promote sustainable practices. By understanding the link between biodiversity and climate change, we can work together to build a resilient, thriving environment for future generations.

Climate Change

We are committed to tackling climate change and acknowledge that we have a significant role to play in both reducing our own greenhouse gas emissions and providing leadership to encourage residents, businesses, and other organizations to cut their carbon footprints. We are taking a pragmatic approach towards becoming a net zero carbon local authority by 2030, initially focusing on our measurable carbon footprint.

Biodiversity

Biodiversity is, literally, the variety of life on earth. It embraces all living plants and animals and the ecosystems on which they depend. Biodiversity is everywhere: in gardens, fields, hedgerows, mountains, rivers and in the sea. At a local level, biodiversity greatly influences the character of our landscape. Carmarthenshire is justly renowned for its magnificent coast, quiet estuaries, steep wooded valleys and rugged uplands.
