Zero Carbon Cumbria is a brand that brings together everyone’s efforts to reduce carbon emissions in the county.
From schools to scouts, from businesses to councils, from community groups to individual residents… people and organisations are taking action to cut their carbon footprint and help reach Cumbria’s goal of being a net zero carbon county.
The Zero Carbon Cumbria website is a hub for carbon reduction action, giving you information about the impact of climate change here in the county and what’s being done about it. It showcases some great examples of what people are doing, and will hopefully inspire others to join in the journey to net zero.
Whether you’re an organisation that could participate in the Zero Carbon Cumbria Partnership, a community group that could link in with the Cumbria Sustainability Network, or an individual business or household looking for ways to cut your carbon footprint, you’ll hopefully find the information and links you need to get started.
The website is brought to you by the Zero Carbon Cumbria Partnership , which is steering carbon reduction at a strategic level in the county. The site is managed on the partnership’s behalf by Cumbria Action for Sustainability, which co-chairs the partnership alongside the University of Cumbria. It’s funded by the National Lottery’s Climate Action Fund, as part of a £2.5 million grant for the Zero Carbon Cumbria programme of projects.
If your organisation is taking action to reduce carbon emissions, tell us about it so we can feature it in the news or features sections.
Use the Zero Carbon Cumbria Doing our bit logo to show that your actions are part of the wider effort to reach net zero in the county.

The website will evolve over time, and your views will help to shape it.
