We are committed to tackling climate change and biodiversity loss. The transition to a sustainable city is not just a priority for our citizens, but also for our industries.
Belfast has a great opportunity to lead the way in providing global green solutions by taking advantage of our unique market access and international networks. We believe that Belfast will thrive on all the opportunities in the green economy whilst creating a much cleaner environment.
This theme focuses on three priorities:
Re-naturing the city and increasing resilience to climate change
Creating a sustainable circular economy
Innovating to Net Zero
We have created detailed action plans for each of these priorities, which can be viewed by clicking on the 'action plans' links on this page.
Measures of success
The things we want to achieve by 2028 include:
protecting an additional 1,770 homes and businesses from flood risk.
planting 150,000 trees as part of the One Million Trees programme.
reducing carbon emissions by 66% by 2025.
installing at least 800 electric vehicle charging points for public use.
supporting at least two community energy schemes to implementation stage.

Thank you for taking the time to contact us.
The Belfast Agenda sets out our commitment to work in partnership to improve connectivity and active and sustainable travel options, including active travel. Actions under the “Our Planet” theme will accelerate our city’s innovation to net zero and include actions such as the installation of at least 800 EV charging points for public use; Action under the “Our Place’s” Connectivity, Active and Sustainable Travel priority include supporting behavioural change projects that aim to replace car journeys with walking, wheeling and cycling as well as projects which encourage people to use sustainable modes of travel, including public transport.
Belfast City Council recently agreed a Tree Establishment Strategy which details Council and non -Council sites for tree planting in the city. This work was informed by the Tree Equity mapping work which was carried out by the Woodland Trust and Treeconomics for Belfast and will inform the tree planting strategy going forward. Further details can be found here:
