Blaenau Gwent Council has approved plans to cut carbon emissions by working with businesses and residents across the county.
The Net Zero 2050 Framework gives an overview of the steps needed to reach end carbon emissions in the borough.
It covers emissions from homes, businesses, and transportation and includes a local area energy plan which models possible futures for a zero-carbon energy system.
The decarbonisation aims to ensure that the council reduces its emissions and becomes 'a helpful player in the transition to net zero.'
Blaenau Gwent has cut its carbon emissions by 44 per cent from 2005 to 2022 according to the most recent figures.
Helen Cunningham, the council’s cabinet member for place and environment said: 'Responding to the climate and nature emergencies remains a top priority for us, and we take our contribution to this global issue very seriously.
'Through our decarbonisation plan, we are doing what we can to reduce the emissions we create delivering our services and are looking at new ways of doing things to reflect our environmental responsibilities.
'To take significant strides forward, we acknowledge that local action needs to happen alongside action on a regional and national basis too.
'However, we must also be bold and be ready in our planning, as should those changes take place without substantial local action, we will not achieve a Net Zero energy system in Blaenau Gwent.
