Nottingham Green Partnership
CN28 can't be achieved by one organisation alone. To achieve our carbon reduction goals, it is important that all businesses, organisations, workers, residents, and visitors to the city play their part.
A collaboration of key city partners are working towards CN28 through the well-established Nottingham Green Partnership. First formed in 1992, the partnership consists of over 40 organisations and businesses working across Nottingham to develop, share, and encourage businesses and organisations to work together to deliver carbon reduction strategies.
Across the city, vital work is being done by the partnership members to contribute to Nottingham’s carbon neutral ambition. Some successes from across the partnership include:
⚡ Browne Jacobson, a solicitor’s firm, introduced an electric vehicle scheme as part of their employee benefits package
🏥 Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust are replacing all windows at Queen’s Medical Centre and installing a new low energy heating system to be completed March 2025. These improvements will reduce the Trust’s carbon footprint by 12,000 tonnes CO2e
🌇 Nottingham Trent University now have 15 buildings with roof-mounted solar panels, and have used their ‘Pack for Good’ scheme to divert 155 tonnes of waste from landfill
🏊♀️ The University of Nottingham have installed air source heat pumps to heat their swimming pool, and replaced their standard gas boilers with high efficiency condensing boilers
👨💼 Local businesses like LeftLion are going carbon neutral, or starting out on their journey to understand their emissions through funded university programmes and Nottingham BID's carbon literacy training.
