Green Living Leicestershire Partnership - working together to make a difference

Green Living Leicestershire is a partnership between Leicestershire authorities to deliver projects supporting sustainability and net zero - the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions to as close to zero as possible.

Green Living Leicestershire partnership members are:

• Blaby District Council
• Charnwood Borough Council
• Harborough District Council
• Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council
• Leicestershire County Council
• Melton Borough Council
• North West Leicestershire District Council
• Oadby and Wigston Borough Council

The partnership works together on projects which support delivery of objectives in relation to environmental protection and improvement, including energy efficiency, carbon reduction, climate adaptation and resilience, nature recovery and resource efficiency, sustainable transport, circular economy and community engagement.

Projects run by the Green Living Leicestershire partnership, may include all or a group of the above local authorities.  Details of projects can be found on North West Leicestershire District Council web pages and also on other individual local authorities websites. 

All member authorities have signed the Leicestershire Climate and Nature Pact.  The success of the pact depends on residents, businesses, local authorities and other organisations in the county all working together.  The pact calls upon organisations and groups across the county to sign the pact and play their part in combating climate change and ecological decline.
