In 2019 Exmouth Town Council declared a climate emergency. With a dedicated Climate and Ecological Emergency Working Party (CEE WP) and a Climate Officer Zoey Cooper in place, Exmouth Town Council is committed to making Exmouth cleaner, greener and healthier.
We want residents and visitors to thrive in a zero carbon town that is already Fair Trade and Plastic Free. We will use our resources to help build local knowledge and resilience to the climate and ecological emergency. And we will use our influence to ensure high quality, low-impact development to protect and enhance the internationally important and beautiful local environment.

The Climate Action Plan sets out key areas of influence and focus with a ten-point plan. It’s a working document that will flex and change as the climate crisis worsens.
