Climate change

The world's climate is changing. People in Salford have already seen more intense rainfall in recent summers and warmer winters with less snow.

There is compelling scientific evidence that human activity is playing a major part in climate change - we must act now to stop the situation getting worse.

Salford City Council is already committed to tackling climate change - we've signed up to a number of charters and declarations which means we have to take action.

Together, we can all make a difference! By just taking simple, everyday steps, such as turning off lights or not making unnecessary car journeys, this will all add up and make a big difference locally and globally.

Even if you are sceptical about the science, what we do know for certain is that oil and gas will eventually run out so we do need to save energy where we can and find alternatives.

These pages tell you more about climate change, what it means for people living in Salford and how Salford City Council is helping to reduce its impact.
