Our Doubling Nature Strategy

A high-level strategy for ‘Doubling Nature’ in South Cambridgeshire, setting out an approach to increasing wildlife-rich habitats and the tree canopy and improving access to green spaces, was adopted by our Cabinet on 3 February 2021.

The document complements our Zero Carbon Strategy, which sets out plans to support the aspiration to halve net carbon emissions in the district by 2030 and reduce them to zero by 2050. The two documents chart how the Council will contribute to a green local economic recovery out of the pandemic.

The Doubling Nature Strategy sets out the Council’s approach to achieving an aim first agreed by the Full Council in July 2019 and will see it working with communities, partners and businesses to protect and enhance the district’s natural capital, as well as taking action on its own estate.
