Zero Carbon Policy

The purpose of the Zero Carbon Policy (‘this Policy’) is to ensure that the Dunedin City Council’s activities minimise emissions and contribute to achieving both city-wide and DCC emissions reduction targets.

This Policy seeks to achieve the purpose by:

• directing the DCC to prioritise gross emissions reductions
• establishing key principles to guide the organisation’s emissions management and minimisation practices
• reflecting the DCC’s commitment to its guiding principles of sustainability and the Treaty of Waitangi.
