Hampshire's Changing Climate

Welcome to Hampshire County Council’s web pages on climate change. These pages provide information on what climate change means for Hampshire and what the Council is doing about it. They are aimed at everyone who lives and/or works in Hampshire and anyone who has an interest in climate change.  

In 2006, it was agreed by the Council that ‘Within a decade Hampshire will prosper without risking our environment’. We believe that climate change is the biggest threat to achieving this goal. The Council now intends to build on its experience to date and work towards two main outcomes:

1. To prepare the organisation and the services it delivers for climate change by placing climate change considerations at the heart of the Council’s decision-making processes, policy development and operational activities.

2. To develop climate-resilient communities by working in partnership with them and other organisations to increase their own capacity to adapt.
