• Installing energy saving measures in county council buildings, reducing carbon emissions by 23% since 2017.
• Green improvements to our libraries, including replacing ageing heating systems with air to water heat pumps, installing solar panels, and replacing single glazed windows with double glazing.
• Our recent improvements to Garstang Library are a great example of this and will save 8 tonnes of CO2 per year.
• Using 100% Renewable Energy Guarantees Origin (REGO) green electricity for all buildings in our portfolio, saving 6,352 tonnes of carbon per year.

• Supporting the Cosy Homes in Lancashire scheme which provides help and assistance on energy efficiency and domestic heating measures.
• Hosting the £1million North West Rural Community Energy Fund. This pays for studies and development of community run energy projects in local areas. In Lancashire the Fund is supporting the Chipping Community low carbon heat project and a 2MW Solar Meadow in Hyndburn.
• Supporting small and medium sized businesses through the Low Carbon heat grant , which helps to fund equipment and installation of low carbon heating solutions, such as heat pumps and infra-red heating.
• supporting local businesses to reduce their carbon footprint with schemes such as the £2.7m low carbon programme to fund energy saving measures at key business sites. 

Converting 152,000 streetlights to LEDs, cutting carbon emissions by 86,400 tonnes and saving around £40m in energy costs since 2009.

• Running, walking and cycling initiatives, to help encourage active travel.
• Getting more people riding bikes though Love to Ride Lancashire. Register for free to get tips and tricks to help you swap cars for handlebars, take part in fun campaigns, track your rides and CO2 saved and be part on a supportive online community. It doesn't matter if you're new to riding or a regular commuter - everyone is welcome.
• Investing in zero emission and low emission bus fleets as part of the Bus Service Improvement Plan, which also helps to reduce CO2 by encouraging more people to use bus travel.
• Installing 150 electric vehicle charging points across Lancashire. 
• Reducing emissions from our vehicle fleet. Following trials, the first service to go electric will be the county council's parking enforcement team, which will be kitted out with 12 new electric cars.
• Approving the The Lancashire and Blackburn with Darwen electric vehicle infrastructure strategy (PDF 1.6 MB) to increase the amount of appropriate, accessible, and equitable EV charging provision across Lancashire.

• Publishing the Highways Decarbonisation Strategy which  sets out how we will achieve carbon reductions from our highways maintenance and highway related activities.
• Reducing our carbon footprint from our day-to-day highways work, including changing the way we maintain our roads. For example, using ex situ recycling, incorporating recycled rubber tyres, and trialling new biogenic asphalt.

• Establishment of the Treescapes Team to accelerate woodland planting and community engagement across the county of Lancashire.  We aim to plant over 30,000 Urban trees and cover 170 hectares of rural land by 2025, with the help of our partners Blackpool, Blackburn and Darwen councils, and Groundwork.
• Establishing and leading the Biological Heritage Site system. There are around 1,200 local sites, which identify and protect ancient woodlands, peatlands, wetlands and species-rich grasslands.
• Hosting the Lancashire Environment Record Network, which collects, manages and shares information on the species, habitats and protected areas in the county.
• Restoring peatlands to improve carbon capture, boost biodiversity, improve water quality and help tackle flooding by slowing water flow. Projects in the Forest of Bowland AONB have restored 755 hectares of our peatlands.  
• Planting 149,000 trees, capturing 37,000 tonnes of carbon over the last decade.
• Securing grants from the Urban Tree Fund to plant 600 trees on highway verges in disadvantaged areas of Fleetwood, Skelmersdale, Preston and Accrington over the next 2 years.
• Trialling the use of biochar across 6ha of farmland in Fylde and Chorley. The charcoal-like substance stores thousands of tonnes of carbon in the soil, as well as helping to improve soil quality and moisture retention. You can find out more about this new technology in the video below.
• Being the Responsible Authority for the development of the Lancashire Local Nature Recovery Strategy. The Strategy will map Lancashire's important habitats and identify opportunities for nature recovery.

• Producing the Flood Risk Management Strategy, which sets out how we will work with partners, businesses and communities to manage the risk of flooding and move to a more climate resilient Lancashire.
• Encouraging high quality blue-green sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) to be installed on major developments. These control surface water close to where it falls and mimic natural drainage as closely as possible, providing an allowance for climate change to achieve a climate resilient drainage design.
