Cardiff

Cardiff is committed to becoming a
‘One Planet City’ by 2050. Cardiff’s
current ecological footprint is nearly
3 planets; this means that if everyone
in the world lived and used resources
in the same way we do, it would take
almost 3 planets to sustain our way of
life.
As a fast growing city it is important
that we take steps to ensure Cardiff is
as clean and sustainable as possible.
This means increasing the number of
people using sustainable transport,
recycling more, and reducing pollution
and carbon emissions. It also means
considering new energy sources and
improving the city’s energy resilience
by having a range of renewable energy
sources.
Cardiff’s performance in this area
focuses on a number of indicators that
include:
• Carbon emissions
• Sustainable travel
• Waste and recycling figures
• Cleanliness
• Parks and green spaces
Outcome 5: Cardiff is Clean and Sustainable
