Shropshire Council

Shropshire Council's climate strategy focuses on understanding and reducing its environmental impact. While detailed, consistent scope-specific emissions data across all years is not fully disclosed, available reports indicate key areas of focus and commitment.

For the reporting year 2025, Shropshire Council has disclosed Scope 3 emissions primarily related to investments, amounting to approximately 722,038,100 kg CO2e. In the same year, their combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions were approximately 15,125,000 kg CO2e.

For the preceding year, 2024 (also with a reporting year of 2025 in the data), Scope 3 emissions from investments were approximately 665,345,700 kg CO2e, with combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions at approximately 14,649,000 kg CO2e.

In 2023 (reporting year 2025), Scope 3 emissions from investments were approximately 75,000,000 kg CO2e. Earlier years, such as 2022 and 2021, also show Scope 3 emissions from investments around 70,000,000 kg CO2e and 105,000,000 kg CO2e respectively. Historical data for 2020 indicates Scope 3 investments emissions of approximately 100,000,000 kg CO2e.

The council's "Climate Strategy 2023 Progress Report" mentions carbon budgets by council directorate totalling approximately 7,383,000 tonnes CO2e and carbon budgets for state-funded schools at approximately 6,842,000 tonnes CO2e for an unspecified year, likely relating to a baseline or target setting exercise.

Shropshire Council's climate commitments are outlined in its climate strategy documents. While specific reduction targets and achievements are not detailed in the provided data, the council is engaged in monitoring and reporting on its climate performance, indicating a commitment to addressing its carbon footprint within its operational remit as a membership organisation services provider.
