Transition Town Marlow's strategy is motivated by the climate crisis the urgent need for humanity to reduce man-made emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.

It is also fully consistent with the Town Council's ambition for Marlow to become net zero carbon.

We would like to set a date of 2030 by the latest to achieve net zero carbon. This is based on science, not political expediency. However, achieving net zero carbon is much more demanding and requires more profound changes than is generally appreciated.
