Across the world, cities like Edinburgh are changing rapidly and taking on the challenges of
- climate change
- declining biodiversity
- population growth
- poverty
- inequality
- improving safety, health and wellbeing.

As well as setting a target to be a net zero city by 2030, we’ve also committed to eradicate poverty and become the data capital of Europe. The Council also declared a Nature Emergency in 2023 in response to the global nature and biodiversity crisis. You can read more about what else we're doing to manage our greenspaces.
