Crawley Borough Councillors have voted unanimously to bring forward the councils target for their Climate Emergency Action Plan.
Originally, this was set to reach Net Zero by 2050, but at a recent meeting, this is now set for 2040.
This new target means the council will need to reduce carbon emissions from its own operations by at least 50 per cent by 2030.
