Sustainability and the Environment

Our Commitment to the Environment and Biodiversity

North Wales Fire and Rescue Service is dedicated to protecting our communities and the natural environment that sustains them. We recognise that climate change is not only an environmental issue but a growing operational challenge. Rising global temperatures and changing weather patterns increase the risk of wildfires, flooding, and other severe incidents, placing greater demands on our Service.

To respond effectively, we are committed to reducing our environmental impact and supporting biodiversity through sustainable practices. Our approach focuses on:

implementing energy-efficient technologies and promoting greener transport solutions.
supporting habitats and species through responsible land management and conservation initiatives.
preparing for and mitigating the risks of wildfires and flooding through proactive planning and community engagement.
minimising waste, conserving water, and sourcing materials responsibly.
working with partners and local communities to raise awareness and encourage environmental stewardship.

Senior management lead this commitment because safeguarding the environment is essential to our mission of protecting life and property. By integrating sustainability and climate resilience into everything we do, we aim to create a safer, greener future for North Wales.
