Our district is leading the way in becoming Carbon Neutral and Negative. Harrogate Council has pledged to have a net zero carbon economy by 2038, North Yorkshire County council have pledged for 2030. The district hosts pioneering industries in renewables, housing, heating and more. Harrogate College sits within this district to serve its community, and provide the skills needed for the future of sustainable jobs.
