Our Projects.
Portrait of Winchester is a collaboration between Winchester City Council and Wessex Green Hub working with businesses, charities, organisations, and members of the public to develop a shared vision for a sustainable, decarbonised future Winchester. The development of a positive future vision of Winchester is of prime importance to WCC as is demonstrated by, amongst other activities, the Carbon Neutrality Action Plan, Winchester Town Forum’s Vision 2030 and the Green Economic Development Strategy.
The purpose of the Portrait of Winchester is to translate these radical ideas for the future into specific, tangible yet transformative actions. To achieve the 2030 net zero target for Winchester District will require policies and ways of working which push the boundaries. However, what has become apparent through the Portrait of Winchester work is the need for current and future actions to extend beyond just reducing carbon emissions and meeting the 2030 carbon neutrality target. We also need to implement policies and actions which instil a sense of place, community, and belonging and create an embodied experience of sustainable living within Winchester District.
This work will set out an approach to creating a Roadmap to a future Winchester and provides a route to build a sustainable/net-zero future Winchester District. It uses well known and relevant models such as Doughnut Economics and the Theory of Change to set out a clear route to building this more sustainable future and at the same time integrates the approaches and initiatives which Winchester City Council has developed over the last few years.
