Fermanagh and Omagh District Council covers an area of approximately 3,000 km2 and is home to 119,000 people. The district is the largest in Northern Ireland in terms of land mass and the smallest in terms of population. This is a key feature of the region but also a challenge in relation to how the Council delivers services. The district is a place of outstanding natural beauty, with a unique mix of tranquil Lakelands, heather clad mountains, ancient boglands, forest parks, historic towns and villages, and a rich cultural heritage.
Climate Change and Sustainable Development has been, and remains, a key priority for the Council. As a Council we are looking at how we can be better prepared to adapt to the impacts of climate change and have demonstrated commitment identifying Climate Action: Embed sustainability to ensure progress towards a Net Zero Council by 2040 as one of our 4 key priorities for the next 4 years in our Community and Corporate plans.
In July 2019, the Council declared a climate emergency in 2019, making it the first Council in Northern Ireland to do so and demonstrates the council’s commitment and resolve to tackling the climate emergency.
Our Council, Our Plan 2024-2028 has been developed on a co-design basis and sets out how the Council aims to deliver on its ambition for the people of Fermanagh and Omagh.
Our Corporate Plan affirms the Council’s commitment to deliver on our shared vision for the District and sets out the Council’s key priorities, and associated actions, for the next four years.
