New Climate Change Programme Action Plans are being published by London Councils, setting out how boroughs will work collaboratively to reach net zero targets across the capital.
The plans cover a range of issues, including retrofitting all domestic and non-domestic buildings, halving road journeys made in petrol and diesel vehicles and encouraging active travel, and reducing consumption emissions by two thirds.
The plans have been drawn from the Joint Statement on Climate Change, which was agreed by London Councils’ Transport and Environment Committee and London Environment Directors’ Network, committing London boroughs to delivering major programmes which address key climate change issues.
Mayor Philip Glanville, Chair of London Councils’ Transport and Environment Committee, said: ‘From confronting carbon emissions from motor vehicles, to building local green economies, and sourcing and creating sustainable energy, London boroughs are a key player in the transition to Net Zero.
‘The recommendations highlighted by the London Councils Climate Change Programme Action Plans are crucial opportunities to make London cleaner, greener and more sustainable. For example, by focusing on boosting green skills, we will see an increase in jobs across London and the number of sectors embracing green skills and technologies.
‘It is vital that we make a just transition to Net Zero that does not exclude or disadvantage any of London’s communities. That is why social justice is embedded in all of the Actions Plans. Boroughs are providing a leading example of how to collaborate to find proactive solutions on the journey to Net Zero. By implementing these plans across London’s boroughs and working with partners, we will tackle the climate emergency head on.’
Each of London Councils’ Climate Change Programmes is led by one or two lead London boroughs (LB) who will oversee and drive forward the implementation of each action plan. These include:
