The capital’s local authorities have agreed a joint plan to cut carbon emissions from London’s 3.8 million domestic buildings and achieve net zero, which could see £98bn invested in the green economy.

To date, more than 300 local councils across the UK have declared a Climate Emergency. A number of them have aligned with the government’s goal to reach net-zero emissions by mid-century. But setting targets is only the start of the journey. If they are serious about it, they now need to take it to the next level and develop action plans to cut carbon emissions in their local area.
