In November 2019, London Environment Directors' Network (LEDNet) and the Transport and Environment Committee (TEC) came together to discuss key climate change issues facing boroughs and how they could work together to address them. The result was an ambitious Joint Statement on Climate Change that sets out our climate programme, which spans seven themes for cross-borough collaboration.
Our climate programme covers every area London needs to achieve net zero, which includes:
- Retrofitting our buildings to make them cheaper to heat and reduce their impact on the environment.
- Increasing the number of Londoners employed in the green economy.
- Ramping up local renewable power.
- Ensuring that all new developments have a minimal carbon footprint.
- Advancing low carbon transport.
- Working with residents and businesses to reduce their consumption-based emissions.
- Developing the resilience London needs to cope with the extreme weather events that come more frequently and severely with climate change.
Our priorities for 2023-25
