About the plan
London’s new Climate Emergency Action Plan is a fundamental and required response to the City’s climate emergency declaration. As part of this plan, the City has established new near-term and longer-term goals to mitigate and adapt to climate change.
The new Climate Emergency Action Plan is a community-wide plan to achieve three main goals:
Net-zero community greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050
Improved resilience to climate change impacts
Bring everyone along (e.g., individuals, households, businesses, neighbourhoods)
Review the Climate Emergency Action Plan and workplans
The complete Climate Emergency Action Plan can be read online, along with workplans and supporting documents that cover different areas of focus.
