Climate Emergency Action Plan

About this project

The development of a Climate Emergency Action Plan is a fundamental and required response to the City of London’s climate emergency declaration. The goals are to improve London’s resilience to climate change impacts, reduce London’s greenhouse gas emissions by at least 37% below 1990 levels by 2030 and reach net-zero emissions by 2050.

A recent report to Council’s Strategic Priorities and Policy Committee on April 27, 2021 provided an update on the plan’s engagement and development to date.

The City is currently reviewing the ideas and feedback collected from residents and businesses submitted between October 2020 and April 2021. This webpage will be updated with future engagement opportunities and project updates later this summer.

During the development the Climate Emergency Action Plan, positive actions around climate change continue to increase with businesses, institutions, the community, and at the City of London. There are still many opportunities to get involved. Start by measuring your climate impact with the Project Neutral carbon calculator.

Information on greenhouse gas emissions and energy use in 2020 for both the Corporation of the City of London (Executive Summary) and community-wide for all of London (Executive Summary) is now available.
