London recently released the draft Climate Emergency Action Plan outlining new net-zero by 2050 targets, resiliency measures, and how to engage all Londoners with climate action.
The community-wide proposed Climate Emergency Action Plan aims 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, neighborhoods)
