Green action for change

Green Action for Change is our environmental sustainability plan (2011-2020), which outlines our goals to create a low carbon and low waste borough, and to increase green actions taken by residents, businesses and schools.

The key environmental issues and challenges for the borough as set out in the plan are:

• reducing Camden's carbon emissions
• adapting to a changing climate
• improving air quality
• reducing, reusing and recycling waste
• enhancing biodiversity, improving green spaces and involvement in gardening and food growing

Cutting Camden's CO₂ emissions by 2020

In 2010, we commissioned a study to look at ways we could achieve our commitment for a 40% borough wide carbon emission reduction by 2020. The study informed the key carbon reduction programmes in Green Action for Change, which focus on developing local heat and power networks, solid wall insulation programmes and support for residents and businesses to cut their own emissions.
