Action Today to Protect Tomorrow

The Mayor's Climate Change Action Plan

View of London from the London EyeAction Today to Protect Tomorrow - The Mayor's Climate Change Action Plan sets out a path for London to tackle this challenge and to deliver London's CO2 targets.

The core message of the Climate Change Action Plan is that Londoners do not have to reduce their standard of living for London to play its part in tackling climate change, but we do all have to change the way we live.

We have to move from a high energy-use, wasteful economic model to one that conserves energy and minimises waste. In other words we have to be more efficient.

As our focus is on efficiency, many of the measures advocated in this plan will deliver net financial benefits over a relatively short period of time, as well as cutting emissions. And as the government’s comprehensive ‘Stern Review’ of the economics of climate change demonstrated, it will be far cheaper to invest now to reduce carbon emissions, rather than ignore the problem and face far higher costs in the future.

The report is available to download in its entirety or by each individual chapter.
