State of the Environment report

This is the Mayor's second State of the Environment Report for London providing an update on progress on the many aspects of London's environment since the first report in 2003.

The core message is that there has been a significant improvement in the various indicators, notably transport, renewable energy, recycling and air quality. However, more work remains to be done on key issues such as the reduction of waste going to landfill, increasing recycling, reducing our water consumption and leakage, continued improvement of air quality, street cleanliness and prevention of litter if London is to achieve its goal of becoming a first class, sustainable world city.

The first Green Capital, the Mayor’s State of the Environment Report for London

The first report, Green Capital, the Mayor’s State of the Environment Report for London was published in May 2003. It provides a snapshot of London’s environmental quality, and covers everything from air pollution to allotments, and energy conservation to ecological footprints. Much of the report was compiled from new research but it has also, for the first time, drawn together existing data for the whole of London. The Mayor’s environmental strategies contain a host of initiatives to improve London’s environment. The Green Capital report will be used as a baseline for future monitoring, and the basis for assessing our success in future years.
