The Mayor's environment strategies
The Mayor has produced five environmental strategies, which set out his priorities and proposals for making London a cleaner, greener, more sustainable city.
- Air Quality Strategy - presents a comprehensive set of policies and proposals aimed at improving London's air quality to meet the objectives set out by the government's National Air Quality Strategy.
- Ambient Noise Strategy - is part of a Europe-wide move towards more active management of what legislation calls 'ambient' or 'environmental noise' - long term noise, mainly from transport sources.
- Biodiversity Strategy - seeks to ensure that there is no overall
loss of wildlife habitats in London, and that more open spaces are created and made accessible to all Londoners.
- Climate change - Climate change is the Mayor’s top priority. The Mayor is committed to preparing London for the climate change that is now inevitable (adaptation) and limiting further climate change by reducing London's carbon dioxide emissions (mitigation). His Climate Change Action Plan recommends key actions to help London and Londoners tackle climate change.
- Energy Strategy - aims to reduce London's contribution to global
climate change, tackle the problem of fuel poverty and promote London's economic development through renewable and energy efficient technologies.
- Municipal Waste Strategy - identifies policies and proposals for reducing waste and recycling, aimed at dealing with London's growing output of municipal waste.
- Business Waste Management Strategy - Over 4 million tonnes of municipal waste is produced in London each year, and yet it accounts for just a quarter of all the waste produced in London. Therefore, the Mayor has produced a draft strategy for the remaining three quarters (13.8 million tonnes) of London’s waste produced by London's businesses.
- Water Strategy - examines how we could use our present water resources more effectively.
The Mayor has also produced a number of environmental frameworks.
