Your January 2022 report, London Net Zero 2030: An Updated Pathway, outlines the need for bolder action to reduce traffic by 27 per cent and thus reduce transport emissions by 2030. What changes are you implementing to reflect this in responses to local plans and planning applications by you and Transport for London (TfL) in order to highlight your pathway to 2030 and other national climate targets through your spatial planning powers?

Your January 2022 report, London Net Zero 2030: An Updated Pathway, contains a scenario that would reduce car vehicle kilometres by 27 per cent by 2030 to reduce transport emissions, with remaining emissions to be offset. However, the Climate Change Committee has advised that greenhouse gas removals are not viable at scale before the mid-2030s. Is it credible, therefore, to suggest London's remaining transport emissions can be offset by 2030?

Your January 2022 report, London Net Zero 2030: An Updated Pathway, contains a scenario that would reduce car vehicle kilometres by 27 per cent by 2030 to reduce transport emissions, with remaining emissions to be offset. This report also includes a scenario where car kilometres are reduced by 40 per cent. What would be the additional cost of seeking to offset London's transport emissions if traffic is only reduced by 27 not 40 per cent by 2030?
