Working together to reach net zero 2030

In December 2018, the Mayor declared a climate emergency and made a commitment to make London a net zero carbon city by 2030.¹

The Greater London Authority (GLA) stated that “the Mayor and GLA are only directly responsible for the emissions of the GLA Group, which is less than 5 per cent of London’s overall emissions, and therefore can’t do this alone, every London stakeholder, as well as national government, will need to play their part if we are to achieve our 2030 net zero target.”²

With just over five years until 2030, has the Mayor effectively communicated to Londoners and London’s businesses what support is available to ensure they play their role in helping London meet this target?

The London Assembly Environment Committee will meet to quiz experts and the GLA on how effective the Mayor’s communications have been in working towards the 2030 target as part of its investigation into building action on net zero.

The guests are:
