Our climate action plan
The actions we will take to make Southwark a better place to live. Read a summary of our priority areas or download the plan in full.
Greener economy
Moving to a greener economy presents huge opportunities for our borough to benefit from our work to take climate action.
By working with businesses to grow our green economy we can provide more training and job opportunities for our residents.
We can also help residents to save money and learn new skills by promoting the circular economy where we reduce, reuse and recycle more. This will create less waste which also reduces carbon emissions.
