Delivering real green projects
Bristol Climate Action Investment is supporting climate action projects across the city.
Funding green upgrades at council owned buildings
The money invested in the first phase of the Bristol Climate Action Investment will be used to install energy-efficiency improvements to council owned buildings across the city, reducing emissions and energy bills. Works are expected to include installation of heat pumps, solar panels and LED lighting.
The buildings that will benefit from the first round of investment provide a range of services for local people including children’s respite care and community facilities at the Belbrook Children’s Respite Unit and Ridingleaze Social Services Office in Lawrence Weston, together with the Symes Avenue Social Services building in Hartcliffe.
All investments from Bristol City Council are compliant with the Green Loan Principles. These are internationally recognised standards, also used by the UK Government for its green investments products. They require that the money raised can only be used on eligible green projects, under rules laid out in the Green Finance Framework.
