Lewisham Council want to reach net zero by delivering sustainable transport projects across the borough.
Total invested
£659,957
Lewisham Council is committed to tackling the Climate Emergency and aims to make Lewisham a net zero borough by 2030. They declared a climate emergency in 2019 and have already taken important steps to cut carbon, with borough-wide emissions having fallen by 44% since 2005.
One of the council’s key strategic priorities is helping decarbonise transport — a sector which makes up 35% of emissions across the borough. They intend to achieve this through their Active Travel Fund, which supports sustainable transport initiatives to promote active travel, reduce reliance on cars and provide the infrastructure for greener transport options.
