Islington Climate Change Partnership

Climate change will have severe economic, environmental and social impacts. We need to both adapt to the impacts and work to mitigate them by acting to slow climate change. Carbon dioxide, produced when fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas are burned, is the greatest contributor to climate change.

Funded by the Islington Strategic Partnership, Islington is one of the first local areas that have made a firm commitment to central government to reduce its carbon emissions across the borough. The Islington Climate Change Partnership (ICCP) is the way that organisations will come together to meet this commitment. The Partnership consists of a range of public, private and voluntary sector organisations that play an important role in Islington.

The Centre for Sustainable Energy (CSE) completed a carbon baseline study. The findings of the study have enabled the Partnership to establish collective carbon emissions, share plans to reduce energy use and meet a challenging reduction target. A copy of the carbon baseline study can be downloaded from the bottom of the page.

Through the ICCP, over 100 Islington organisations from all sectors have pledged to reduce their carbon dioxide emissions by 15% by 2010. A list of the current members can be downloaded at the bottom of this page.
