On Monday, Lambeth Council’s cabinet approved its Climate Action Plan to enable the borough to become carbon net-zero compatible and climate-resilient by 2030. The plan aims to make Lambeth a cleaner and healthier place to live, work and visit. Collaboration was at the heart of Lambeth’s approach, as the plan was developed in partnership with residents, businesses, community groups, and large organisations – including King’s.

Local representatives and residents will be guided by King’s advisors as they investigate solutions and barriers to Lambeth becoming carbon neutral by 2030. Dr Rob Cowley, Lecturer in Sustainable Cities in the Department of Geography, has joined the independent expert advisory group for Lambeth’s citizens’ assembly on climate change along with climate change charity, Ashden, London South Bank University and the South London Citizens chapter of Citizen’s UK.
