Southwark Council Climate Action Plan
Southwark Council is focusing on environmental sustainability within its new plan and updating its pension fund's carbon footprint.
Southwark Council's new joint administration adopted an ambitious plan in September 2026, which includes a focus on environmental sustainability. This strategic direction complements the council's ongoing work to update the carbon footprint of its pension fund, a discussion held by the Pensions Advisory Panel in September 2025.
The Pensions Advisory Panel discussed strategies to reduce the pension fund's environmental impact, such as divestment, engagement with companies, and impact investing. This forms part of the council's commitment to responsible investment, considering broader environmental, social, and governance factors.
The Southwark Council Climate Action Plan is a strategic plan outlining actions to address climate change and promote sustainability within the borough. It was adopted in July 2021 with the aim of achieving carbon neutrality by 2030.
