Climate Action Reporting
Islington Council is addressing acknowledged gaps in its climate action reporting and monitoring of progress towards net-zero targets.
In October 2026, Islington Council acknowledged shortcomings in its climate action reporting and progress monitoring. The Environment, Climate and Transport Scrutiny Committee heard that the council needs more consistent and targeted programmes to address climate change and achieve net-zero targets, as well as improvements to its reporting mechanisms.
Despite these acknowledged gaps, a report to the committee noted that overall borough greenhouse gas emissions have decreased by 26.9% since 2018. This includes a 9% reduction in 2022-23, though the pace of certain initiatives was identified as needing enhancement.
