climate emergency response
Lewisham Council's Sustainable Development Committee is focusing its 2026-27 work on the climate and ecological crisis, linking it to housing.
In July 2026, Lewisham Council's Sustainable Development Committee decided its 2026-27 work programme would focus on the climate and ecological crisis, explicitly linking sustainability to housing. The committee, chaired by Councillor Kate Anderson, will scrutinise the council's climate emergency response, renewable energy rollout, social housing decarbonisation, waste management, and biodiversity recovery.
The committee's decision followed a meeting in July 2026 to review proposed work programmes. This ongoing work forms part of Lewisham Council's plan to address the climate emergency, alongside Islington Council's strategy and actions on the same issue.
