net-zero emissions
Councils are assessing progress towards net-zero targets and setting new policies for emissions reduction.
Kingston upon Thames Pension Fund set a target to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, with interim goals to reduce carbon intensity and invest in climate solutions. These commitments, including a revised Responsible Investment Policy, were detailed in a report presented to the Pension Board in March 2026.
Haringey Council reported a 26% reduction in borough-wide carbon emissions since 2015, with a further 6% decrease in the last year. This progress, detailed in the Fifteenth Annual Carbon Report presented to Full Council in March 2026, falls short of the 51% reduction required by 2023 to meet its 2041 net-zero target.
