net-zero carbon targets

1 story · discussed at 1 council meeting · 2 councils

Islington Council is addressing gaps in its reporting and monitoring of progress towards net-zero carbon targets.

Islington Council's Environment, Climate and Transport Scrutiny Committee heard in October 2026 that there are shortcomings in its climate action reporting and progress monitoring. The council acknowledged data gaps and a need for more consistent programmes to achieve net-zero targets.

A report to the committee noted that overall borough greenhouse gas emissions have decreased by 26.9% since 2018, including a 9% reduction in 2022-23. However, the council's reporting mechanisms and the pace of certain initiatives require enhancement.
