… 10% between 2019 and 2030. The council owns and operates a fleet of around 600 vehicles, responsible for 1.5% of the total emissions from road transport in the borough. Reducing transport emissions requires a combination of: • A shift away from car travel to walking, cycling and public transport • Rapidly increased uptake of zero emissions vehicles such as battery electric cars…
… the borough. But we know we need to do a lot more.

… and electricity used in buildings, and the fuel used in road transport. The borough is estimated to have emitted 733 kilo-tonnes of CO 2 equivalents3 in 20194 . A “Baseline” scenario5 shows that if we carried on with the policies in place today, our emissions would be expected to decrease by only 14% over the 10 years to 2030. Without additional large-scale action, natural gas boilers…
… are likely to continue to provide 85% of building heating in Royal Greenwich in 2030, directly emitting carbon dioxide on-site. In the transport sector, despite the growing market share of electric vehicles, emissions in the borough are predicted to decrease by less than 10% between 2019 and 2030 if no significant additional action is taken. Reducing emissions will require a combination…
