Our vision, becoming one of London's most sustainable boroughs
Join us on our journey to become one of London’s most sustainable boroughs.
Our vision
Our vision to become one of London’s most sustainable boroughs is a clear one, and we want to do this by leading by example, taking action that helps solve the urgent environmental, social, and economic challenges we currently face.
As we move forward, we will take action that will:
- champion zero carbon development and affordable homes
- build a local green economy with sustainable jobs and suppliers
- support residents, communities and businesses in making sustainable choices
- foster a sustainable and inclusive future for all generations
Councillor Barry Rawlings, Leader of Barnet Council, said, "Our vision is to put sustainability and communities at the heart of everything we do. We aim to create a green revolution that will future proof Barnet for future generations."
Our commitment to net zero
We are:
- committed to reduce the amount of carbon we emit as an organisation
- committed to supporting residents, communities and businesses reduce the carbon they emit across the borough
- moving towards our ambitions through the delivery of our sustainability action plan
- proud of the accelerated pace of change and the progress we have made since May 2022.
Whilst putting residents, communities and businesses at the heart of our delivery we have:
- championed sustainability
- reduced our carbon emissions
- raised awareness of the impact of a changing climate on our environment
