Islington Council has a vision of reaching net zero carbon by 2030. The council is committed to cutting its own emissions, but - as its activity contributes just 4% of the borough’s carbon emissions - it knows it is vital that local people play their part in creating a greener future.
Islington Greener Futures was the first public green investment to be issued by a London borough, and allowed anyone to help fund a range of community initiatives across Islington, as well helping the council to reduce its own carbon footprint.
