London’s built environment risks “falling off track” on its sustainability agenda, according to a new survey from New London Architecture.
Some 85% of NLA’s 100 member companies said that current policy and regulations were not compatible with the industry’s net zero ambitions. The survey was undertaken in September this year, prior to chancellor Rishi Sunak’s announcement this week which will see the UK become the first country in the world to make TCFD regulations mandatory and issue its first sovereign green bond.
NLA director Catherine Staniland said: “London is home to an amazing proliferation of initiatives and projects to help London become a net zero carbon city. However, our member survey showed that we risk falling off track unless our national policies and regulations fully align with these ambitions.”
