Minutes:
Councillor Van Colle introduced the report which proposed a response to two documents from the Mayor of London on London’s energy future and the draft Climate Change Adaptation Strategy for London. He drew attention to the report to the London Councils’ Transport and Environment Committee as part of the consultation process on the climate change strategy and referred to the opportunity for a new green economy. Councillor Van Colle acknowledged that the funding required to deliver the strategy for London, £60 billion, was significant but felt it should be accepted that changes were necessary and everyone needed to contribute.
The Executive agreed the report.
