London Climate Ready Partnership
The London Climate Ready Partnership (formerly London Climate Change Partnership) is the centre for expertise on climate change adaptation and resilience to extreme weather in London.
We are driving forward awareness and action on climate change so that London is able to remain a great place to live, work, visit and do business.
London is a world centre for finance, transport, politics and culture. The capital is a great city to do business and invest in because it has the vitality, skills, quality of life and infrastructure. However, many of the factors that attract and retain business and investment are vulnerable to our current and future climate.
The LCRP is comprised of public, private and community sector organisations that have a role to play in preparing London for extreme weather today and climate change in the future. We have worked to increase climate resilience within and between sectors in London since 2001. In that time we have made a lot of progress and collectively understand more now about the city’s vulnerabilities and the impacts we expect climate change to have. But there is still much to do. We welcome the participation of experts, researchers, and policy makers from across sectors to help fulfil our vision of a well-adapting London.
The London Climate Change Partnership (LCCP) collaboratively renewed its long term plan after 10 years of operation in 2012. Since then we’ve refreshed our vision and mission, and outline our priorities for the rest of the decade and beyond.
Our vision for London’s future
London will become the most climate-resilient global city. London’s people, infrastructure and systems are adapting dynamically to its changing climate, and its economy is reaping the rewards of being a world leader in this field.
LCCP’s mission
LCCP’s mission is to bring together and coordinate public, private and community sector organisations to prepare London for extreme weather today and climate change in the future.
LCCP advances its mission by:
- Collecting and sharing high quality information about expected climate change, its impacts on London and examples of suitable actions to adopt, including where appropriate commissioning research
- Raising awareness of the impacts of climate change with organisations and people, equipping them with the information they need to adapt
- Driving forward adaptation in London through member organisations, leading by example, and acting as sector champions.
- Informing policy with local evidence
- Exchanging information, experience and examples of adaptation actions with other organisations and cities, nationally and internationally
- Monitoring how prepared London is for climate change
- Seeking opportunities to improve resilience alongside reducing carbon emissions.
