Sustainability and the environment were at the heart of London’s successful bid for the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The London Legacy Development Corporation respects these promises and are creating sustainable neighbourhoods relevant to the world’s changing climate.
Vision and aims
London Legacy Development Corporation has a vision to deliver a pioneering model of urban regeneration, including providing sustainable infrastructure that allows people to live low carbon, resource efficient and healthy lifestyles. Placemaking at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park involves people and nature with the backdrop of a changing climate. We are committed to the Mayor’s response to the Climate Emergency which is for London to be Zero Carbon by 2030. All our carbon reduction efforts are aligned with the Mayor’s Zero Carbon Action Plan to limit global warming by 1.5°.
Our approach to achieving our sustainability vision is set out in our Climate Action Strategy which provides greater details on our commitments and targets.
Our Climate Action Strategy
Our Climate Action Strategy aligns with the Mayor of London’s mitigation target to achieve net zero carbon (NZC) by 2030, aligned with limiting London’s contribution to climate change to a maximum of 1.5°C in global temperature increase above pre-industrial levels.
The strategy also adopts the Mayor of London’s guidance and recommendations in relation to adapting to climate change and ensuring London is more resilient to climate risks such as flooding, drought, extreme heat, and wildfires, associated with climate change.
Through our Climate Action Strategy LLDC continues to plan, communicate and deliver our mitigation and adaptation actions to ensure our climate emergency response supports an inclusive and fair transition to a low carbon, climate resilient future to the benefit of local people.
Monitoring and Reporting
Each year we produce our annual sustainability report.
In 2023 our climate action strategy replaced our previous environmental reporting framework Your Park Our Planet, and all subsequent reports will now describe our sustainability performance against our climate action strategy targets and objectives.
These reports reflect our continued commitment to environmental sustainability at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park as set out in our climate action strategy. The reports present a summary of achievements and progress made under our three key environmental themes during each annual reporting period according to our stated targets and policy commitments.
