CARBON emissions in Haringey are to be monitored more rigourously through an annual report calculating the borough’s carbon footprint.
The Carbon Report is being pushed by Haringey Council’s finance and sustainability boss Councillor Joe Goldberg who said local authorities could not afford to ignore climate change.
It builds on the council’s bid to become one of London’s greenest boroughs and will set a framework for reporting on how well it is progessing against its target to reduce Haringey’s carbon emissions (C02) by 40 per cent by 2020. The figure is 2 per cent higher than the London target.
At a meeting of the full council on Monday, January 17, Cllr Goldberg said: “The Carbon Report demonstrates our commitment to making real changes which will deliver real results for the benefit of the local environment, residents and economy.”
