The London Energy and Greenhouse Gas Inventory (LEGGI) is an emissions inventory which quantifies greenhouse gas emissions released to the environment from activities in London. It also quantifies emissions removed through Land Use, Land Change and Forestry sector activities. It is produced on an annual basis to measure progress against the Mayor's emissions reduction targets for London. The inventory provides emissions in...

London Heat Map The London Heat Map is a tool designed to help you identify areas of high heat demand, explore opportunities for new and expanding district heat networks and to draw potential heat networks and assess their financial feasibility. The new version of the London Heat Map was created for the Greater London Authority by the Centre for Sustainable Energy (CSE)...

The Properties Vulnerable to Heat Impact report, produced by Arup, maps London's heat risk across homes, neighbourhoods, and essential properties in the wake of climate change. The study focused on essential settings, emphasising areas where occupants are especially vulnerable to heat-related hazards. This included schools, hospitals, care homes residential properties and neighbourhoods. Properties Vulnerable to Heat Impact Report | London City Hall

The central London Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) was introduced to clean up London’s most polluted air. It started on 8 April 2019, operates in the existing central London Congestion Charge Zone, 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Vehicles must meet strict emission standards to drive in the central London ULEZ area, or pay a charge. It...

The Ultra Low Emission Zone will be expanded from the 25 October 2021 to include the area up to the North and South circular roads (from the Congestion Zone). ULEZ was introduced to clean up London’s most polluted air. It started on 8 April 2019, operates in the existing central London Congestion Charge Zone, 24 hours a day, every day...

The Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) boundary expanded across all London boroughs on 29 August 2023 to help clear London’s air. Vehicles driving across London must meet the ULEZ emission standards, or pay a daily charge. This includes residents within the ULEZ.

The GLA have produced a dataset that provides a more accurate estimate of the extent of the London’s green infrastructure - the city’s parks, gardens, trees, green spaces, rivers and wetlands, and features such as green roofs.  The green cover layer was created by combining classified near-infrared aerial imagery (NDVI) with land use datasets and resulted in a green cover estimate...

The Mayor is committed to cutting fuel poverty and increasing the energy efficiency of buildings across London. To help target where action is most needed, the Mayor has developed a London Building Stock Model with the UCL Energy Institute. The London Building Stock Model is a database of all the energy and carbon data collected through the Mayor’s energy programmes and...
