Principles met

Newham Council launched the UK’s first Just Transition Plan in December 2023 to support its local net-zero targets. This plan is the result of recognising the need for a comprehensive and collaborative approach to address the climate emergency reflective of the unique intersection of social, economic, and environmental risks our residents face.  The plan shifts focus from a purely decarbonisation approach to a wider stance embedding core principles of increasing equity for residents and adapting to the worsening impacts of climate change for a fairer, greener borough, adopting a co-production approach.

The Just Transition Plan comes as a collaborative effort from internal and external stakeholders, bringing the latest thinking globally through its partnership with sustainability consultants Dark Matter Labs and ARUP. It acts as a blueprint to address the unequal impacts of climate change on society to build a fairer borough with lower emissions, more equitable and future ready.
