Camden Climate Change Alliance

The Climate Commitment

The College, as a member of the Camden Climate Change Alliance, are confident that we can make a positive contribution towards achieving a joint carbon emissions reduction target for the London Borough of Camden.

To do this, we will:

  • Identify the sources and scope of our carbon dioxide emissions, understand the causes of these emissions, and quantify our carbon footprint.
  • Set an appropriate and challenging target for the reduction of emissions and adopt an action plan for its achievement.
  • Embed best practice environmental and carbon management into our daily activities, supported at a senior level.
  • Communicate and interact with the Camden Climate Change Alliance and our own stakeholders, reporting performance annually and sharing knowledge and expertise for the mutual benefit of all.

In return, the Camden Climate Change Alliance will:

  • Support the process of quantifying member's carbon footprints.
  • Help members of the Alliance to identify practical emissions reduction measures and set a realistic target.
  • Organise events to share best practice and to introduce new carbon reduction solutions.
  • Hold workshops to build the capacity of members to manage and reduce their emissions.
  • Manage an information resource to share case studies, register emissions reductions, and keep members informed of new developments.
