Project News Project Events Pilot Groups

London 21 is running an exciting new programme that will work with six community groups across London. The aim of this pilot programme is to empower London’s communities to contribute to sustainability and take action to improve their local environments by: identifying concerns and issues about their environment, mapping these concerns using data gathered by them as well as existing environmental data, and developing related action plans. This work is being run by London 21 with support from University College London.

The programme has three main objectives:

• To improve the accessibility of environmental information to Londoners
• To empower socially deprived communities to define and express their own issues and concerns about their local environment in a framework that facilitates action.
• To engage communities and young people with sustainability and environmental inequality through environmental mapping
