Governance and Data ManagementGovernance1.7Please provide information specifically on the impact of the COVID-19 economic response on climate action in your city and synergies between COVID-19 recovery interventions and climate action.1ResponseIncreased finance available for climate actionRecovery interventions that boost public and sustainable transport options; Recovery interventions that develop or strengthen universal social protection systems that enhance resilience to shocks, including climate change; Recovery interventions that focus on employment opportunities in green sectorsExternal funding has increased to support recovery. We have also followed our planned increase in funding, and this increase in funding does support recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.In January 2020, the Council created a climate change fund worth £7.5 million. A mixture of capital and revenue funding, it is managed by the cross departmental climate change steering group and is used to drive forward climate change projects. Recent projects include funding for school cycle parking and school streets, energy audits and feasibility studies for school buildings, a waste reduction and behaviour change campaign and a study to understand tree planting potential.On top of the usual tree planting regime (525 trees planted in 2020/21), £974,000 has been allocated from the Climate Change Fund to plant street trees across the borough which will sequester carbon, mitigate against flood risk and improve local air quality.Richmond successful bid for funding from Defra under the Flood and Coastal Resilience Innovation programme, to improve flood resilience in the Beverley Brook catchment area, focusing on a community driven integrated water management.This programme is expected to provide approximately £6 million between April 2021 and March 2027.Richmond was one of few local authorities to successfully bid for funding via phase 1a of the Green Homes Grant Local Authority Delivery Scheme and secured further funding under Phase 1b alongside local housing provider Richmond Housing Partnership. The project is delivering improvements to households with low incomes and properties with poor energy efficiency, providing jobs to local installers and will improve the energy efficiency of an anticipated 108 homes across the borough. In total, Richmond has secured £1.1million of funding for residents through this scheme.Richmond Council is one of the first London Boroughs to join the ‘Breathe London’ trial which gives access to a network of air quality sensors and pollution data. IOT Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology is being deployed to help monitor and assess traffic and active travel movements across the Borough. The Council is introducing traffic sensors attached to streetlighting columns across the borough as a pilot scheme to obtain data on traffic and pedestrian flow and patterns. The scheme is being implemented as part of the South London Partnership’s InnOvaTe (IoT) Project administered by the City of London Corporation. The Council will combine Breathe London air quality monitors and Vivacity traffic sensors to provide data. The project uses technology to address challenges in communities and identify opportunities to help people live better, healthier lives. The data collected will help justify future expenditure on transport schemes and projects. In particular, it will help provide valuable data to inform improvements to cycling and walking routes across the Borough.https://www.innovateproject.org/Whilst LIP funding was suspended during the year, Richmond successfully accessed the Emergency Active Travel Fund to support road reallocation, promoting active travel.

First, we hope to ensure that food are always available to the people. Aside from the usual support we give our farmers and fisherfolks, the city government have also initiated advocacies on backyard vegetable gardening and urban gardening. Similarly, learning from our experience, we also hope to teach our people and their businesses to prepare financially and physically in case of similar pandemics or catastrophes by training them proper financial management, business resiliency strategies and a lot more.

To this end, the Council is working closely with key city stakeholders to promote this across a number of workstrands via a new West End Futures initiative. We are taking the opportunity to build a good understanding of green job opportunities and the role these can play in the West End of the future as well as key mitigation activities such as retrofitting. We can help promote green jobs via our Employment Service and Adult Education services to help unemployed residents into these roles where possible.We will also focus on transport options including reducing carbon emissions from freight, servicing and delivery vehicles entering the West End (for example, by creating new last mile distribution centres, pick-up and drop-off options, and bookable charging points for electric vehicles) as well as reducing emissions from passenger vehicles and encouraging sustainable travel options.
