| 135701 | 848474 | Richmond Council | United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland | Europe | 1. Governance and Data Management | 1.6 | Please provide information on the overall impact of COVID-19 on climate action in your city. | 2 | Comment | 1 | Response | The pandemic represented an immediate risk and resource requirement; however, officers and members were clear that action to tackle climate change could not be postponed. Therefore, the delivery of the Richmond Climate Emergency Strategy and the associated action plan remained a priority.Some actions were progressed or accelerated, such as implementation of school streets to support social distancing, with 14 in place by October 2020. Others had to be given later delivery dates to accommodate Covid-19 responses. The Council working together as one on climate change delivered the majority of its 2020 actions and worked sensitively to ensure residents were informed and empowered about how to tackle climate change. Our yearly update to our Climate Emergency Action plan took account of difficulties resulting from the pandemic, to inform our future plans.Residents were encouraged to keep a climate change diary during the first lockdown to record local differences they observed due to the reduction in carbon emissions. This project was run with local group, Let’s Go Outside and Learn, who along with the Council were keen to understand how changes in lifestyles may impact the way residents live in the future.The pandemic had short-term impacts on travel demand, however the climate emergency will continue to require sustainable and active travel, and there is an opportunity as people see benefits in walking and cycling and experience improved air quality.Richmond Council intends to focus on building climate resilience and active travel in the new Local Plan, to bolster the progress made to date on tackling the climate emergency and encourage walking and cycling. A national emphasis on a green recovery helped to highlight climate change action in the public conversation, however, pandemic restrictions made public engagement more difficult by blocking or limiting in-person events. This meant that there was greater emphasis on virtual communication channels and adapting to the implications of Covid-19 has given the Council greater expertise in virtual communication.The Council’s communications strategy puts climate change at its heart, recognising the need to work with the people who live and work in Richmond to help everyone do their part to tackle the climate emergency by sharing information about the causes of climate change, where greenhouse gases come from, impacts of climate change and what people can do in their lives to take action. Fundamentally, the aim is to talk about the climate emergency so that it is in people’s minds and includes plans for a climate change summit coinciding with COP26 in November of 2021, which will include virtual and physical events and options for participation.Extensive information about climate change is provided on dedicated pages of the council website. This is underpinned by a communications strategy that puts climate change at its heart, making use of an established social media presence to regularly communicate on climate change and by a fortnightly meeting between the Head of Communications and the climate change team to ensure it is always high on the agenda. An example of Richmond’s strong communications approach throughout the pandemic is the London wide Solar Together scheme. Whilst all London boroughs had the opportunity to participate in this solar panel group buying scheme for residents, Richmond utilised existing strong relationships and communication channels with communities to achieve the highest number of scheme registrations of any London borough.In children’s services, the Youth Council released a climate change podcast in March 2021, giving young people another platform for their voices.The Council has encouraged residents to ‘Shop Local’ in communications throughout the pandemic. The borough is home to many businesses which offer a diverse and unique range of products and services to local people. Government and Council support has been crucial to the future of many of these businesses, as well as encouraging green practices amongst them. A new online ‘Richmond Business Hub’ has been established to provide additional support, alongside ‘Richmondworkmatch.org’ to help residents find local jobs and training, and the ‘Phoenix Enterprise Programme’ designed to help businesses ‘Reinvent, repurpose and rebuild’. The availability of local shopping and services is a vital part of achieving a green recovery and the Council is committed to supporting local businesses.This year’s Richmond Partnership Conference will focus on the longer-term vision for the adaptation of the borough’s high streets and town centres post-pandemic.Richmond has maintained pace and momentum on climate change during an exceptionally difficult year for all. This meant striking a delicate balance; continuing work whilst ensuring residents continue to be informed and empowered about how to tackle climate change in a sensitive and appropriate way. | ||

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. | ||
