147701848474Richmond CouncilUnited Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern IrelandEurope14. Water Security14.2aPlease identify the risks to your city’s water security as well as the timescale and level of risk.5Risk description2The overarching authority for London, the GLA, is working with water companies, the Environment Agency and local authorities to achieve the effective management of London’s existing and future water resources. This includes both making sure we use the water we have wisely, by improving water efficiency and reducing leakage, as well as finding new sustainable water sources. The Mayor has convened a Water Advisory Group to advise on this.

Actions are underway to try and reduce plastics in our waterways (see our Climate Change Strategy and Action Plan) – however some damage has already been done.
147705848474Richmond CouncilUnited Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern IrelandEurope14. Water Security14.2aPlease identify the risks to your city’s water security as well as the timescale and level of risk.5Risk description6Fundamentally as the local climate warms we may see an increase in water borne disease - a growing body of evidence suggests that climate change may alter the incidence of waterborne diseases, and diarrheal diseases in particular. This is also linked to severe weather events, high temperatures can alter pathogen survival, replication and virulence, heavy rainfall events can mobilise pathogens and compromise water and sanitation infrastructure, and drought can concentrate pathogens in limited water supplies. See Levy, Karen et al. “Climate Change Impacts on Waterborne Diseases: Moving Toward Designing Interventions.” Current environmental health reports vol. 5,2 (2018): 272-282. doi:10.1007/s40572-018-0199-7

The Decarbonisation approach was agreed at Finance, Policy and Resources Committee in November 2020. The Council successfully bid for circa £300k of funding to deliver feasibilities and projects to deliver carbon savings via the Low Carbon Skills Fund and Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme.We also maintain a rolling programme of leak detection and swiftly repairing water supply pipes to reduce leakage

Water Security14.3Please select the actions you are taking to reduce the risks to your city’s water security.4Action description and implementation progress3(172) Identify sources of funding and assistance for retrofitting roofs on residential and commercial buildings with green or blue roofs - Progress against this action - This is an ongoing process(177) Provide Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) using identified funding from Thames WaterProgress against this action - The Council submitted a bid to Thames Water last year to secure funding as one of their strategic partners. This funding is to be used for SuDS installation to reduce the pressure on Thames Water’s sewer network. Thames Water’s business plan was not accepted by Ofwat which has resulted in a delay in Thames Water announcing who has been successful. Feedback taken forward and being taken into account in bid for funding of flood resilience projects including to Defra Innovative Resilience Fund. Under the new Planning Obligations SPD, provision of flood risk management measures such as Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) are expected to be provided on-site and secured through conditions or a s106 agreement.

Water Security14.3Please select the actions you are taking to reduce the risks to your city’s water security.4Action description and implementation progress4171) Identify opportunities for reducing runoff and improving storage capacity and highlight to businesses and residentsProgress against this action - This is an ongoing process. The Beverley Brook Flood Resilience Project includes opportunity mapping - identifying and mapping schools, community centers, youth centers, community buildings and sports facilities in the catchment. Mapping these buildings and facilities will help inform the project of potential for SuDS and NBS at these locations. Focusing on these types of properties will also provide valuable opportunities for community engagement and learning. Together with the baseline risk modelling this will help in identifying opportunities for residents to take action at property level to increase resilience to flood risk.This project will seek to galvanise support amongst the local communities affected for the infrastructure changes that provide mitigation against and adaptation to flooding and encourage complementary action by residents.

Water Security14.3Please select the actions you are taking to reduce the risks to your city’s water security.4Action description and implementation progress8The council recognises to reduce the levels of plastic in freshwater bodies, measures are needed to significantly decrease the prevalence of single-use plastic.(14) Reduce and remove single use plastics from Richmond Council sites(99) Raise awareness across Richmond of the ten most common consumer single use plastics items and how to reduce their use(100) Work with local groups and champions to support plastics free community campaigns(101) Work with businesses to encourage refill points in shops to reduce single use plastic(102) Support schools with information and action they can take around reducingplastic use(103) Encourage community events to have a ‘green’ plan – for waste / recycling /single use plastics(104) Working with pubs in the borough to participate in cup deposit scheme toreplace single use plastic cups (105) Continue the roll out of public drinking fountains in parks and on-street.(106) Identify additional funding sources to enable the delivery of additional public drinking fountains and sites to locate them.(109) Review Events Policy in Parks to restrict hirer use of single use plastics and promote sustainable practices(112-119) - Encouraging the Circular Economy - Our action plan includes a commitment to encourage and support the circular economy, working with local partners and our residents to adopt low/zero-waste approaches. Progress: A circular economy action plan for West London has been developed and is underway, which will focus on awareness raising of the circular economy amongst residents and businesses (culminating in London Circular Economy Week in June), identifying the extent of and opportunities for the circular economy, and developing shared circular economy principles and approaches for local authorities. Phase 1 of the action plan is due to be delivered by the end of September 2021.The 2021 Climate Emergency Strategy Action Plan contains seven specific actions, all for delivery in the first half of 2021/22, that are focused on reducing single plastic use across the borough. This includes a vision on how the borough can be single-use plastic free and working with local groups and champions to support single-use plastic free campaigns.

147745848474Richmond CouncilUnited Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern IrelandEurope2. Climate Hazards and Vulnerability2.0aPlease select the primary process or methodology used to undertake the risk and vulnerability assessment of your city.2Description1Risk assessment methodologyThe RCES was based on international, national and regional information about the risks of climate change and included references to the local geography and climate in assessing risks. The strategy sits alongside other existing plans. The Thames Estuary Plan recommends actions for flood risk management for London and the Thames estuary through to the end of the century and beyond. Updated TE2100 policies will be incorporated into the new Richmond Local Plan. A new Surface Water Management Plan will identify areas with higher numbers of properties at risk of flooding. It will present borough-wide surface water flood risk mitigation options. We are working on producing our own Climate Vulnerability Risk Assessments: our Strategy does not yet include a full Climate Risk assessment using a methodology as outlined. The Council has already mapped vulnerable populations through work on the Green Homes Grant, which identified homes that were poorly adapted to climate impacts by virtue of low EPC ratings, overlayed with low income, deprivation and other factors that mean a community is more at risk of climate impacts, for example due to digital exclusion or having English as a first language. The Council also draws from data including the Climate Risk Mapping carried out by the GLA and Bloomberg Associates, analysing Flood Risk, Heat Risk and Overall Climate risk on London’s hexagonal grid. https://data.london.gov.uk/dataset/climate-risk-mappingThe Council operates Datarich.info which provide us with data on where our vulnerable populations are located in the borough, mapping vulnerabilities such as heat and indices of multiple deprivation, highlighting these risks to inform our approaches.As part of our ongoing examination of useful datastreams, we are using the place-based carbon calculator, a detailed mapping tool produced by the Centre for Research into Energy Demand Solutions (CREDS). The Council’s work is also informed by the recent 2021 progress report to parliament from the Committee on Climate Change, which offers scientifically-backed insight into national progress on climate change actions, as well as detailing the different types of hazards we face and will face in the coming years, including drawing evidence-based conclusions on how they might intensify and making suggestions for priorities going forwards.
