    UrbanKnowledge
    London aims to reduce its CO2 emissions 60% by 2025 through various initiatives. Transport is a major source of emissions, so the city is promoting electric vehicles, congestion charging, and cycling through its popular bike share program. Retrofitting buildings to improve energy efficiency is another key strategy. With over 17,000 electric vehicles already on the road and hundreds of charging points, London hopes to accelerate adoption of low-carbon transport options as it works towards a sustainable future.
