Andrew is the Director of Climate and Strategic Programmes at the London Borough of Hounslow. He has responsibility for overseeing the delivery of the council’s activity in response to the Climate Emergency which the council declared in 2019 with a focus on three key areas – decarbonisation of council operations to achieve net zero by 2030; influencing a reduction in wider borough emissions; and, making the borough resilient to the impacts of climate change. His key strategic focuses over the next year are to ensure that robust and financially viable plans are developed to achieve net zero by 2030; to establish the most appropriate commercial model(s) to secure the investment that will enable delivery at pace of the council’s whole borough climate ambitions; and, to develop a Climate Change Resilience Plan.
