The Mayor of London’s office has appointed Mott MacDonald to deliver the Zero Carbon Accelerator,<\/a> as part of the city’s net zero by 2030 target<\/h2>\n

With buildings accounting for 67%* of the capital\u2019s carbon emissions, the Zero Carbon Accelerator will help organisations such as local authorities and health, education, and social housing providers, to co-create and implement their net zero plans to reduce their environmental impact.<\/p>\n

The programme has been created to address key barriers that have prevented organisations from decarbonising their buildings at the rate and scale necessary to reach net zero by 2030, including a lack of capacity, complex procurement, limited funding and supply chain challenges.<\/p>\n

Mott MacDonald will play a key role in enabling organisations to achieve net zero<\/h3>\n

Research commissioned by the Mayor of London shows that many organisations across London need expert support to increase their ability to achieve net zero.<\/p>\n

Mott MacDonald will work alongside Energy Saving Trust and an alliance of experts in energy solutions, zero carbon strategy, retrofit<\/a>, modelling, architecture and finance.<\/p>\n

The Zero Carbon Accelerator will provide essential support to organisations at every stage of their decarbonisation journey, from initial advice and training to procuring funding for projects.<\/p>\n

Key elements of the Zero Carbon Accelerator programme include:<\/h3>\n
