LSx takes inspiration from many sources, identifying the critical elements for any given project and continuously building on our own experiences and those of others. In 2010/11 we were able to save 1,300 tonnes of CO2 and engaged with 120,000 people to lead healthier, more sustainable lifestyles.
- We’ve put research into practice, building on strong social networks and working with influential people. For example, our work in London’s Low Carbon Zones promoting energy and water saving behaviours, and Well London Communities promoting healthy lifestyles.
- Our community-led approaches build on NICE’s guidance and other methods such as participatory budgeting. We reach isolated groups, increase community cohesion and engage people on health in London’s most deprived wards through our Well London programme.
- Building on the Sustainable Development Commission’s 4 E’s model, we work to enable and engage public and private sector organisations all over London to better plan their own projects to deliver effective change.
- We primarily engage with people who are not interested in environmental issues, for example using diverse faiths and cultures as a hook to outreach to London’s communities in our Diverse London and Motivate London programmes.
- We’ve helped build environmental capacity and given sustainability support to SMEs all over London, often by working with business networks and their community of customers.
