Westminster Carbon Alliance

WCA logo
It has been estimated by Central Government that almost 75% of Westminster's CO2 emissions are from energy used in commercial and other non-domestic buildings. This is higher than the rest of the UK's 50% average.

Launched in 2009, the Westminster Carbon Alliance (WCA) addresses this issue by working with organisations from different sectors in a bid to reduce CO2 emissions from their activities in the borough.
