Royal Docks - Taking a place-based approach to a just transition

The Royal Docks, once home to the world's largest enclosed docks, consists of six distinct neighbourhoods,  100 hectares of active water and 900 hectares of land. It's home to 65k residents, 3k businesses and big ambitions to support a just transition. A unique business ecosystem and economy now exists within the docks. 

From significant municipal organisations ( Greater London Authority and Newham Council) to proactive higher education providers like the University of East London, internationally recognised manufacturing leaders Buhler and Tate & Lyle as well as, international conferencing leaders Excel, London City Airport and a number of large developers. The breadth of industry represented, the unique location and business ecosystem and our collective ambition to deliver climate solutions means a unique opportunity has formed,  to be an exemplar of place-based climate action with far-reaching impact.
