Camden air quality sensor network launches 30 June


The public launch of the ‘Camden Sensor Network’, a hyper-local air quality monitoring network comprising of 227 sensors located throughout the borough will take place on 30th June. AirScape have been working with Camden Council and the Camden Clean Air Initiative to create this innovative project which will provide real-time air quality data to the public at a much denser spatial resolution than has previously been possible.

Each sensor will measure a range of pollutants every minute, including nitrogen dioxide, Particulate Matter (PM10 & PM2.5) and Ozone. Information will be accessible through the AirScape portal.

New social and environmental reporting rules for large companies

From 2024, large EU companies and non-EU businesses with substantial activity in the EU market will need to publicly disclose information on the way they operate and manage social and environmental risks.
 
The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive will make businesses more accountable by obliging them to disclose their impact on people and the planet. This aims to end greenwashing and lay the groundwork for sustainability reporting standards at global level.

The new EU sustainability reporting requirements will apply to all large companies (with over 250 employees and a 40 million euro turnover, as defined in the Accounting Directive), whether listed or not. Companies will have to report on their impact on the environment, human rights, social standards and work ethics, based on common standards.

Celebrating Climate Action Case Study: Park the Plastic

Park the Plastic is run by Plastic Free West Hampstead. It is part of the Plastic Free Communities (PFC) campaign launched by Surfers Against Sewage a few years ago. PFC encourages community leaders to implement the campaign in their local area.

There are targets to meet before declaring an area as a Plastic Free Community.

  • Get local businesses to replace single-use plastic with sustainable alternatives.
  • To get support from local councillors and Council.
  • Work with Plastic Free Partner organisations.
Plastic Free West Hampstead support the local community through:
  • Local community litter picks.
  • Raising awareness about the single-use plastic problem and awarding local businesses with Plastic Free Champion certificates.
  • Educating local cafes to encourage reuse over disposables by providing 'Bring Your Reusables' posters.
