January 21, 2026 at 7:00 pm View on council websiteSummary
The Climate Scrutiny Committee is scheduled to consider a new Green and Blue Infrastructure Vision and Strategy, alongside a report on climate engagement with schools. The committee will also review a general scrutiny report.
Green and Blue Infrastructure Vision and Strategy
A significant item on the agenda is the proposed Green and Blue Infrastructure Vision and Strategy. This strategy aims to outline the council's approach to enhancing the borough's natural and water-based environments. The report pack includes a comprehensive document detailing this vision, which is expected to cover aspects such as Suitable Alternative Natural Greenspace (SANGs) strategies, the London Local Nature Recovery Strategy, and a map of flood mitigation projects. The intention is to provide a framework for improving the ecological health and resilience of Waltham Forest.
Climate Engagement with Schools
The committee is also scheduled to review a report on climate engagement with schools. This item will likely detail initiatives and plans for educating and involving young people in climate action within the borough.
The Scrutiny Report
A general scrutiny report is also listed on the agenda. This report may cover a range of topics related to the committee's oversight functions, potentially including a forward plan and a recommendations tracker, as indicated by accompanying appendices.
