London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham, GB Climate Tool

Borough departments with purchases and projects of more than £300,000 are required to use the self-guided tool. A 29-question spreadsheet asks users how their decisions interact with six sustainability areas like travel and energy consumption. Completed assessments are sent to the council's Climate Unit for review and recommended changes. The tool reduces the council's impact on the environment and increases familiarity with climate issues.
