TfL has committed to several ambitious climate targets. Through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), TfL aims for an overall net-zero target across its value chain by FY2040. This includes near-term targets to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by FY2030 from a FY2022 base year, and absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 45% within the same timeframe. For the long term, TfL commits to maintaining a minimum of 90% absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions reductions from FY2030 through FY2040, and a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by FY2040, both against a FY2022 base year.
Additional commitments include London Underground (LU) aiming to reduce its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions to near zero by the middle of this decade (2023-2025). Furthermore, TfL is targeting net-zero operations by the end of December 2030 and aims for all TfL-controlled rail services to be zero carbon by 2030. The Trustee of the TfL Pension Fund has also committed to achieving a 55% reduction in its carbon emissions by 2030 at the latest, and a 100% reduction no later than 2045, using a 2016 baseline.
