The CLEAR Network

The City of London and its partners in The CLEAR Network have established this website to provide Londoners with quick and easy access to information about the issues that impact the environment in London. This website will be updated as new environmental performance data become available.

The CLEAR Network website will be improved upon on a regular basis, with content becoming richer all the time as new information and new performance indicators are developed and introduced.
 
The CLEAR Network reports on eight environmental Topics of Interest:

1. Drinking Water
2. Thames River
3. Sewage Treatment
4. Solid Waste Management
5. Trees, Parks & Natural Areas
6. Urban Planning & Smart Growth
7. Air Quality & Energy Conservation
8. Transportation

Within each topic of interest, the following is provided:

• An explanation why this topic is of interest to the public and where these issues come from.
   
• A number of environmental performance indicators that are easy to explain, understand and provide an indication of whether or not the environment is getter better, getting worse, or staying the same.
   
• A section entitled Taking Responsibility – What You Can Do, designed specifically with personal tips to encourage individuals, families, employees and employers are to take action.
   
• A section entitled Shared Accountability which highlights what others are doing including the City of London, other levels of government, community and business groups and groups from outside London.

The CLEAR Network has been being designed to provide information that everybody will understand and relate back to their own behaviour. Some of the performance indicators will still be “technical” in nature, such as levels of a particular pollutant. However, there will be a concerted effort to make sure that these indicators can be linked to activities that Londoners do in their day-to-day lives.
