Just transition initial analysis by industry group in London

These slides begin to explore the potential impacts of the transition to a net-zero carbon and circular economy on different industry groups and workers in London.It should be noted that this analysis has not been based on London’s emissions as reported through the London Energy and Greenhouse Gas Inventory (LEGGI). Instead we use UK level data on emissions and energy consumption by industry group and apportion to a London level using regional employment estimates.This is an imperfect approach, intended to provide a first approximation of trends by industry group based on available data. The findings provide an initial insight but should be treated with caution. Main findings from the analysis Among the main findings, the analysis shows that by industry group: London apportioned GHG emissions are highest in Transport & Storage, followed by Electricity & Gas and Manufacturing High-emitting industry groups tend to account for a relatively small share of employment among London residents Some (but not all) high-emitting industry groups have seen a recent increase in GHG emissions at the UK level and employment at the London level Jobs in high-emitting industry groups tend to be spatially concentrated in different parts of London What are the main assumptions behind these findings? In the absence of sub-national estimates being available by industry group, we have apportioned UK GHG emissions and energy consumption to London using (resident based) ONS Annual Population Survey data. This allows us to look at trends using Standard Industrial Classification (SIC 2007) groups. This approach assumes that GHG emissions per worker and energy consumption per worker are the same within industries across the country. In reality, the occupational structure and carbon intensity of an industry is likely to vary across regions. It also reflects resident, not workplace, employment patterns. Our London apportion estimates also exclude GHG emissions from consumer expenditure and only covers direct emissions by industry. Further analysis of indirect emissions across supply chains could be of value when considering the longer-term challenges faced by the economy as part of this transition.

Learning lessons from previous pandemic-related and other shocks

The purpose of this report is to collate literature on the health, social, community, economic and environmental impacts of epidemics, pandemics and other shocks that have had large-scale impacts on different countries and cities internationally. The literature review will help to answer the question, “What could an effective, evidence-based, long-term plan to drive London’s recovery from the impacts of the global pandemic, COVID-19, look like?”The research was carried out from May – August 2020 before the second wave.

London Job Posting Analytics

This workbook summarises recent Job Posting Analytics related to delivery drivers in London. The data is provided by Emsi, a data modelling company. It looks at job postings based on two different classifications: Job title ('Delivery Driver') Occupations ('Van drivers' and 'Postal workers, mail sorters, messengers and couriers') Please note: Job postings are collected from various sources and processed to provide information such as occupation, skills, and geography One posting can appear on multiple websites, multiple times - a unique job posting is a job posting that has been de-duplicated A job title is the name of the job role as described in a job posting; this is different to a Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) code Posting Intensity is the ratio of total to unique jobs postings - a higher ratio can indicate that employers are putting more effort towards hiring Source: Emsi, 2021.

Lost worker vs. tourism expenditure in the Central Activities Zone (CAZ) during the COVID-19 Pandemic

During the pandemic, the loss of expenditure in London’s Central Activities Zone (CAZ) due to both workers staying at home and tourists being unable or choosing not to visit has had a major impact on the retail, leisure and hospitality sectors.This analysis seeks to investigate the relative importance of these two cohorts to the CAZ. We estimate local expenditure from commuters to the CAZ in 2020, in a scenario with and without Covid-19. We compare this difference to the anticipated drop in inbound and domestic tourist expenditure in 2020, which we estimate by adjusting forecasts for London produced by Visit Britain.We estimate a £10.9bn loss in tourism expenditure in the CAZ (£3.5bn domestic and £7.4bn inbound) compared to a £1.9bn loss in expenditure from commuters to the CAZ (£1.4bn of this expenditure is from commuters from London and £0.5bn is from commuters outside of London).

Prevalence of Childhood Obesity, Borough, Ward and MSOA

Prevalence of underweight, healthy weight, overweight and obese children.The data covers children in Reception year (aged 4-5) and Year 6 (aged 10-11)There is the potential for error in the collection, collation and interpretation of the data (bias may be introduced due to poor response rates and selective opt out of larger children which it is not possible to control for).The National Child Measurement Programme (NCMP) does not include children in the Independent sector, therefore, coverage of school children aged 4-5 is not complete.Data from The Health and Social Care Information Centre, Lifestyle Statistics / Department of Health Cross-Government Obesity Unit NCMP Dataset.95% confidence intervals should be taken into account when making direct comparisons of two different prevalence figures. Where confidence intervals overlap, it is not possible to say that a difference is statistically significant.Local Authority mapping in this data has been based on school location. Since 2010/11 data by location of pupil residence is also available from the Information Centre website.Note in since the publication of the 2011/12 to 2013/14 dataset, the boundaries used at the new 2014 ward boundaries and the 2011 Middle Super Output Area (MSOA) boundaries. Before this it was pre-2014 ward boundaries and 2001 MSOA boundaries.Ward and MSOA level data can be downloaded from the National Obesity Observatory website and is also shown in the GLA ward profiles.Relevant links: http://www.hscic.gov.uk/ncmphttp://www.hscic.gov.uk/searchcatalogue?productid=13778&topics=1%2fPublic+health%2fLifestyle&pubdate=DEC%2c2013&sort=Relevance&s

Map of Community Views

Image: Snapshot from the Map of Community Views To understand different communities’ experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic, Deputy Mayor for Social Integration, Social Mobility and Community Engagement, Dr Debbie Weekes-Bernard and the GLA Community Engagement Team convened a series of virtual roundtable conversations and community meetings with groups and community leaders between April and September 2020. These conversations covered a range of complex issues. We heard about the overexposure of Black and Asian Minority Ethnic communities to the pandemic because they often work in frontline roles; the upsurge in hate crime against East and South East Asian Londoners; heightened need for domestic abuse support and better community language translations including specific dialects; the deep impact the virus has had on specific groups such as Somali, Bengali and Pakistani Londoners, particularly because of challenges with housing arrangements; the challenges for families around education for many groups including Gypsy, Roma, Traveller communities; concerns for LGBT+, Younger and Older Londoners; the impact of the Black Lives Matter movement; faith communities having to adapt their services and facing loss of income as a result, and much more. It was clear throughout that grassroots Faith and Community groups have played a crucial role meeting essential needs. The map of community views does not name specific groups but captures themes that can be addressed at policy level in close partnership with those affected, by recognising the strength of London’s community sector. 21 Roundtables and Community Meetings 250 Civil society and community groups reached

Planning permissions on the London Development Database (LDD)

The London Development Database (LDD) has been replaced by the Planning London Datahub (PLD) and the data on this page is no longer being updated.The LDD recorded significant planning permissions in London.The data was entered by London's planning authorities, and checked by the GLA to ensure consistency across London. The LDD recorded any planning consent that permits one or more of the following: any new build residential units any loss or gain of residential units through change of use or conversion of existing dwellings creation of seven or more new bedrooms for use as either a hotel, a hostel, student housing or for residential care through new build or change of use 1,000m2 or more of floor space changing from one use class to another or created through new build or extension for any other use the loss or gain or change of use of open space. The spreadsheet LDD - Planning permissions includes details of all permissions either currently recorded as live (not started or under construction), completed since 01/04/2006 or permitted since 01/04/2006 and subsequently superseded or lapsed. LDD - Non-residential floorspace provides additional details of the non-residential floor space for those permissions with a non-residential component and LDD - non-residential bedrooms provides additional details of the non-C3 bedrooms over the same time period.

Wider impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and recovery of population health outcomes for London

These documents were produced through a collaboration between GLA, PHE London and Association of Directors of Public Health London.The wider impacts slide set pulls together a series of rapid evidence reviews and consultation conversations with key London stakeholders. The evidence reviews and stakeholder consultations were undertaken to explore the wider impacts of the pandemic on Londoners and the considerations for recovery within the context of improving population health outcomes.The information presented in the wider impact slides represents the emerging evidence available at the time of conducting the work (May-August 2020). The resource is not routinely updated and therefore further evidence reviews to identify more recent research and evidence should be considered alongside this resource.It is useful to look at this in conjunction with the ‘People and places in London most vulnerable to COVID-19 and its social and economic consequences’ report commissioned as part of this work programme and produced by the New Policy Institute.Additional work was also undertaken on the housing issues and priorities during COVID. A short report and examples of good practice are provided here.These reports are intended as a resource to support stakeholders in planning during the transition and recovery phase. However, they are also relevant to policy and decision-making as part of the ongoing response.The GLA have also commissioned the University of Manchester to undertake a rapid evidence review on inequalities in relation to COVID-19 and their effects on London.

Domestic Energy Efficiency Ratings, Borough

Number of Domestic Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) lodged on the Register, in each Local Authority, by Energy Efficiency Rating (fuel cost) or Environmental Impact Rating (Carbon Dioxide emissions), in each Year/Quarter. Floor area data is broken down by property type. Type of property is broken down into Bungalow, House, Flat, or Maisonette.These tables show data from certificates lodged on the Energy Performance of Buildings (EPB) Registers since 2008, including average energy efficiency ratings, energy use, carbon dioxide emissions, fuel costs, average floor area sizes and numbers of certificates recorded.Data lodged on the EPB Registers record information about the certificates issued for buildings which have been newly constructed, sold or let since 2008. Data lodged on the EPB Registers will also include buildings for which multiple EPCs have been issued.On 1 April 2012, the first set of Scheme Operating Requirements came into effect for Domestic Energy Assessors, which set new rules for the operation of Accreditation Schemes. One new requirement was to introduce quality assurance audit of EPCs. The result was a demonstrable improvement in the quality of data lodged on the EPB Registers from mid-2012 onwards. Users are asked to consider this when interpreting figures prior to that period. In May 2009, additional validation checks were introduced into the register lodgement process to identify prescribed data quality issues. Before this period, statistics for domestic buildings may include anomalies to CO2 emission rates. In addition, statistics for domestic and non-domestic buildings and for DECs may include anomalies which affect total floor area figures.View some of the floor area data as cartograms (maps) for London here.More information can be found on the DCLG website.

Tree Canopy Cover Prioritisation Tool

This is a new tool to help decision-makers choose which locations within London might be prioritised for tree planting. This tool presents the Curio Canopy – London Tree Canopy Cover map at ward scale[1], alongside several other environmental and social datasets.There are multiple factors that influence both the existing variation in tree canopy cover across the capital, and the potential for increasing canopy cover, including population density, land use, differences in natural vegetation and existing habitats, soil type and topography. This tool is not a prescriptive guide to where canopy cover should be increased. It is designed as a tool to help decision-makers including local authorities, NGOs and funders, as well as Londoners, to identify where canopy cover is low, and where further consideration might be given to increasing canopy cover, based on a suite of different factors. [1] Wards correct as of March 2019. The City of London is included as a single ward.

Apprenticeships Starts and Completions, Region and Local Authority

Table shows numbers and index change since 2005/06 of apprenticeship starts and completions.Apprenticeships are paid jobs that incorporate on- and off-the-job training leading to nationally recognised qualifications. As an employee, Apprentices earn as they learn and gain practical skills in the workplace.An Apprenticeship framework contains the following separately certified elements. • A knowledge-based element (the theoretical knowledge underpinning a job in a certain occupation and industry, typically certified via a Technical Certificate). • A competence-based element (the ability to discharge the functions of a certain occupation, typically certified via work-based assessed national vocational qualifications - NVQs). • Transferable skills (literacy and numeracy) - key skills / functional skills. • A module on employment rights and responsibilities.This table shows provisional estimates for 2010/11. It is not possible to directly compare provisional 2010/11 estimates with figures for previous years.Volumes are rounded to the nearest ten except for England Total and Grand Total which are rounded to the nearest hundred.Unlike participation figures, figures for 2008/09 onwards are comparable with earlier years as demand led funding rules are not applied to starts.Full-year numbers are a count of the number of starts at any point during the year. Learners starting more than one framework will appear more than once.Programme-Led Apprenticeships recorded in WBL ILR returns are included in the figures.Government Office Region and Local Authority are based upon the home postcode of the learner.These figures are based on the geographic boundaries of local authorities as of May 2010. Figures for 2010/11 are based on postcode to geographic area assignments in the National Statistics Postcode Lookup. Figures for earlier years are based on the Office for National Statistics Postcode Directory. Figures for 2003/04 to 2008/09 based on earlier geographic boundaries are available in the SFR Archive, but these cannot be directly compared with new figures due to boundary changes.The years given refer to academic years starting from August.Download the data from The Skills Funding Agency.

Tourism estimates for London in 2019 and forecasts for 2020

London’s Tourism Direct GVA (TDGVA) in 2019 is estimated by taking London’s share of the latest ONS regional TDGVA publication (2013) and multiplying it with the latest TDGVA estimate (2017) for the UK. The resulting figure is then multiplied with a ratio of London spend data from VisitBritain’s International Passenger Surveys from 2019 and 2017. This approach assumes 1) that London’s share of UK TDGVA has remained constant from 2013 to 2017 and 2) a constant relation between spend and GVA from 2017 to 2019. The annual VisitBritain forecast for the volume and value of inbound tourism to the UK is issued in December each year. They have however updated this to reflect the impact of COVID-19 on inbound tourism to the UK, as well as an estimate of impact on domestic tourism within England. These were used to estimate London’s tourism spend for 2020. More details on the inbound tourism forecast for 2020 to the UK and domestic tourism with in England for 2020 can be found at Visit Britain.
