Overview
As the impacts of climate change continue to threaten coastal cities, the existing barrier is no longer sufficient to protect millions of people from rising sea levels and storm surges. By investing in a new barrier, you can be a part of the solution to this global problem while creating a sustainable green energy source for London and the Region. This investment will not only protect lives and livelihoods but also provide a lasting legacy for future generations to come.

ESG credentials
The Thames Estuary 2100 Plan aims to do more than just manage flood risk. This includes aspirations such as creating better access for communities to the river, creating habitats, increasing community resilience to the climate emergency, reducing carbon in all forms, and enhancing the river’s social, economic, and commercial benefits.

Invest in building a safer, greener, and more resilient future for London, the Thames Estuary Region and the world.
