The Environment and Energy Unit requested an increase in staffing to form a new Green Finance team across the Unit (four posts) and within London Treasury (five posts).

As of November, one role, Head of Impact Investment and Analysis with London Treasury, has been recruited via secondment. The other four roles (2 carbon specialist and 2 finance specialists) are currently being recruited with two candidates starting in December 2022.

Of the four agreed positions within the Environment and Energy team, three have been filled with Interim staff during October and November. Recruitment is currently taking place for permanent candidates and we hope to have all positions permanently in place early 2023.
