LETI has published many free to access documents, from our review of the draft London Plan to the Zero Operational Carbon 1-pager and more recently the Climate Emergency Design Guide and the Embodied Carbon Primer. The impact of LETI is very real, very positive and has created real momentum which we are keen to maintain.

​

Until now LETI has been managed purely by volunteers, giving their time both in working hours, but mostly in their own time. We have had no formal funding, organisation sponsorship or income from paid membership (aside from events, where event costs are covered by event sponsors). It is important to acknowledge that some organisations have given significant amount of ‘time and advice in kind’ over the last 3 years, notably Elementa, Levitt Bernstein and Etude. LETI was started using funding from Elementa’s impact fund and over the last 3 years Elementa have carried out much of the administration and co-ordination allowing space for LETI to grow and evolve and we are very grateful for this.

​

We have now reached the next phase of our evolution, and want to broaden our impact. This is a call to the wider industry and indeed to anyone who is passionate about creating a zero carbon world. For us to evolve and have greater impact we need to increase our support network and funding.

​

Our key supporters have been fundamental in creating this platform but we all wish it to grow. We think that LETI could have even greater impact with a defined budget focusing on knowledge dissemination and consistent dedicated resource and planning. As it is fundamental we remain independent, we think that crowdfunding is the best approach as it enables both organisations and individuals to contribute.
