Abstract Bristol’s institutional green transition was set in motion by progressive planning policies in the late 1990s that built upon a strong history of environmental activism. Though lauded for achievements such as its robust cycling infrastructure, having the lowest carbon footprint of any British city and its over 400 parks and local nature reserves, Bristol has been unable to ensure that all Bristolians have access to these benefits. New levels of austerity are tasking communities and the city council with discovering new paths and partnerships in their fight to build a green city that is also just, an assignment which continues to leave the most vulnerable behind.
