Both @london.gov.uk and I have a serious plan to make London’s waterways safe for people and nature while keeping bills down.

Today’s move by the UK Government to create a tough single regulator is a big step forward and will help us get there faster.

It was a huge honour to attend the African Achievers Awards in London and celebrate the remarkable contributions of the African diaspora to our city.

The timing felt especially meaningful, coinciding with Sadiq Khan’s historic trip as the first Mayor of London to lead a trade mission to Africa.

Climate Live is a brilliant youth-led charity that engages young people where they are.

It was great to join the Climate Live stage at Wireless Festival to share how we plan to put young Londoners’ voices at the heart of our mission for a fairer, greener city ✊🏼✊🏾

Flash floods can be devastating - damaging homes, disrupting lives, and impacting some of our most vulnerable communities the hardest.

Great to join BBC Politics London to discuss the action the Mayor and I are taking from City Hall to protect Londoners. @ldn-environment.bsky.social

Yesterday we launched the delivery plan for Warmer Homes London, a new Mayor of @london.gov.uk/London Councils partnership that’ll upgrade 1000s of homes.

Great to hear from @metecoban92.bsky.social & @graciemaew.bsky.social about how it will make homes greener, healthier & more affordable to heat.

Spoke to BBC News about how City Hall is stepping up to prepare London for future heatwaves:

💦 More public water fountains
🌳 Extra street trees for shade
🏡 Making homes cooler

A fabulous morning at the London Climate Action Week youth summit, hosted by @metecoban92.bsky.social, @earthminutes.bsky.social and @zslofficial.bsky.social.

Inspiring evening & powerful voices on climate justice - from Caterina @c40cities.bsky.social on city leadership,
@kuminaidoo.bsky.social on the Fossil Fuel NP Treaty,

Three people are seated at a table, likely at a conference or meeting. The person on the left, a man, is wearing a dark gray suit and light blue tie. He is looking down, and seemingly engaged in the proceedings. He is holding a coffee cup and saucer in his hands. The person in the middle, another man, is wearing a dark suit, and is speaking. His hands are gesturing. The person on the right, a woman, is wearing a reddish-pink, patterned jacket over what appears to be a light-colored top. She is smiling and holding her hands together in front of her face. There are microphones on the table in front of each person and a light-colored tablet is present in front of the woman. The room appears to be a conference hall or similar meeting space with a light brownish-beige wall backdrop. Blurred figures of other attendees are visible in the background.

What will it take to unlock green investment for cities?

Deputy Mayor of London @metecoban92.bsky.social and @unsdsn.org brought together mayors and investors to explore solutions for driving sustainable investment in climate action at the scale and speed required to reach net zero.

Ahead of London Climate Action Week, I joined the brilliant community-led climate festival at Burgess Park.

Big thanks to all the incredible community groups working to make London the greenest city in the world @ldn-environment.bsky.social

Brilliant to see London boroughs leading the way on climate action nationally.

8 of the top 10 ranked councils are London boroughs — a credit to the leadership of our councils and their partnership with us at City Hall in driving bold action for our city. t.co/TErbjmkHSm

Fantastic to celebrate #CleanAirDay2025 yesterday with my friend and inspiring campaigner Rosamund Adoo-Kissi-Debrah, the fantastic Clean Air Day UK team, @metecoban92.bsky.social and colleagues.

Clean air is a top issue for my constituents in Putney, particularly on our High Street.

Today is #CleanAirDay!

This morning, @metecoban92.bsky.social and I met with the City of London Youth Member of Parliament Zahra.

Zahra has been campaigning for cleaner air since she was elected.

By cleaning up our air, we can all benefit from lasting health improvements.

This #CleanAirDay, we joined @globalactionplan.bsky.social and fellow members of @healthyairuk.bsky.social on a walk to Parliament, to call for more ambitious air quality targets.

London Deputy Mayor @metecoban92.bsky.social joined the walk to highlight the health crisis of #AirPollution.

It’s #CleanAirDay and I joined healthcare professionals and campaigners walking from Great Ormond Street to Parliament Square.

Clean air is a matter of social justice — and we’re committed to meeting WHO guidelines to protect Londoners’ health.

@ldn-environment.bsky.social

Last week @metecoban92.bsky.social spoke at @sxsw.com SW to discuss how important London’s communities are in helping London adapt to climate change. The Mayor, @london.gov.uk, has already supported 194 community energy projects, with a plan to help fund hundreds more.

London’s rivers shape our city—but right now they’re in poor health.

@metecoban92.bsky.social is right: we need action. Cleaning up our rivers is a key priority, so they can be restored for all Londoners to enjoy.

Today @metecoban92.bsky.social spoke at BusinessLDN 's Future London conference to discuss how London can prepare and adapt to the risks of climate change and how businesses can take action.

Power in our communities Read the new report from Co-operative Party and LCEF on building consensus for climate action through community energy.

Today Deputy Mayor @metecoban92.bsky.social spoke at SXSW Earthshot panel to discuss how the Earthshot Prize has benefitted some of London's cleantech start-ups in tackling environmental challenges through innovation.

Last week @metecoban92.bsky.social joined @tomcopley.bsky.social to see London’s future zero carbon homes in Epping & Waltham Forest. Residents will pay zero energy bills for 5 years thanks to super-efficient buildings powered by onsite solar - great for Londoners and the climate!

Yesterday, Deputy Mayor @metecoban92.bsky.social spoke at the nature focused Growth Summit about how London can grow greener and fairer infrastructure — including the Mayor's bold plan to clean up London's rivers and waterways. 🌊🏙️
