Updates from the Mayor of London’s Environment and Energy team. Helping London to be greener, cleaner, and make better use of waste, energy & water.

[LDNMayor Environment @LDN_environment]

This week @MayorofLondon and Deputy Mayor @metecoban92 are taking London's success to COP31 and learning from cities around the globe

[LDNMayor Environment @LDN_environment]

Climate action is about making a real difference to Londoners lives.

Cleaner air. Greener neighbourhoods. Better health. Lower bills.

This is how we're building a greener, fairer city for generations to come.

[Mete Coban @metecoban92]

Great to be at the #COP31 World Leaders Summit with @SadiqKhan, representing London and @c40cities.

Cities are on the frontline of the climate crisis, but we’re also leading the way with solutions that deliver cleaner air, lower bills and a greener future for all.

[LDNMayor Environment @LDN_environment]

There's one week left for London councils to apply to the Mayor’s Air Quality Fund.

£6m funding is available for projects that tackle air pollution and protect Londoners’ health.

Another BIG promise being delivered by @SadiqKhan.

Reimagining Oxford Street and creating a city where streets are for people 💚

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

I've always believed Oxford Street could be so much more than a road.

Today we begin a new chapter as the nation’s high street goes traffic free, creating a place where people can spend time, enjoy the atmosphere and experience the very best of our city.

[Sadiq Khan @SadiqKhan]

A momentous day for London.

I’m so excited to see our plans to transform Oxford Street becoming a reality.

And this is just the beginning.

[Mete Coban @metecoban92]

Extreme heatwaves have put huge pressure on our emergency services, with @LondonFire receiving 27,800 calls in July alone.

Great to spend time with our firefighters, hearing about the challenges they face and their ideas for adapting London to a hotter future 🚒

[LDNMayor Environment @LDN_environment]

Protecting a rare wildflower🌱

Supporting pollinators🐝

Boosting biodiversity🦋

This is how @MayorofLondon’s Green Roots Fund is helping nature thrive across the city.

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

Clean air shouldn’t be a privilege.

In London, we’ve seen how bold action on air quality can make a huge difference.

⬇️ Harmful roadside pollution down by 27%
⬇️ 40% fall in estimated deaths linked to toxic air

That’s real progress. But everyone, no matter their background or where they live, deserves cleaner air.

✅ More local ownership
✅ More clean energy
✅ More investment in our communities

Great to host London's first ever Community Energy Summit with @CommEnergyLDN

[Mete Coban @metecoban92]

Community energy is about changing who owns power, giving communities a direct stake in our clean energy future.

Great to host London’s first ever Community Energy Summit with @CommEnergyLDN today ✊🏼✊🏾

Congratulations to ReStage on their @EarthshotPrize nomination this #CircularEconomyWeek

ReStage are helping London to lead the way in building a circular economy that creates good jobs, supports local businesses, cuts waste and puts money back in people's pockets

[Mayor of London's Culture team @LDN_Culture]

The ReStage Script was launched today at the @NationalTheatre!

A plan to keep sets, scenery, props, costumes and materials in circulation for longer, reducing waste & strengthening supply chains♻️

Potentially saving £955 million across film & theatre sectors.📽️🎭✨

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

Some very good news for your Friday:

15 critically endangered frogs have hatched at London Zoo for the first time in captivity. A hopeful milestone for a critically endangered species and a reminder of what conservation can achieve.

A tiny leap for frogs, a giant leap for conservation.

[Mete Coban @metecoban92]

Everyone deserves access to nature, and to feel they belong there.

This weekend, I teamed up with Flock Together for a walk through Wanstead Park, bringing over 200 people together to connect with nature and each other.

[LDNMayor Environment @LDN_environment]

Justin Beaver? Hailey Beaver?

London’s baby beavers need some names

If you’re a young Londoner aged 4-18 you can submit your ideas here by 7 December https://t.co/FTpQ2ZpQCf

[Mete Coban @metecoban92]

Cleaner air ✅
Expanding community energy ✅
Cleaning our rivers ✅

Good to update the Environment Committee today on how @SadiqKhan and I are delivering for London.

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

Cleaner rivers are vital for a greener, healthier London. With sewage entering the Thames down by 86% in its first year of full operation, the Tideway super sewer is delivering real results.

My focus now is on improving waterways across the capital so every community can benefit.

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

A cleaner, greener future is possible.

[Mete Coban @metecoban92]

What would you name London’s cutest new residents? 🦫

The @MayorofLondon, @CitizenZoo and @ealingbeavers are calling on young Londoners to help name two baby beavers at Paradise Fields.

➡️ Get creative and submit your names by 7 December https://t.co/j0jLHuqGBW

[Mete Coban @metecoban92]

Great to see the Tideway Tunnel is already helping to dramatically reduce sewage pollution in the Thames.

But there’s still more work to do. The Mayor and I are committed to cleaning up all of London's rivers, restoring nature and improving access so that everyone can enjoy them
