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.

New solar panels are cutting carbon emissions & reducing energy bills at Drayton Park School - saving them over £7k a year, which is money that can go back in to education.

Deputy Mayor @metecoban92 met parents, students & teachers at this Greener School in @IslingtonBC

We've just seen a new all-time May record of 35.1C in London.

Dealing with extreme heat is no longer a future threat–it's a growing reality for our city.

That's why we'll shortly be announcing our new plan on how to keep Londoners safe & our city running, as temperatures rise.

More heatwaves likely as warmer-than-normal summer forecast https://t.co/qE74zwiuiE

Great to join @SXSWLondon to discuss how @SadiqKhan is showing that climate action and affordability can go hand in hand.

By reducing our reliance on fossil fuels, we’re improving air quality, boosting energy security and cutting bills for Londoners.

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

We know children’s lungs don’t develop as well when they grow up surrounded by air pollution: that’s why I had to act.

London’s children are breathing cleaner air thanks to our bold policies that have brought down NO2 pollution to legal levels.

As the amber heat health alert continues, I’m urging Londoners to follow UKHSA advice.

Stay safe in the heat and look out for those who may be more vulnerable 👇🏽

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

We built these water refill points for days like today...

London now has over 4,000 free water refill points across the capital. Find your closest here:

Extreme heat is becoming a growing reality for Londoners.

Great to join @wellcometrust to speak about how City Hall is stepping up to prepare London for future heatwaves – including our upcoming London Heat Plan.

We're protecting London from the climate crisis from the ground up.

Alongside wider investment in green spaces across the capital, City Hall is funding up to 5,000 additional climate-resilient trees for the areas that need them most.

Not everyone grows up with access to affordable places to swim.

That’s why I’m excited that soon the Mayor of London @SadiqKhan will be announcing our new plan to clean up London’s rivers and create more swimmable sites across our city 🏊🏻‍♂️

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

Name a better engineer than a London beaver. We’ll wait. 🦫

These incredible creatures were reintroduced to the city and have already stepped up to stop flooding at a Tube station and restore local habitats. Nature is healing (and civil engineering).
