Young Londoners are key to tackling the climate crisis. Deputy Mayor @metecoban92.bsky.social met with six members of the @c40cities.bsky.social Youth Hub to listen to their experiences and explore how to better involve young people in driving their city’s climate action

Deputy Mayor @metecoban92.bsky.social joined city leaders from across the Breathe Cities Initiative — calling on cities worldwide to take urgent action against air pollution to protect our health, climate and future.

Great to join celebrations for the 102nd anniversary of Turkiye - recognising the brilliant Turkish businesses, creatives and community leaders contributing so much to our city’s success.

London is leading the way in the circular economy transition, by championing reuse, repair & community-led innovation. The circular economy is saving Londoners money, creating green jobs & building a fairer future. Hear from Deputy Mayor @metecoban92.bsky.social: bit.ly/4oy1mk4

Deputy Mayor @metecoban92.bsky.social visited Colville Primary School to see the Mayor’s Greener Schools Fund in action. Pupils were inspired by Retrofit Action For Tomorrow's workshop on how decarbonising their school is helping make London the greenest city to grow up in bit.ly/4nmTHnN

It was brilliant to join innovators and changemakers at the @blueearthsummit.bsky.social for their biggest gathering yet. At the Summit, I set out City Hall’s vision for a green transition that works for everyone - because it must lift up those who’ve done the least to cause the crisis ✊🏻✊🏾

It all started with a feeling that no one was listening. My Life My Say turned that into the biggest youth voter registration movement in the UK. Buzzing to be back at #NextGenConference with 1,000 young people - the reason we began, the hope that keeps us going ✊🏼✊🏾

Wonderful evening at the @london.gov.uk’s Black History Month reception, bringing together London’s Black creatives, writers, and community leaders.

It was brilliant to join young Londoners at Camden Town Hall today - hearing their ideas, energy and ambition for our city always gives me hope for the future ✊🏼✊🏽

📢 @metecoban92.bsky.social—Deputy Mayor of London: “The climate and nature crisis disproportionately affects those who have done least to cause the crisis in the first place. This is a massive issue of social justice, racial justice and economic justice.” 🐝 #CANBill #LPC25 #Lab25

LTNs, School Streets, CPZ, emission based parking, 20mph, more cycling infrastructure, bus priority together with congestion pricing and ULEZ has massively sped up cleaner air for London. Thank you @london.gov.uk @sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social @metecoban92.bsky.social

Welcome to Oxford Street as you’ve never seen it before. Londoners and visitors, we are ready for you. This Oxford Street is for everyone.

They aren’t just flower beds!!! Fascinating peak beneath the surface of one of London’s new Cycleways - you can see the complex drainage system that ensures bike lanes help protect the capital from heavy rain & the effects of climate change. And don’t they look great when they’re finished? 💚🚲👍

🌞 On the rooftops of Aldgate, @rachelblakemp.bsky.social and @metecoban92.bsky.social show how community energy is powering London’s future. Solar panels on the Middlesex Street estate are proof that when power is put back in the hands of communities, change happens: cleaner, greener, fairer.

Today, @london.gov.uk and Deputy Mayor @metecoban92.bsky.social opened Tideway's new riverside space at Heathwall Quay, where the Tideway Tunnel is stopping pollution in the Thames - a big step forward in our mission to clean London's rivers and open them up for Londoners to enjoy

In my first year as Deputy Mayor, I made it my mission to show up, listen and work with communities in every corner of our city. I’ve visited all 32 boroughs - meeting community organisers, volunteers and Londoners driving real change ✊🏼✊🏾

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. @ldn-environment.bsky.social

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 ✊🏼✊🏾
