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 ✊🏻✊🏾

London is facing its 4th heatwave this year with temperatures expected to exceed 30°C this week.
We’re installing water fountains, planting street trees to create shade and mapping cool spaces, but we need to plan for the future.

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.
