The London Nature Recovery Strategy is a new tool to support organisations and boroughs across the city to identify which parts of our city’s nature need most attention. Explore the LNRS here: london.gov.uk/programmes-str…

London is becoming wilder every day - with beavers in Ealing, bees buzzing in Bexley and bats back in Barnes💚 We've just launched London’s first ever Local Nature Recovery Strategy to help nature thrive even more across our city. Let’s make London greener, richer & wilder! 🌱

@PhoebeBoswell's new artwork highlights how access to swimming is a matter of social justice London's blue spaces should belong to everyone🌊- that’s why we’re committed to cleaning up our city’s waterways so they’re safe, healthy, swimmable and a source of joy for all Londoners

They said it would take 193 years to clean London’s air. We did it in nine. 💨 London has now met legal limits for nitrogen dioxide air pollution. theguardian.com/environment/20…

The @c40cities Clean Investment Network - led by London - launched a toolkit to help cities across the world shift their pension funds toward green and climate‑positive solutions. 🌍💚 linkedin.com/posts/c40-citi…

London led the way by ending fossil fuel pension investments in 2022. Since then, @LPFA1 has set a £400m target for green investment.

Hotter temperatures are becoming a growing reality in London. That’s why we’re developing a new Heat Risk Plan - alongside retrofitting 12,000 homes, planting more street trees for shade and expanding our cool spaces map to help Londoners stay safe during extreme heat.

London is building a greener future—literally. 🏗️ We’ve officially halved emissions from new buildings, making them twice as efficient and much cheaper for Londoners to run.

With our funding, London’s boroughs have delivered huge changes to make our streets safer, greener, healthier and more enjoyable for pedestrians and cyclists of all ages. This week, we announced a further £95m investment. See what’s been achieved since 2022 ⬇️🧵

Wild London 🦭 You might not expect to see seals in the River Thames, but the river is now home to a few hundred. A reminder of how far the Thames has come — with cleaner water and recovering fish populations bringing wildlife back to the heart of our city @LDN_environment

Great to join @TreesforCities to plant their 2 millionth tree outside the @V_and_A alongside @ChrisGPackham. Urban trees cool our streets, clean our air and are essential to building a fairer, greener London for everyone @LDN_environment 🌳

I really enjoyed visiting @Huntershallps Primary School with Deputy Mayor @MeteCoban92. The Mayor of London has invested £90,000 to install solar panels, saving the school £35,000 a year on energy bills. Thank you to the students we met, they asked fantastic questions! I look forward to returning to see the seeds that we planted grow.

British wildlife is set to appear on the new Bank of England banknotes — and this summer, you can have your say. From beavers in Barking to white storks in Dagenham, we’re turning London into a wildlife haven. What London wildlife would get your vote? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

NEW: I’m delighted to announce that @MayorofLondon is funding a new West London Regional Park with £1.5 million. This will bring nature closer to people’s homes - connecting 585,000 Londoners within a 30-minute walk, including a 13km route linking parks and waterways. 🧵

The LGIF combines data on green infrastructure and social and health equity to help the GLA, boroughs and partners find out what greening is most needed and where for Londoners, nature and climate resilience.

We've launched the London Green Infrastructure Framework, a mapping tool to identify where and how to invest in London's natural spaces and waterways. LGIF evidence helped select the West London Regional Park as a mayoral priority. london.gov.uk/london-green-i…

The West London Regional Park will link fragmented parks and wetlands along the River Brent into a connected landscape for more Londoners to access and enjoy. The funding will restore and improve river habitats and create a new riverside trail. @EalingCouncil @LBofHounslow

Deputy Mayor @metecoban92 attended the launch of the West London Regional Park partnership at Osterley House. The Mayor has pledged £1.5m for this exciting project to open up green and blue space, provide cleaner, healthier waterways and boost biodiversity and climate resilience.

Deputy Mayors @SebDance and @metecoban92 visited @Go_Ahead_London today to celebrate their 1000th zero emission bus. The new bus joins @TfL's 2700-strong zero emission fleet, helping to clean up our toxic air, tackle the climate crisis, and protect the health of Londoners.

The affordability crisis is one of the biggest pressures facing Londoners. That’s why @SadiqKhan set up Warmer Homes London - investing in social housing upgrades, tackling fuel poverty and helping lower energy bills.
