Fantastic interview with London dep mayor @metecoban92 setting out how climate action must deliver social justice
Climate justice is social justice. Londonâs green transition must lower bills, clean our air, and reimagine our neighbourhoods. My first six months as Deputy Mayor have been about making it work for every Londoner. Read my @Guardian interview.

Airport expansion just makes meeting urgent climate targets harder. Great to see @SadiqKhan's leadership on this issue.

Following @SadiqKhanâs recent article in the @guardian Mayor @jaumecollboni of Barcelona has penned an excellent piece which also addresses the resurgence of the far right, with a particular focus on Trumpâs re-election campaign.
By prioritising housing rights, sustainability & social welfare, cities like Barcelona are fighting back against the rising tide of the far-right, tech billionaires and disinformation, Mayor @JaumeCollboni tells @eldiarioes.

Brilliant news from President @Lula on appointing Ambassador AndrĂ© CorrĂȘa do Lago to lead COP30 in Brazil. Collaboration remains the most critical tool for addressing climate breakdown and Iâm hopeful that #COP30 can define a new, more successful climate multilateralism.
A COP30, que acontece este ano em BelĂ©m, terĂĄ como presidente AndrĂ© CorrĂȘa do Lago, atual SecretĂĄrio de Clima, Energia e Meio Ambiente do @ItamaratyGovBr, e como diretora executiva (CEO), Ana Toni, que atualmente Ă© SecretĂĄria Nacional de Mudança do Clima do @mmeioambiente. Sejam bem-vindos! Faremos uma COP30 histĂłrica por um futuro mais justo e sustentĂĄvel para o nosso planeta. đž @ricardostuckert

Along with @C40cities, I welcome the news that @BloombergDotOrg will cover funding & reporting obligations to UN Climate Change after Trump's withdrawal from the Paris Agreement. Thank you @MikeBloomberg for always showing the world what real climate leadership looks like.
Federal inaction will not derail climate action and progress. Where Trump is letting the world down, @MikeBloomberg , @BloombergDotOrg and others are stepping up to ensure the US meets its international climate obligations despite Trumpâs withdrawal from the Paris Agreement. đ

Trumpâs decision to abandon the Paris Agreement is a gross dereliction of his duty as a world leader. Despite this act of climate vandalism, American mayors like @MayorGallego @ChicagosMayor will continue to build a green economy & reduce emissions. đ°

The threat behind LAâs wildfires is more than just the flames - itâs also the disinformation spread by those profiting from climate destruction. @iamdavidmiller is right - until we end our reliance on fossil fuels, cities will increasingly face catastrophes like the one that has hit LA.
Since the LA wildfires began 10 days ago, damaging misinformation has also spread across the internet. Read @iamdavidmiller's thoughts on how those profiting from climate destruction are using the events in LA to spread lies and peddle false narratives.

Great to speak with Dr Katherine Maxwell, @GCHUOxford for the @UniofOxfordâs podcast series on sustainable cities. We reflect on COP29, discuss what's next for addressing climate change within cities and look ahead to how mayors can drive global action. Listen here

Congratulations to @MayorofLondon @SadiqKhan on receiving a knighthood in the Kingâs New Yearâs Honours. From championing clean air in London to driving global climate action as Co-Chair of @C40Cities, his visionary leadership inspires cities worldwide. A well-deserved recognition of his impactful work.
Truly humbled to have received a knighthood in the Kingâs New Yearâs Honours. I couldnât have dreamed when growing up on a council estate in south London that I'd one day be Mayor of London. Itâs the honour of my life to serve the city I love.
