    Given the rise in disinformation and the shift towards destructive far-right ideologies, I’ve decided to step away from X. While my profile will remain visible for now, I will no longer be active here. I’ll continue sharing updates around positive climate action and the work

    Study finds that young people’s anger, fear and powerlessness arise less from the environmental damage itself than the unwillingness of adults to stop it, despite the availability of solutions and overwhelming evidence of the risks. #ClimateCrisis tmsnrt.rs/3A9Pf47

    V proud to be a Londoner today: @MayorofLondon @SadiqKhan leadership means that 4 million Londoners now benefit from policy that has already cut air pollution 50% in central zone. New area = 18x bigger. Big action. Rapid results. This is what climate leadership looks like

    If we didn’t expand the ULEZ, experts say it would have taken 200 years to get London’s air within legal pollution limits. Instead, we’ll do it in six. We’ll only get bold results by taking bold action. @ITVLondon

    #Mumbai has become the first major city in India to adopt a Climate Action Plan. On behalf of @c40cities, I congratulate Maharashtra’s Minister of Tourism & Environment @AUThackeray for his unwavering dedication to build a more sustainable city for all.

    As promised in August 2021, the city now has a decisive plan for climate action. With this strategy in place for collective implementation, we have taken one step closer to safeguarding our future and that of the planet.

    Inspiring to attend #schoolstrike4climate with Oslo mayor @RaymondJohansen, who not only defends young people’s right to miss school to campaign for a future, but went along to listen as well. #cities4climate #fridaysforfuture #Klimastreik #climatestrike

    London’s air is improving faster than anywhere else in UK thanks to ULEZ clean air zone. That’s what we can achieve when we elect a mayor willing to use regulation to the full to protect all our health. Huge kudos ⁦@MayorofLondon⁩ ⁦@SadiqKhan⁩
