Extreme heat in London is not a distant threat, it’s happening here and now.

Trees are one of London's most effective natural defences against extreme heat, cooling down our streets and public spaces by up to 6 degrees
NEW: @SadiqKhan has announced up to 5,000 additional street trees in areas most at risk from extreme heat.
As London gets hotter, access to shade matters - but not every community has equal access to green space.
That’s why we’re targeting trees where they’re needed most ☀️🌳

🌳 Trees cool our city, clean our air and protect us from heat.
That’s why @MayorofLondon is planting up to 5,000 more climate resilient trees in high heat risk areas.
We’ve planted 640,000 trees. Now we’re working towards 10% more tree canopy by 2050.

1 in 10 properties in London could have a misconnection - pumping sewage straight in to our rivers.
@MayorofLondon’s Clean Rivers and Waterways Plan will clean up London’s rivers. That’s why we’re funding dedicated support to tackle misconnections at their source

London’s rivers should be clean, healthy and places for everyone to enjoy.
That's why @MayorofLondon is funding dedicated support to tackle misconnections at their source, reducing pollution and cleaning up our city's waterways.
