Emma Howard Boyd On The London Climate Resilience Review

London has sustained a barrage of climate shocks in recent years – from devastating heat waves to flash flooding and a string of "rain bombs".

The metropolis has to defend itself against these shocks. As the engine of the UK economy, anything that happens to the capital reverberates throughout the country. Hence the London Climate Resilience Review, a first-of-its-kind analysis commissioned by Mayor Sadiq Khan and chaired by today's guest, Emma Howard Boyd CBE.

The Review, published earlier this year, assesses the UK capital's climate resilience and makes over 50 recommendations on preparing the city for worsening climate impacts. Emma puts the Review in context, takes us through some of the top recommendations, and highlights the importance of joined-up governance and the sharing of best practices across cities to building long-lasting resilience.
