Description

The London climate resilience review takes stock of London’s preparations for climate impacts and makes recommendations to adapt the city. The report considers several climate hazards, including among others heat, droughts and floods. It focusses on seven key sectors:

  • People and Communities;
  • Health Services;
  • Emergency Services;
  • Infrastructure;
  • Built Environment;
  • Natural Environment;
  • Economy

The report highlights good examples of London’s immediate actions and strategies, but also the existing barriers to become more climate resilient. It concludes with 50 recommendations to improve the city’s climate resilience and nature recovery.
