Green Schools Summit to be part of London's Climate Action Week

The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has announced London’s first Climate Action week, which will include a Green Schools Summit.

The week will take place from 1-8 July 2019 and the summit will bring together 200 London school children with academics, climate scientists and politicians to discuss the climate crisis.

The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said: “I’m proud to introduce London’s first Climate Action Week bringing together people of all ages with business, cultural and political leaders to highlight our climate crisis and discuss solutions to it.  I’m doing everything in my power to address the climate emergency we are facing and help London achieve our zero carbon goals rapidly. London is already leading the way in green finance and innovation and I’ve ensured London was one of the first global cities to publish a 1.5 degree compatible plan and put us on a pathway to zero carbon, but I want much more to happen, much faster. I hope our Climate Action Week will help lobby Government to step up and take real action on the climate crisis."
