Thank you, London. It's the honour of my life to serve the city I love. 🙏🏿
Today is not about making history, it’s about shaping our future.
And I'll work relentlessly to shape a fairer, safer, greener city for every Londoner.
Day one of #COP31 💚
Cities are on the frontlines of the climate crisis – from protecting neighbourhoods from fires and flooding, to cutting emissions and building new sustainable housing.
That's why I'm at COP31: to share London's experiences, hear what’s working in other cities and make the case for city leaders to have a stronger voice in shaping the future.

The climate crisis is already having a devastating impact on our health, our public services and our economy.
We can invest in protecting people and cities today, or pay a far higher price tomorrow.

Schedules may not always align right away, but sooner or later…!
At #COP31 today, London’s Mayor @SadiqKhan formally received his @UNHABITAT Scroll of Honour award for his leadership in advancing affordable and sustainable housing as well as inclusive and climate-resilient urban development in London.
“We hope to work together from now on to spread and to disseminate, to share your learnings and the message that’s coming from London. You are making efforts, you are committed towards providing accessible, affordable housing, sustainable urbanization. So we thank you for your contribution,” UN-Habitat’s Executive Director @AnacludiaRossb1 said at the formal presentation ceremony.
The 2026 awards were originally presented in Muscat in October at the global observance for World Habitat Day, which had been hosted by the Sultanate of Oman.
Launched in 1989, the award recognizes individuals and institutions whose work contributes to adequate housing, sustainable urbanization and better urban life.

We know early warning systems save lives.
Speaking at the World Leaders Summit at #COP31 - at an event convened by the @UN Secretary-General, I highlighted London’s world-leading action on heat and air quality alerts.
As co-chair of @c40cities - I committed to all our member cities – home to almost a billion people - having early warning systems in place by the end of next year.

London and Barbados share strong bonds strengthened by our vibrant Barbadian community in the capital.
Good to meet Prime Minister of Barbados Mia Mottley at #COP31 and discuss how we can work together to tackle the climate emergency and champion climate justice.
It’s not up for debate: extreme heat is already costing London billions.
This summer's heatwaves are estimated to have cost our city £2.5bn in lost productivity.
At COP31, I'm calling for global action to protect lives, jobs and our economy.

Great to be at the #COP31 World Leaders Summit with @SadiqKhan, representing London and @c40cities.
Cities are on the frontline of the climate crisis, but we’re also leading the way with solutions that deliver cleaner air, lower bills and a greener future for all.
As someone who grew up in a council home, I understand the difference good quality social housing can make.
Proud to accept the @UNHABITAT Scroll of Honour here at #COP31 - recognising our work to deliver a record number of affordable homes in London.
I’m determined to build on this progress and work to ensure all Londoners have a safe, secure and affordable place to call home.

Delighted to meet with @LulaOficial here at #COP31.
His re-election was a huge win for progressive politics around the world, and a defeat for those who continue to deny the catastrophic impacts of climate change.
Great to be at #COP31.
This year has been another stark reminder of the devastating impacts of climate change, including the extreme heat experienced in London.
We must go further and faster to tackle the climate emergency. The time for action is now - delay is not an option.
On Armistice Day, we remember and honour all those who have served in our armed forces.
We will never forget the sacrifices you have made for the freedoms we hold dear.
Brick by brick, we’re making progress on the affordable homes Londoners need.
In some of the toughest conditions for housebuilding in years, 21,001 new affordable homes are underway - beating the target set by the government.

🏗️ London has exceeded the Government’s affordable housing starts target for 2021–26, with 21,001 homes started, more than 2,000 above the upper end of the target.
@MayorofLondon now focused on delivering thousands more affordable homes, backed by up to £11.7bn in funding.
