Plans unveiled to make London carbon-free by 2050

London mayor Sadiq Khan has outlined ambitious proposals to make the capital a zero-carbon city by 2050 through energy efficient buildings, clean transport and increased recycling.

His Environment Strategy also sets the target of ensuring at least half of the city is green by midway of the century, and includes new measures to tackle air pollution and climate change.

“By continuing to invest in our environment and work with boroughs and communities, we can improve the health and wellbeing of everyone living in London,” Khan said.
