The transport sector is now responsible for over 30% of all UK emissions, not including those it creates in manufacturing, fuel supply and land use change.
Our next Prime Minister will need to get a grip, and quickly, on transport emissions.

THIS is what climate change looks like.
Short violent storms dumping huge amounts of water in minutes are exactly what a warming atmosphere is expected to produce and it does not take long for places that have never flooded before to be overwhelmed.

Please be aware of the risk of wildfires. Don't drop litter as this can cause dry grass to ignite. And despite the heat, do not jump into open water. It can be extremely dangerous. Read the office from @londonfire and stay safe.
As London faces a period of extreme heat, a warning of an elevated risk of wildfires is currently in place.
We're urging caution from the public to help prevent wildfires as well as staying safe around the water.

Estimated annual deaths associated with air pollution in London reduced by around 40% between 2019 and 2024.
Real change is possible.

Life-saving.” Below, a wide colour photo shows a tree-lined park with people walking and running along a paved path. Beneath the image, white text reads “New analysis estimates deaths associated with air pollution in London fell by around 40% between 2019 and 2024.” Smaller text underneath reads “Based on a comparison of estimated mortality burden using updated methods and a scenario-based analysis where only air pollution changes.

London's buses are about the last road vehicle left without air conditioning. Buses are air conditioned in Madrid, Paris, Lisbon... all other major European cities.
Nonsensical that TfL's contractors have made it to 2026 without remedying this.
London bus drivers are being pushed to their limits during heatwaves like this 🌡️
While temperatures hit 30°C+, driver cabs can soar above 40°C, creating dangerous working conditions that worsen fatigue, dehydration and stress.
Many drivers report faulty air conditioning, inadequate cooling systems, and pressure to keep buses running despite unsafe temperatures.
Some even avoid drinking water because they don't have reliable access to toilets.
This isn't just a workers' issue. it's a public safety issue. Fatigue caused by extreme heat can reduce concentration, slow reaction times and increase the risk of accidents.
Through our #FightFatigueNow campaign, we're demanding urgent action from Tfl and bus companies.
London's bus drivers deserve safe working conditions. Passengers deserve safe journeys. ✊

On a recent visit our caseworker Ross inspected Broomfield House's remains, a C16 Grade II* listed building lost to arson. Enfield Council proposes consolidating surviving walls and chimneys and refurbishing the C18 water gardens.
