Charlie Rainsford, assistant director of policy and external affairs at CLF, said: “It is vital that we make central London more climate resilient.<\/p>\n
“However, the responsibility for action currently falls on local authorities, without any sustainable funding or a common framework.<\/p>\n
“We are calling for long-term, consistent and devolved funding for adaptation projects and embedding adaptation in planning policy.”<\/p>\n
A spokesperson for the mayor of London said: “Last week, the mayor launched Heat Ready London<\/a>, a long-term vision bringing together partners to help our city adapt to rising temperatures, protect vulnerable Londoners, strengthen critical infrastructure and ensure our communities remain resilient in the decades ahead.”<\/p>\n Listen to the best of BBC Radio London on Sounds<\/a> and follow BBC London on Facebook, external<\/a>, X, external<\/a> and Instagram, external<\/a>.
