Climate resilience & equity: How do we avoid climate change increasing inequality in London

As extreme temperatures impact on health and wellbeing, our event for London Climate Action Week asks how cities can develop equitable climate resilience.

This event is the first in a new programme on climate resilience and equity in London and beyond.

With Londoners likely to face more 40°C days, we will focus on ways to heat and cool buildings and neighbourhoods to ensure our urban environment can cope with the extreme temperatures.

Attendees will hear different perspectives, practical ideas and have a chance to share their own experiences.

Speakers

The event will start off with some brief remarks at 4pm and then move into a discussion for attendees to learn from each other.

As always with a Future of London event there will be plenty of time for networking, and the findings from this session will be published on our website. Our events are welcoming and inclusive.
