Charlie Rainsford, assistant director of policy and external affairs at CLF, said: “It is vital that we make central London more climate resilient.
“However, the responsibility for action currently falls on local authorities, without any sustainable funding or a common framework.
“We are calling for long-term, consistent and devolved funding for adaptation projects and embedding adaptation in planning policy.”
A spokesperson for the mayor of London said: “Last week, the mayor launched Heat Ready London, 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.”
