Summary
London’s mayor Sadiq Khan admits the city won’t hit its net-zero target by 2030, blaming lack of control over the fossil-fuel-heavy energy grid. Despite progress on electric buses and low-emission zones, fragmented funding and national-level infrastructure limits are holding back climate action. Khan calls for devolved energy powers and integrated funding to enable coordinated efforts, stressing that public sector buying power alone won’t cut it without grid reform and building retrofits — a stark reminder of how local ambition clashes with national constraints.
