Sadiq Khan wins a historic third-term as London mayor

Sadiq Khan’s win with an even bigger majority confirms the clear message from this election: bold climate and environmental action is a vote winner. Anti-green populism has largely backfired at the ballot box.

“Many of the local and mayoral candidates that stood on bold green policy platforms won resounding victories. The people of London, Bristol, Manchester, Liverpool and the North East, all elected mayors and councillors who have committed to boosting public transport, delivering green growth and cutting emissions. As Labour continues its resurgence to power, the gains made in these local elections demonstrate, once again, that the British public overwhelmingly support climate action.”
