Mayor Sadiq Khan is traveling to Brazil for the C40 World Mayors Summit while facing criticism for neglecting his responsibilities in London. The 12,000-mile round trip is seen as frivolous, especially with an upcoming UN climate conference in Belem. Critics argue that the mayor's foreign engagements detract from local governance, with a spokesperson accusing him of disrespecting voters and the London Assembly. Despite this criticism, the summit aims to elevate city voices in climate discussions, and Khan is co-chairing the event along with a significant expansion of pollution monitoring in London announced by Bloomberg Philanthropies.
The Net Zero Mayor is jet-setting off again to lecture us about the evils of emissions. Meanwhile, Assembly business here in London will be delayed.
The C40 World Mayors Summit in Rio de Janeiro will be a defining moment for city-led climate leadership and bringing local voices into global negotiations.
