The Bromley Pageant of Motoring, a classic car show in London, has been canceled due to the Ultra Low Emissions Zone (ULEZ).
The ULEZ expansion in August resulted in the show's venue, Norman Park, falling within the ULEZ area, causing attendees to potentially incur a charge to attend the event.
Sadiq Khan rejects call to send scrapped Ulez cars to Ukraine
Sadiq Khan rejected a call to send scrapped cars from the Ulez scheme to Ukraine, citing a legal threshold that requires Londoners to benefit.
The Ulez scheme, aimed at reducing emissions, has faced criticism and was a factor in Labour's failure to win a by-election.

COP28: Nations urged to take 'great leaps' at UN climate conference in Dubai
The UN climate conference in Dubai puts pressure on nations to take urgent action on global warming and transition away from fossil fuels.
This year's climate negotiations come at a pivotal moment, with emissions still rising and 2023 likely to be the hottest year on record.
The conference will focus on assessing progress in curbing global warming and hearing the ambitions of world leaders to combat climate change.
A Climate Summit Begins With Fossil Fuels, and Frustration, Going Strong
Countries are failing to fulfill their promises to cut emissions and provide financial aid to transition away from fossil fuels.
Despite some progress, countries are still burning fossil fuels and emissions are reaching record highs, leading to disillusionment at the climate summit.

SFCTA seems intent on widening the highway to encourage more driving to San Francisco instead of using Caltrain.
Widening highways does not improve congestion and increases vehicle travel.
British empire's past emissions double UK's climate responsibility'
The UK's historical emissions, taking into account its colonial history, are almost twice as much as previously believed.
Colonial countries such as India, Myanmar, and Nigeria were significant contributors to the additional emissions due to deforestation.
The issue of responsibility for historical emissions is critical in international climate negotiations and the provision of climate finance to developing nations.
Motor emissions could have fallen by over 30% without SUV trend, report says
Emissions from the motor sector could have fallen by more than 30% between 2010 and 2022 if vehicles had stayed the same size.
The trend for SUVs has led to an increase in the average size and weight of cars, reducing the rate of energy intensity reductions.
The report calls for governments to place restrictions on vehicle sizes to reverse the SUV trend.
Oil-and-Gas Companies Account for Only 1% of Clean-Energy Investment Globally, IEA Says
The fossil-fuel industry is not investing enough in decarbonization, spending just 2.5% of their investment on clean energy.
Oil-and-gas companies should allocate about half of their capital expenditures towards clean energy projects by 2030 to meet the Paris climate agreement target.
Tackling methane leaks in oil-and-gas operations is a cost-effective way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
