The London Climate Resilience Review warns that London must prepare for more frequent and extreme weather events due to climate change. The report calls for urgent action to address the city's vulnerability to floods and heatwaves, highlighting the need for investment in climate resilience measures. Last year's heatwave saw a 50% increase in water consumption, low reservoir levels, and wildfires that pushed the fire brigade to its limits. The government has welcomed the review and acknowledged the urgent need for action, with the report's chairwoman emphasizing that preparing London for climate change is "non-negotiable".
