London’s Climate Action with Mete Coban and Louis VI - Mind the Gap Podcast S4E1

For London Climate Action Week, guest presenter Louis VI heads to a tube station platform garden for a personal chat with Mete Coban, London's Deputy Mayor for Environment and Energy - the person tasked with steering one of the world's biggest cities, and its transport network, toward net zero. In this episode, they get into the scale of the challenge: how London and TfL plans to power itself, what rewilding actually looks like, and what the climate targets that are often talked about actually mean for the lives of real Londoners. They also discuss a beaver called Justin. Topics covered: * London's path to net zero and what's actually achievable * Solar energy and TfL's evolving energy strategy * Rewilding targets and bringing nature back into the city * What climate leadership looks like at a city-government level Mind the Gap is TfL's podcast exploring the stories, people, decisions, and ideas shaping how London moves.
