Climate Risk Map

The Mayor has worked with Bloomberg Associates to analyse exposure and vulnerability to climate change across Greater London. They will help the Mayor and other London-based organisations to target resources to support communities at highest risk of the impacts of climate change.

'Climate vulnerability' relates to people’s exposure to climate change impacts like flooding or heatwaves, but also to personal and social factors that affect their ability to cope with and respond to extreme events. High climate risk coincides with areas of income and health inequalities. This city-wide map overlays key metrics to identify areas within London that are most exposed to climate impacts with high concentrations of vulnerable populations.

The Mayor is addressing these climate risks and inequalities through the work of the London Recovery Board, which includes projects and programmes to address climate risks and ensure a green recovery from the pandemic. Ambitious policies in the London Environment Strategy and recently published new London Plan are also addressing London’s climate risks.
