Mayor Sadiq Khan has acknowledged that London is unlikely to reach its net zero carbon goal by 2030. While agencies under the Greater London Authority, such as Transport for London, remain on track, the broader city target is hindered by a lack of direct control over the national energy grid. Khan is calling for greater devolution of energy policy and funding to create a more integrated approach to decarbonization. Key challenges cited include the continued reliance of the power grid on fossil fuels and the urgent need for large scale building retrofits across the capital.
