London Leading: Case Studies in climate resilience leadershipÂ
Resilient & Green’s London Leading report showcases how boroughs are making climate adaptation a priority for their council.

Supporting each of these recommendations are twelve case studies with examples from London boroughs on how they are embedding resilience, embracing collaboration, using data and information, and emboldening their leaders at all levels. Please see below a recording link for their launch event which took place on 24th March 2025. Â
