🗒️ Reports, briefs and resources releasedTackling Heat Risk in London: Turning Insight into Action – MACC Hub Following the LCRP / MACC Hub forum held on 27th February 2026, the MACC Hub has published a post‑event reflection highlighting both progress and persistent gaps in London’s approach to heat risk. Whilst there is strong evidence, data and expert knowledge, participants agreed that clearer governance, dedicated structures and sustained resourcing are still needed to translate insight into action at the scale required to protect Londoners from increasing heat risks. Cooling Fiveways: Heat Risk Research Project | Lambeth Climate Partnership Case Study: Adaptation and Preparing for Hotter Summer: Insights from Lambeth residents Hotter Summers: Insights from Lambeth residents London Borough of Lambeth has published the Cooling Fiveways case study, examining how extreme heat is affecting communities in and around Loughborough Junction. The research highlights that social infrastructure is vital climate infrastructure, with community organisations and trusted local networks playing a key role in protecting residents during heatwaves. Findings show that adaptation cannot rely on individual behaviour alone and long-term resilience requires coordinated action across sectors. Alongside the study, Lambeth has released a narrative report capturing residents’ lived experiences and insights. The Grantham Research Institution on Climate Change and the Environment have announced a new National Heat Risk Commission to strengthen the UK’s response to rising temperatures. The Commission will bring together experts from across sectors to investigate how to improve efforts in tackling the impacts of high temperatures across the UK. The Commission will also offer recommendations about how governments can reduce the threat of rising temperatures on lives and livelihoods.
