Climate Costs Guide – March 2026 | London Climate Ready Partnership London Climate Ready Partnership 

Following the Climate Costs Forum held at City Hall in July 2025, the LCRP have convened a working group of volunteers to create a Climate Costs Guide. The Climate Costs Guide helps to understand how to track and measure the financial aspect of climate risk. The Climate Costs guide offers a practical six step process to: 

  1. Understand how weather and climate change affect your finances  
  1. Estimate how future climate scenarios will impact your future finances  
  1. Identify possible adaptation measures  
  1. Assess and select best value actions  
  1. Track the cost effectiveness of measures  
  1. Monitor, evaluate and learn in order to inform future decision making 

We would like to thank the members of the Climate Costs working group who gave their time to support the development of this guide. The Climate Costs Guide has been produced by the London Climate Ready Partnership with support from Transport for London and Arup. 

London Infrastructure Framework | London City Hall 

The London Infrastructure Framework (LIF) is a collaboration between the Mayor of London and London Councils. This establishes a shared long-term vision for London’s critical economic infrastructure priorities through to 2050. The LIF is split into the following sectors: Transport; Energy; Water, wastewater and flood risk; waste; and digital connectivity. 

 

Local Nature Recovery Strategy | London City Hall 

The Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS) is a new spatial tool for London’s nature, identifying which parts of the city’s ecosystems need the most urgent attention. It was developed with input from London’s boroughs, organisations and communities, providing a clear framework of biodiversity priorities and mapped opportunities for nature recovery. Its purpose is to guide coordinated action, investment and decision‑making to support a healthier, more resilient natural environment across the capital.  

 

London Green Infrastructure Framework | London City Hall 

The London Green Infrastructure Framework (LGIF) is a new interactive map-based tool and strategic evidence base identifying where green infrastructure investment can deliver the greatest benefits across London. As a complementary tool to the Local Nature Recovery Strategy, the LGIF helps planners, boroughs, landowners, and community groups prioritise action and direct funding, including through the Mayor’s Green Roots Fund.
