Climate Crossroads
Igniting curiosity to shape a greener future
About the programme
The future of our city – and our world - is all in the air.
Each of us has a part to play in protecting our climate. The direction we choose today will set our course to a greener future for us all.
Our Climate Crossroads programme imagines what the future could look like for London, and with the support of our programme sponsors ABM and Sopra Steria, aims to inspire our visitors to take action that helps us get there together.
Over the next 18 months, we’ll be bringing you a line-up of school holiday family activities, green-themed After Dark events, thought leadership debates for business leaders and policy makers and skills and employability support for young people.
With transport covering 14% of London’s landscape, we’ll be helping you to think differently about how simple changes to the way we travel can make our city a greener place to live, and, inspired by the great engineering ingenuity of London’s past, we’ll be asking what innovations, skills and jobs we need to build a more sustainable future.
Join us on this journey and discover what you can do to help protect our climate.
