I’m determined to consign air pollution to the history books. I want London to be the best place in the world to grow up. That’s why I gathered environment and health leaders with government to build on the progress since my first Clean Air & Health Summit in 2022.

AI can help streamline businesses, transform public services and deliver better treatments in healthcare but it needs investment in infrastructure first. That’s why we’re launching a new AI Growth Zone in South Wales – to provide opportunities for local people and drive growth.
