When I first stood to be Mayor, I vowed to transform London into one of the greenest cities on the planet. I’m hugely proud of how far we’ve come, but the truth is, I never used to be particularly ‘green’.
Back when I worked for a law firm, I used to drive my gas-guzzling 4x4 to our central London office. As an MP, I voted for a new third runway at Heathrow.
It’s fair to say that I’ve been on a journey when it comes to the importance of tackling air pollution and the climate crisis. The story behind that transition is the basis of my first and newly released book, Breathe: Tackling the Climate Emergency.
