Organised by Southbank Centre

In a discussion on politics, life, and the future of our city and planet, Sadiq Khan celebrates the publication of his uplifting new book, Breathe.

The first book from the Mayor of London, Breathe offers actions for tackling the climate crisis.
For many years, Khan wasn’t fully aware of the dangers posed by air pollution, nor its connection with climate change.
Then, aged 43, he was unexpectedly diagnosed with adult-onset asthma – brought on by the polluted London air he had been breathing for decades.
Scandalised, Khan underwent a political transformation that would see him become one of the most prominent global politicians fighting (and winning) elections on green issues.
Since becoming Mayor of London in 2016, he has declared a climate emergency, introduced the world’s first Ultra-Low
Emission Zone and turned London into the first ever ‘National Park City’.
But there is still so much more to do.
In a rich discussion, Khan uses his story to identify how environmental action gets blown off course, and reveals how to get it back on track.
Join Khan for this memorable evening and hear him demonstrate how anyone – whether voter, activist or politician – can win the argument on climate. It will help create a world where we can all breathe again.
Presented in association with Penguin
