London Sustainable Development Commission (LSDC)
The London Sustainable Development Commission was established in 2002 to advise the Mayor of London on making London a 'sustainable world city'.
The Commission works in close partnership with City Hall’s Sustainable Development team on strategy input, research, programme delivery, and bringing sustainable development into the mainstream. Commissioners provide their time on a voluntary basis.
The Mayor has appointed the current chair, Dr Ashok Sinha, and a set of commissioners. He wants them to help London meet the huge environmental, social and economic challenges posed by a growing population. With London set to be home to ten million people by around 2026 and over 11 million by 2050, this is no easy task.
