The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has appointed ten new commissioners, including E3G's own Nick Mabey, to the London Sustainable Development Commission (LSDC) following a formal recruitment process.
The new commissioners will serve alongside the newly appointed Chair, Dr Ashok Sinha, and existing commissioners, to help the city meet the challenges of a rapidly growing population, rising inequality and mitigating climate change.

The Commission will strive to ensure sustainability is at the core of policies and strategies impacting London and will help make sustainability a meaningful concept for Londoners.
