London’s far-left Mayor Sadiq Khan has just signed the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) radical “climate pact” to ban meat and dairy consumption, air travel, and private car ownership in the British capital city.
After signing the treaty, London now has until 2030 to enforce the new laws.
The climate change initiative, spearheaded by London Mayor Sadiq Khan, is also moving to ban citizens from purchasing “more than three items of clothing a year” and flying “more than once every three years.”
The initiative suggests that members of the public should begin wearing “a uniform” to reduce the need for new clothing purchases.
Khan has joined the globalist C40 Climate Leadership group which comprises, in its own words, “a network of nearly 100 mayors of the world’s leading cities that are united in action to confront the climate crisis”, and has commissioned a report making demands for cities to slash their greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.
Khan, who chairs the C40 group, has received backlash from Londoners following this month’s Ulez (ultra-low emissions zone) expansion.
Though the C40 Cities initiative, under the guise of the Clean Air Wins campaign, has shared videos in favor of Ulez, the Wall Street Journal this week highlighted the less highly-publicized proposals in its report, authored in collaboration with the University of Leeds, such as “no meat, no dairy, and no private vehicles”.
Also included in the fine print is information regarding restrictions on air travel, which the WSJ describes as a type of “climate lockdown”.
The report prescribes various “consumption interventions”, without outlining how these measures would be implemented.
Reducing meat consumption to zero by 2030 is a listed target, but there is little in the way of detail about how this intervention can be achieved unless by pricing it out of the reach of ordinary people or authoritarian forces.
C40 Cities employs 433 people worldwide, according to LinkedIn, with headquarters in London, New York, and Rio De Janeiro.
Its website, however, provides few concrete examples of what C40 is actually doing.
Real-life activities are buried under idealistic calls for “action now” and essays detailing milestones achieved by member cities.
Yet money is pouring into C40.
The UK arm of the company alone received £11m in grants and other funding in 2022.
More than £7m of that money was spent on its own staff.
In November 2021, the UK Government invested £27 million in C40’s Urban Climate Action Plan (UCAP).
While the initiative’s site claims that from 2018 to 2021 it “provided technical assistance and resources to 35 cities to develop climate action plans that effectively reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance climate resilience,” the nature of this assistance and resources is not expanded upon.
The cities involved in UCAP seem equally at a loss. A less-than-clear summary of Accra’s involvement in UCAP can be found on the Accra Metropolitan Assembly website: “The delivery of the program has included technical assistance for regional and local convenings, the development of knowledge products and a policy framework, capacity building, and informal sector integration advocacy campaigns.”
C40’s financial backers include extremely influential organizations and corporations, including Google, the Clinton Foundation, and the World Bank, as well as the businessman and “philanthropist” George Soros.
This support network of ideologically aligned leaders gives the C40 group serious heft, even if its activities aren’t widely known among the broader public.
There is an acknowledgment of this undeniable influence in the report, which states that “the network of C40 Cities can use their global spending power to speed up a transition to low-carbon production,” making use of “immediate and ambitious action”.
This action won’t just be top-down, however: for the C40 initiative, “it is critical that large-scale behavioral changes occur as soon as possible.”
ban meat and dairy consumption, air travel, and private car ownership in the British capital city. But do not ban private jets or multi million dollar yachts?
Go woke go broke
Stupid idiots
should be a great joke to see London turn into an even larger, deeper shit hole
These are the cities just in in North America that have signed on to this insanity direct from the C40 dot org website: There are almost 100 major cities worldwide whose mayors have signed away the livelihoods and lives of their inhabitants.
Austin, United States

The major problem is the bunch of idiots who elected these mayors as well as the people who abstained to vote.
I wouldn’t trust this rat faced commie to run a bath.
