London mayor Sadiq Khan wants more power and financing for cities so they can deal with and find solutions to climate change. Cities, after all, are responsible for over two thirds of emissions and local administrations, says Khan, are seen as the “doers”, while national governments are the “delayers”.

He thinks that mayors should be part of the UN climate conference negotiations. In fact, COP27, which wrapped up in Sharm el-Sheikh this month, will be the last without cities at the table.

Does he have a point? 

Hear what Khan told Sustainable Views and what our correspondent Philippa Nuttall makes of his green leadership for London as she talks to Silvia Pavoni, your host.

Last week's Autumn Statement saw a whole host of tax thresholds either frozen or cut as chancellor Jeremy Hunt attempted to plug a fiscal black hole of about £55bn - but the triple lock was maintained, leading to the state pension's biggest ever increase.

FTAdviser deputy editor Damian Fantato is joined by Laura Suter, head of personal finance at AJ Bell, Tim Morris, independent financial adviser Russell & Co, and Alex Shields, chartered financial planner at The Private Office, to discuss the financial planning implications.

They discuss how the frozen tax thresholds give plenty of food for thought to those in retirement, how the cost of living is affecting financial planning and they discuss whether there was any good news in last week's Autumn Statement.

Silvia and Alison Taylor of NYU Stern School of Business look into the language of sustainability and find it still has a pretty loose grammar and highly convoluted syntax. Most native speakers do not even agree on a common interpretation of environmental, social and governance factors. The good news is: more of us are trying to learn this language. And Alison shares a few tips on how she teaches it too. 

In the show, Alison mentions a piece she’s written for Sustainable Views. You can find it here https://www.sustainableviews.com/incentivising-esg-what-does-it-really-take/
