Overview
London Climate Action Week is one of the world's largest independent climate events uniting local and global experts to harness the unique power of London for global climate action.
The week is made up of hundreds of independent events where leaders, experts, and community representatives come together to address climate issues, exchange knowledge, and develop practical solutions both within their sectors and across the broader real economy.
This year’s themes focus on four key priorities: shaping global climate action in the lead-up to COP30; delivering a just and inclusive climate transition net-zero, resilient London and UK; fostering alignment across London’s sectors and clusters; and demonstrating whole-of-society engagement.
We’re contributing to the event through discussions on financing the global climate transition, speaking at the Net Zero Delivery Summit, and hosting various topical events.

Financing The Nature-Positive Transition
In this high-level roundtable with the World Economic Forum, we will bring together leading financial institutions to explore financing the transition toward a nature-positive future. Our discussions will focus on identifying priority nature opportunities within companies’ value chains across sectors and blueprints for financial institutions to address these opportunities. The event will explore essential guidance and tools to help financial institutions understand the opportunities presented by nature as well as the risks associated with inaction.

Scaling Transition Finance
Together with Marsh, in this session, we will explore the role that insurers can play in supporting the UK’s energy transition, with a particular focus on the UK Government’s priorities through the National Wealth Fund and other Public Finance Institutions (PuFins). We will convene representatives from insurance (including as asset owners), government, private finance, and the energy sector to understand the state of Transition Finance in the UK, where there are particular bottlenecks in finance supply, and how the insurance industry can innovate to help unlock finance flows.
