About Climate Innovation Forum 2021
The Climate Innovation Forum returns this summer as a headline event of London Climate Action Week. Organised by Climate Action as part of our Roadmap to COP26, the event is designed to connect 5,000 policy makers, investors, businesses and sustainability leaders from across the UK to boost business innovation, technological solutions and capital investment in order to close the gap between ambition and action.
With over 150 speakers and more than 50 partners, the Forum will include high-level plenary sessions and deep-dive industry tracks, a digital exhibition, virtual networking and climate boardrooms (roundtables). The 3-day agenda will focus on the UK’s Ten Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution – looking at how we can build back better, support green jobs, and accelerate our path to net zero – whilst harnessing the power of London for global climate action.
