The economic and climate benefits of the coal-to-clean transition are clear. Coal is the most polluting fuel, and the transition away from coal not only reduces the health and economic costs of pollution – transitioning away from coal enables countries to build more competitive green supply chains, access lower energy prices and fuel economic growth.

In the run-up to COP30, countries have the opportunity to set out clear plans for how they will the implement the outcomes of the Global Stocktake in their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). These plans are critical to give communities, utilities and investors with the certainty they need to mobilise resources and action- enabling a just and orderly energy transition.

This year as the 10-year anniversary of the Paris Agreement offers an opportunity to assess the progress made by global climate efforts. This event will showcase the progress and opportunities made to deliver this transition. This includes the work of Powering Past Coal Alliance members, who are making strides to deliver a coal-to-clean transition. Speakers will share inspiring and informative case studies demonstrating that coal-to-clean power transitions can be done rapidly and effectively, whilst protecting local communities and workers. This will include Chile’s rapid replacement of coal with 95% zero carbon power sources, and the UK’s experience as the first G7 economy to power past coal as it now strives for Clean Power by 2030.

The path away from coal will not be the same for every country. While all transitions come with challenges, emerging economies face particularly complex ones — including younger coal fleets, growing energy demand, and the need to ensure access, reliability and affordability. This event will bring together governments, investors, corporates, and financial institutions to discuss how these challenges can be met through international cooperation and investment, and solutions tailored to national contexts. The transition must be just, and it must work for everyone.

Join SBTi at London Climate Action Week for a high-level gathering of business and climate leaders. In partnership with UN Global Compact Network UK, we’ll explore how bold climate ambition can be turned into meaningful, measurable action.

The biggest global challenge we face today is scaling credible climate action. We need to implement effective policies that work locally while also aligning to international climate goals, such as those of the Paris Agreement. Doing so requires robust climate governance and effective delivery mechanisms.

This high-profile event will showcase the emergence of a new economic order that is responding to today’s most urgent challenges with pragmatic and effective solutions. Against a backdrop of volatile markets, fragile multilateralism, and energy insecurity, Mission 2025 partners will present compelling evidence that a more efficient economy that delivers for people is not only possible but already taking shape: a vanguard of leaders are adapting to new realities and building momentum to support success at COP30 in Belém. The event will tell an economy-wide story spanning energy, industry, mobility, nature, food, and finance – demonstrating how we can reclaim the mic on climate change and mobilize towards November.

Join EY at the Climate Innovation Forum for a panel discussion and Q&A exploring how corporates and financial services organisations play vital and complementary roles in the transition to a sustainable future. Corporates are not only direct contributors to climate change but also possess the power to drive meaningful climate action by implementing strategies to decarbonise their operations on national, regional, and global scales. Meanwhile, financial services act as enablers of this transformation by unlocking and redirecting capital towards investments in low-emission technologies and sustainable practices.

In the past two years, we have witnessed an increasing number of corporates and financial services organisations publishing transition plans as part of their climate strategies. These plans, to varying degrees, depend on one another to achieve their ambitious climate goals.

Session objectives:

• Explore the differing perspectives on transition planning from both corporate and financial services organisations.
• Examine the role of finance in corporate transition planning and the influence of corporates on the transition strategies of financial services.
• Discuss the distinct synergies that can be harnessed in future iterations of these plans and consider the key interdependencies that should be more prominently reflected in the transition planning process.

Despite rising corporate sustainability commitments, biodiversity loss persists due to fragmented finance and climate-centric frameworks like carbon markets and SBTi. Businesses face challenges integrating biodiversity into procurement strategies and delivering measurable, relevant outcomes. This session explores how companies can become long-term partners in conservation finance, using innovative models like the Rimba Collective to link biodiversity action to sourcing and supply chains. Panellists from Nestlé, P&G, Lestari Capital, and WCS will discuss practical approaches to procurement-linked finance, blended capital, and bundled outcomes, highlighting how to align biodiversity goals with business value and scale impact across sectors and geographies.

The Embassy of Brazil is delighted to be hosting the 5th annual edition of the Brazilian Agritech Briefing alongside the Climate Innovation Forum on 25 June in Guildhall.

Bringing together investors, corporates and institutions ready to drive real impact toward a just and nature-positive economy, the event will showcase a selection of the country’s most promising companies dedicated to offering sustainable solutions for Brazilian agribusiness.

Join leading voices from Tesco, WRAP — a global environmental action NGO — FareShare, and Branston for a panel discussion exploring the critical role of food waste prevention across the supply chain, from farm to fork.

We’re pleased to welcome WRAP’s CEO, Catherine David, Tony McElroy, Tesco’s Head of Circularity Campaigns, FareShare’s CEO, Kris Gibbon-Walsh, and Mark Willcox, Branston’s Agronomy Director to share their insights and leadership on this urgent issue. The session will be chaired by Rosemary Brotchie, Senior Manager, Health and Sustainability at The Consumer Goods Forum.

Reducing food waste is one of the most powerful levers we have to cut emissions, lower costs and accelerate progress toward net zero. If food waste were a country, it would be the third-largest emitter of greenhouse gases globally, a stark reminder of the environmental and economic urgency of the issue.

This discussion will focus on why coordinated action between governments, businesses, NGOs and customers is essential to deliver meaningful and measurable progress.

Join us for a compelling conversation on how prevention-first strategies and cross-sector collaboration can unlock real impact for the climate, the economy and society.

The London Climate Action Week Secretariat and Climate Action are delighted to be hosting the London Climate Action Week Gala Dinner on Wednesday 25th June.

The prestigious dinner, sponsored by Bloomberg Philanthropies, will welcome 350 leaders from the UK’s dynamic climate community and international guests to celebrate the seventh annual London Climate Action Week and support the COP30 Presidency’s call for a Global Mutirão against climate change.

Attendees will enjoy networking drinks and a sit-down dinner and hear from inspirational climate pioneers and cultural performers in the stunning surroundings of London’s Guildhall.
