Climate Innovation Forum 2021

About this event

The Climate Innovation Forum returned for the third year, as a digital event during London Climate Action Week, to build critical momentum ahead of COP26. The 3-day agenda focused on the UK’s Ten Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution – exploring how we can build back better, support green jobs, and accelerate our path to net zero.
The Forum reviewed London and the UK’s progress in reaching net zero, the successes and the failures and what needs to be done to raise our ambition. It also explored the importance of clean air in London and the health implications of air pollution, in partnership with the UN Breathe Life Campaign.

The Forum convened 5,000 senior policymakers from local authorities, national UK government, investors, climate-tech solution providers, heads of sustainability from FTSE 500 companies, and NGO’s in order to close the gap between ambition and action.150 world-class speakers provided compelling keynotes, contributed to high-level panel sessions and deep-dive industry tracks, and joined interactive roundtables.
