London Climate Action Week 2026

Monday, 22 June 2026

 

2:00 PM BST - Debate: Will the International Court of Justice ruling on climate deliver better health outcomes?
2:00 - 3:00 PM BST
The Conduit, 6 Langley St, London WC2H 9JA

Register here: https://live.theconduit.com/climate-and-health

Hosted by The Conduit and curated by DEBATABLE.
The International Court of Justice's landmark ruling on climate change, endorsed by the UN General Assembly, has been described as a breakthrough for accountability and a significant step forward for climate justice. But will it translate into better health outcomes?

Will it accelerate the policy, financing and innovation needed to protect people from the growing health impacts of climate change? Will it influence the decisions of governments, businesses and investors? And will its benefits reach the communities most vulnerable to climate-related health risks?

Bringing together voices from across law, health, policy and business, this debate will explore the opportunities the ruling creates, the barriers that could limit its impact, and what it will take to turn landmark legal decisions into meaningful improvements in human health.

2:30PM BST - Interactive: Who shapes the future of food?
2:30 to 4:30 PM BST
City of London Club, 19 Old Broad St, London EC2N 1DS

Food systems are coming under increasing pressure from climate change, biodiversity loss, economic instability and widening inequality. At the same time, questions of food security and food sovereignty are becoming ever more urgent, not only whether people have access to food, but who holds power within the systems that shape how it is produced, distributed, valued and governed.
 
Yet across farms, cities, landscapes and communities, signals of a different future are already emerging. From regenerative farming models and local food networks to community gardens, indigenous knowledge systems and women-led agricultural initiatives, people are reimagining more resilient, equitable and locally rooted approaches to food. The question is no longer whether alternatives exist , it is why they remain at the margins, and what it would take to change that.
 
In recognition of the International Year of Women Farmers 2026, this session will pay particular attention to the women who sustain food systems, protect biodiversity and build resilience at the frontline of climate change, despite frequently holding the least economic and political power within the systems on which the world depends.
 
Hosted by Project Dandelion, Commonland, Kite Insights and the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT, with welcome remarks from Mary Robinson, the session brings together global leadership, frontline practitioners, scientists, community voices and system innovators. Rather than a traditional panel, it is designed as a participatory gathering, drawing on Donella Meadows' idea of dancing with systems, that complex systems shift not through top-down prescription but through relationship, proximity and the recognition that those closest to the problem often hold the clearest understanding of the path forward.
 
6:45PM BST - Amazon Voices: Indigenous Leadership for Global Protection

6:45PM to 8:30PM BST
LSE Old Theatre, Houghton St, London, WC2A 2AE

Register here.

The forest cannot speak for itself. But those who live within it can speak for all of us.
 
In the aftermath of COP30 in Belém and ahead of critical climate negotiations, the global community needs authentic Amazon perspectives from those who know the territory best. This panel creates a unique platform for Indigenous leaders and Brazilian government officials from across the Amazon basin to address international decision-makers, investors and policy influencers directly.
 
The event will begin with a 45-minute complimentary pre-event reception from 6:45pm outside the Old Theatre, followed by the main talk. The discussion will explore how Indigenous leadership, territorial stewardship and traditional knowledge contribute to protecting biodiversity, strengthening climate resilience and advancing sustainable development. Speakers will share perspectives on bioeconomy models, risk mitigation strategies, innovative financing mechanisms, and the forest’s role as a global climate solution.
 
Speakers include: 
  • Marina Silva, Former Minister of Environment and Climate Change, Brazil
  • Sônia Guajajara, Federal Deputy in the Brazilian Congress, Former Minister of Indigenous Peoples, Brazil, Guajajara Indigenous Woman Leader & Co-Founder of ANMIGA  from the Brazilian Amazon

8:30AM BST - Breakfast: The Fossil Fuel Treaty Initiative: Meeting the Habitability Imperative

Hosted by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and the Fossil Fuel Treaty Initiative.

8:30 to 10:30AM BST 
The British Academy, 10-11 Carlton House Terrace, London


From the disappearing coastlines of the Pacific to the flood plains of Europe and the drought-stricken communities of the Global South, fossil fuel-driven climate change is rapidly becoming a crisis of human habitability — threatening where people live, how they work, and what they leave to future generations.

This event will bring together Pacific and European ministers, international experts, and civil society to connect the dots between phasing out fossil fuel production and safeguarding our shared humanity, celebrate the momentum from the recent Santa Marta convening and inform what must happen next ahead of the second diplomatic conference hosted by the governments of Tuvalu and Ireland in 2027.

This is an essential conversation for leaders, practitioners and funders seeking to shape the next chapter of climate action in a fundamentally changed context, and to strengthen links between constituencies of the climate movement that have for too long been disconnected from each other.

Express interest to attend.

5:00 PM BST - Debate: We are investing in the wrong sustainable innovations

Hosted by EY
Curated by DEBATABLE. by Kite Insights

5:00 to 6:30 PM BST

Banking Hall, 14 Cornhill, London EC3V 3ND

The scale of the sustainability challenge has produced an expanding universe of innovation, yet the gap between investment and impact stubbornly persists. Some argue transformative innovations like green hydrogen, long-duration storage and regenerative agriculture are being forced to scale inside a system designed for the world we have, not the one we're heading towards. AI may accelerate that transformation, or simply entrench the solutions already winning. The pressure to compete within existing rules quietly crowds out the innovations that could rewrite them. The innovations that win tend to reflect the systems that chose them.

The counter-argument is that every transformative innovation in history proved its value within existing structures before displacing them. Build the foundations, prove the returns, and more ambitious bets become possible. Furthermore, financial capital is only part of what is at stake. Political careers, institutional identities and the livelihoods of communities on the frontlines of climate change have all been committed to particular pathways. Sunk cost bias shapes not just what we invest in, but what kind of future we are actually preparing for.

Are we innovating in a way that truly prepares us for the unstable future ahead? Or are we bound to a present that our prior commitments have made too costly to question?
