A new key biodiversity platform for cross sectoral collaboration
For its inaugural launch, World Biodiversity Summit will help define what world leaders and the private sector in biodiversity and climate action need to do in the medium and long term to achieve sustainable development and hinder further biodiversity loss, focusing on partnerships and investment mechanisms as levers of progress. World Biodiversity Summit is a platform for responding to accelerating biodiversity loss, by using the Paris Agreement as a framework to learn from, promoting relevant solutions, innovations, and leadership networks, strengthening nature restoration and conservation. Nature-based solutions will be highlighted, from specificecosystems to global possibilities.

The Globally Leading Event for Investing in Climate Solutions by 2030
Climate Investment Summit returned on 26 June 2024 at the prestigious London Stock Exchange.
​
Following its success as the flagship event of London Climate Action Week 2023 and 2022, Climate Investment Summit partnered for its third year with the London Stock Exchange Group to host its global finance event at the London Stock Exchange. The Summit delivered impact through sector-specific and market-driven actions, investments and partnerships required by investors to play a key role in helping the world limit global warming to 1.5°C.
The 2024 Roadmap
As a part of the World Climate Network by the World Climate Foundation, Climate Investment Summit is a part of a yearlong roadmap of activities for engaging, informing and connecting stakeholders.
​
The 2024 roadmap includes international milestone events that leverage the power of collaboration and joint action to catalyse investments in climate solutions leading up to COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan. Each event takes a market-oriented approach towards investments in key sectors such as energy, buildings, industry, transport and nature in developed and developing markets before 2030.
London Climate Action Week is about bringing people together to solve big, difficult climate problems, and to E3G nothing is more important than rapidly increasing finance in clean energy and resilience; especially during an energy and food crisis. We are proud to welcome the Climate Investment Summit as an LCAW flagship event showcasing the delivery of promises made at COP26 on scaling-up public-private investment.

Climate Investment Summit was a critical element of London Climate Action Week, so I was thrilled to be asked to represent Aviva Investors in the real estate session. The opportunities and challenges we face in private markets can only be solved through innovation and collaboration and I left the venue with several exciting new contacts. Thank you, World Climate Foundation!

The Summit galvanised the main players to drill down into the need for and means to finance the transition to low energy solutions. Good real-life examples made it easy to understand the current limitations but also the potential to creating a new economic response to the current crisis.
