Summary
S&P Global Energy is proud to participate in and convene select events during London Climate Action Week 2026, taking place 20–28 June 2026. As a global platform that harnesses the unique power of London for both local and international climate action, London Climate Action Week brings together an unparalleled ecosystem of climate and non-climate organizations to accelerate progress and reinforce London’s role as a global climate leader.
In 2026, sustainability will be defined by how stakeholders balance near-term priorities with long-term realities. S&P Global Energy’s event program will explore the critical themes of risk, resilience, and opportunity; helping businesses and investors navigate climate risks, strengthen resilience, and capitalize on emerging opportunities with durable, forward-looking strategies.
Our curated London Climate Action Week series will address some of the most pressing sustainability topics shaping markets today, including climate resilience, transition finance, decarbonization, supply chain due diligence, Corporate Sustainability Assessment, agentic AI, and more.
Designed for professionals across banks, corporations, asset owners, asset managers, and the investor community, these sessions will offer strategic insight, practical perspectives, and opportunities to engage with peers committed to advancing sustainable practices and shaping the future of their industries.
London Climate Action Week 2026 is also expected to focus on shaping global climate action on the path to COP, making it a timely forum for conversations that connect market realities with policy ambition.
