London Climate Action Week (LCAW) is an annual event taking place this year from the 22-30 June 2024.
Background
Climate Action Week aims to mobilise whole-of-society climate action in a diverse global city, through innovative coalitions and the city-wide engagement of communities and institutions. Now in its sixth year, it is the largest city-wide climate festival in Europe, attracting over 45,000 people every year.
This year’s Climate Action Week seeks to address four main themes:
- The road to climate ambition at COP30
- Financing the global climate transition
- Delivering a net zero and resilient UK
- Mobilising whole of society climate action
The PRI will be involved in various events throughout the week. Check this page for updates on our work at LCAW.
