Organiser: As part of:

Introduction

In response to COVID-19 and the unpredictability of holding physical events: Climate Action, presents the 2nd edition of the Climate Innovation Forum as a virtual event in 2020.

Climate Innovation Forum was the largest multi-stakeholder event during the inaugural London Climate Action Week in 2019 convening over 500 delegates in person from across the public and private sectors in just 1-day. This year, the Forum will launch a virtual event platform convening over 3000 online global attendees as an official affiliated event of London Climate Action Week.

The Climate Innovation Virtual Forum 2020 forms part of Climate Action’s Roadmap to COP26 Digital Event Series. The Forum agenda will ask the question: How can the UK us the net-zero emission target as a pathway for economic recovery post pandemic?

Collaborating with

“The Covid-19 global pandemic is challenging norms and presents a potentially pivotal moment for climate policy. London has the largest concentration professionals and organisations working to deliver the transition to a net zero carbon and climate resilient world. Coordinating on climate policy in the light of what we are learning from the Covid-19 pandemic aims to harness London’s potential to drive local, national, and international climate action.”

The LCAW Digital will focus on events during two distinct weeks in 2020 in July and November.

1-3rd July 2020 During London Climate Action Week (LCAW) Digital 1-3 July, we recognise the need to respond, inform and shape policy discussions on Covid- 19 and the climate emergency, but also that convening events as a stepping-stone for the rescheduled COP26 in 2021 remains crucial for climate policy.

London Climate Action Week presents 3 key themes:• Green Investment for Economic Recovery• Politics of Collaboration and Competition• Solutions for Adaptation and Resilience

November 2020LCAW Digital in November will have a broader focus that is more aligned with the original LCAW intent, aiming to support the climate dialogue ahead of COP26. We are planning on this having a predominantly digital configuration, using a range of formats that will allow for a wider section of London’s clusters to participate, and encourage citizen and community engagement.

As part ofEnhancing your digital voice and maintaining momentum towards COP26

Given the current global health crisis the role of digital and virtual events have become critical in maintaining momentum and facilitating dialogue between key stakeholders ahead of COP26.

Climate Action’s Digital Roadmap to COP26 and our Bespoke Digital Event Service have been designed to facilitate critical multi-stakeholder dialogue ahead of the UNFCCC’s COP26 negotiations in November 2021.

Climate Action & COP26:

Climate Action have been hosting the Sustainable Innovation Forum for over a decade. Ahead of the UNFCCC’s critical climate negotiations and in response to our global health crisis, we have designed a digital roadmap to keep organisations engaged and build momentum ahead of COP26.

Forum Overview

As we navigate these uncertain times and government, businesses and industries consider life after lockdown, the decisions we make today will decide the future we rebuild.

Building on the success of the inaugural Climate Innovation Forum - the largest multi stakeholder event during London Climate Action Week 2019 – the 2nd instalment returns on the 1 July 2020 as a Virtual Forum, connecting local, regional and national climate ambition with private sector innovation, technology and finance for a green recovery.

This year’s Climate Innovation Virtual Forum will explore how economic recovery packages can boost our economy in the short term whilst scaling low carbon industries and creating clean jobs to keep us on track for net-zero emission by 2050.

The Virtual platform will deliver more than 3.5 hours of exclusive content from key decision makers directly involved in the recovery agenda and, through AI-based networking, will connect attendees from across the country to forge new relationships, contribute to the recovery debate and share ideas on pathways to build a better future.

If the UK is to meet its emissions target by 2050, we must fuse public sector ambition with private sector innovation, investment and technology. The Climate Innovation Virtual Forum aims to facilitate connections, build partnerships and forge new relationships to accelerate the UK’s low carbon future.

Morning Sessions

10:00 Virtual Panel DiscussionHow can the UK’s net-zero target become a pathway for a green economic recovery?Governments around the world are starting to lift lockdown and reopen economies, but many industries are in crisis and some say we could be looking at the worst recession in decades. As the UK looks to life after lockdown and learns to live with the Coronavirus, there are increasing concerns about the economy, industry bailouts, a surge in unemployment and widening inequalities. But as hosts of COP26 and with the climate limelight well and truly focused on the UK, can we navigate the fallout of COVID-19 whilst ensuring we stay on track for net-zero by 2050?CONFIRMED:

14:15 Virtual PanelFinance and investment for a sustainable recoveryAligning both public and private investment with a pathway towards low greenhouse gas emissions and climate-resilient development has never been so important. Indeed, investments in long-term, sustainable projects have shown to have a greater overall impact on our economy. As we seek to implement fiscal and economic recovery packages, how can the financial services sector support a green recovery and how do we shift the capital flows needed to rebuild a more resilient future, boost our economy and keep the country on track for net-zero by 2050?CONFIRMED:
