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 28 June 2023 at the prestigious London Stock Exchange.
Climate Investment Summit 2023 was the milestone event for the acceleration and deployment of investments in global climate solutions this decade, to ensure an energy secure and sustainable future for all. It convened leading governments, asset owners, financial institutions, international organisations, energy companies and developers marking a shift from discussions to tangible actions and showcases of implementation of concrete solutions to close the gap of up to USD 8 trillion of climate investments globally to reach 2030 targets.
The 2023 Roadmap
As a part of World Climate Network by the World Climate Foundation, Climate Investment Summit was a part of a yearlong roadmap of activities for engaging, informing and connecting stakeholders.
The 2023 roadmap includes international milestone events that leverage the power of convening, collaboration and change to catalyse tangible investments in climate solutions. Each event takes a market-oriented approach towards investments in key sectors such as energy, buildings, industry, transport and nature in developed and developing economies by or 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.
