London Climate Action Week

About the London Climate Action Week 2024

London Climate Action Week (LCAW) is a groundbreaking annual festival that brings together individuals, organisations and communities as they host a diverse range of events and collaborations with a focus on finding global solutions to climate change.

As climate change impacts ripple into everyday lives, cities must play a vital new role in building public support for ambitious and fair climate action. It is critical to build broader coalitions of support and ownership for the radical economic, institutional, and social transformations which will be needed.

Now in its sixth year it is the largest city-wide climate festival in Europe, attracting over 45,000 people every year.

London Climate Action Week 2024 Focus

Now in its sixth year, London Climate Action Week marks the midpoint in the global climate calendar. 

This year, London Climate Action Week aims to provide a globally visible moment to address four key themes:

1. The road to climate ambition at COP 30 with a focus on the cooperation, politics and diplomacy needed to deliver a 1.5C aligned outcome in 2025.

2. Financing the global climate transition exploring how reform of public and private finance systems can support a new global finance goal at COP 29 and future climate action.

3. Delivering a net zero and resilient UK with pre – or post – election discussions on how to deliver the transformations needed across the UK, London’s role in shaping this and delivery of London’s ambitious 2030 net zero target.

4. Mobilising whole of society climate action with a focus on mobilising key networks in law, education, health, fashion, arts , culture and beyond. A core set of flagship events across all these themes is already in preparation and the aim is to make LCAW significantly more visible globally, and to Londoners, in 2024.
