techUK guide to London Climate Action Week 2025
techUK is pleased to be partnering with London Climate Action Week again in 2025.
London is home to 250,000 professionals working on climate across the public, private and third sector, and from 21-29 June the city will play host to hundreds of events, talks, and networking hubs. This year will focus on both ‘Local London’ and ‘Global London’: how the city is travelling towards net zero locally, as well as driving and shaping climate action on the international stage.
For the tech industry, the week promises a wide range of exciting events. Coming straight after billions of pounds worth of nuclear and energy project announcements in the Spending Review, and with the promise of the UK’s first Industrial Strategy in seven years due to launch mid-week, LCAW 2025 will be a key forum for climate and sustainability professionals to engage in conversations at the cutting edge of climate action.
With over 300 events taking place over the week, we’ve set out a (non-exhaustive) guide to some of the most interesting tech-related events you might want to attend. As official partners, techUK also has some complimentary member tickets for the Climate Innovation Forum on 25-26 June. If you would like to request one of these tickets or provide a guest blog on any specific LCAW 2025 events or themes, please contact [email protected]
