The Climate Policy Forum is techUK's new strategic forum bringing together members to collaborate on the most pressing climate and sustainability challenges facing the technology sector.
As climate policy becomes increasingly central to business strategy, this forum provides a vital space for collective action, policy development, and practical support. Meeting quarterly throughout the year, each session will focus on critical themes while delivering both policy influence and actionable business tools.
The forum responds directly to member priorities identified through extensive consultation with our Climate Council. Led by our co-chairs, the forum ensures diverse perspectives shape our collective approach to climate challenges.
Each session provides valuable networking opportunities, connecting sustainability leaders, policy experts, and climate innovators across the tech sector to share insights, build partnerships, and tackle shared challenges together.
A suggested agenda of the meeting:
- Welcome and introduction to the Climate Policy Forum and its role in supporting policy engagement
- Policy briefing from the government
- Fireside discussion on the intersection of climate and AI
- Networking break
- Interactive discussion on policy barriers and enablers for climate tech
- techUK programme spotlights
- Closing remarks
2026 priorities
Throughout the year, the Climate Policy Forum will address the issues members have identified as most critical, ranging from AI’s impact on the climate to the circular economy and supply chain transparency.
Each quarterly meeting will partner with other techUK programmes ensuring climate considerations are embedded across the full technology landscape.
