London Climate Action Week 2026: Just transition event round-up

London Climate Action Week (LCAW) harnesses the power of London for global and local climate action.

An open and inclusive platform for action—and a public good—LCAW is one of the world’s largest independent climate events. Now in its eighth edition, it brings together more than 75,000 people across more than 750 events over nine days each June—from community gatherings in every borough to ministerial roundtables in the City of London, from school events to major international conferences.

A number of events held during LCAW 2026 focus on just transition. Here’s our curated guide to just transition side events in London.
