Activities for the 2026 LSE Festival and London Climate Action Week

We have planned several engaging events tailored to different stakeholders as part of the 2026 LSE Festival and London Climate Action Week. These events address key questions, including:

• How can climate change be mainstreamed in everyday finance?
• Are corporate transition plans credible?
• How can companies and investors navigate external dependencies in transition planning?
• How have investor expectations on bank climate performance evolved since Glasgow?

Event 1: Make your money work for the planet

Organised by the TPI Global Climate Transition Centre (TPI Centre) at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) and hosted by the LSE Festival (15-20 June). This session explores how climate change considerations can be mainstreamed into everyday finance decisions.
