ABOUT: The Nature Climate Solutions Alliance (NCSA) is organizing a series of events during London Climate Action Week, focused on the transformative role of high-quality nature-based solutions in the voluntary carbon market.

Across four days, hosted in collaboration with Abatable, Conservation International, Chloris, ERM, Fauna & Flora, Kita, Revalue, Sylvera, Plan Vivo, and We Are Level – participants will explore practical, science-backed approaches for delivering NCS carbon credits that achieve meaningful climate, biodiversity, and social impact.

These sessions are designed for businesses, investors, and stakeholders committed to high-integrity carbon projects that deliver real climate impact while supporting biodiversity and local communities.

Explore how community-led approaches enhance the long-term success of nature-based carbon projects. Learn how the Plan Vivo Standard ensures high-integrity credits with social and biodiversity co-benefits, and why these attributes lead to stronger, more investable outcomes.

The Nature Hub is back at London Climate Action Week, leading up to New York Climate Week and COP30, to explore how private sector investments in nature can help deliver business resilience, while also generating long-term value.

The event – followed by an evening drinks reception – will explore critical issues in the lead-up to COP30. Panellists will present innovative, scalable solutions, while a curated audience of 350 private sector leaders will assess the feasibility of financing these initiatives. Discussions will focus on identifying key challenges and opportunities for government intervention, recognizing nature’s role as one-third of the climate solution.

The Nature Hub aims to:

• Showcase private sector action and investment at the nexus of nature and climate
• Identify means to overcome the barriers to delivering a nature-positive economy
• Enable information exchange and collaboration

AGENDA:
Discussion 1: Making the case for private sector partnerships with governments to drive landscape-scale investments in nature-based solutions.

Discussion 2: Over the last decade, a range of innovative technologies and business models have been developed for nature-based solutions. Are investors ready to support them to deliver climate and nature outcomes at scale?

Networking Lunch

Discussion 3: How can we keep corporate action on climate and nature on track?

Networking walk – Finance and Corporate Nature Networking walk around Canary Wharf Biodiversity Sites

Discussion 4 – Financing Restoration & the Bioeconomy at Landscape Scales

Drinks Reception – Celebrating pioneering investments for nature

The 17th BRICS Summit will be hosted by Brazil. As the Chair of BRICS, Brazil is focusing on the theme, ‘Strengthening Global South Cooperation for More Inclusive and Sustainable Governance’.

Initially comprised of Brazil, the Russian Federation, India, China, and South Africa, the recently expanded alliance now also includes Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The BRICS countries convene for a BRICS Leaders’ Summit annually. Discussions focus on spheres of political and socioeconomic coordination, in which member countries have identified business opportunities, economic complementarities, and areas of cooperation.

The Brazilian Presidency will focus on two priorities: the Global South Cooperation; and BRICS Partnerships for Social, Economic, and Environmental Development. Brazil also proposes to focus on six core areas:

• Global health cooperation;
• Trade, investment, and finance;
• Climate change;
• Artificial intelligence (AI) governance;
• Multilateral peace and security architecture; and
• Institutional development.
