Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are versatile technologies that have drastically lowered the cost of data production and analysis, potentially accelerating global decarbonisation and addressing socioeconomic issues. Nonetheless, concerns persist regarding their environmental impact and the risk of propagating low-quality information, especially with large language models (LLMs).

Like any tool, AI can yield both positive and negative outcomes. As the demand for real-time data increases for the net-zero transition, the Transition Pathway Initiative Centre (TPI Centre) at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) is navigating this challenge. While AI could help process the necessary data for net zero alignment, unchecked reliance on automation may lead to misinformation and greenwashing, jeopardising sound decision-making. This event will explore the TPI Centre’s pilot programme aimed at automating data collection to evaluate the net-zero progress of companies, banks, and countries. By bringing together academics, researchers, investors and businesses, we hope to foster discussions on the information essential for advancing the net-zero transition.
Our speakers and chair:
– Ali Amin, policy fellow and Research Project Manager, TPI Centre
– Jon Cardoso-Silva, assistant professor, LSE Data Science Institute
– Melissa Chapman, assistant professor, environmental policy, ETH Zürich

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

SF Climate Week is a series of events gathering diverse climate organizations, leaders, & the broader community working at the intersection of climate action & innovation.

The Nature Tech Unconference brings the nature tech ecosystem together for a series of collaborative nature tech workshops and panel discussions, and to celebrate the global Nature Tech Collective Community!

The ‘Unconference’ format is your chance to shape the future of the sector with some of the brightest minds in nature tech.

This collaborative space is designed for researchers and practitioners to dive deep into complex issues and spark innovative solutions.

The Unconference 2025 is free to attend—your only expense is travel to the venue. However, attendance is by application only.

Nature Tech Week in London is a dynamic convergence of global leaders, innovators, and practitioners dedicated to leveraging technology to address the nature crisis. It’s a week-long exploration of how cutting-edge tools, collaborative solutions, and bold ideas can transform the way we understand, protect, and restore nature.

This year’s inaugural Nature Tech Week brings together three unmissable events focused on a single mission: to accelerate the adoption of nature tech solutions to reverse nature loss and close the finance gap needed to realign humanity with planetary health.

Nature Tech Week is for anyone passionate about advancing the intersection of technology and nature to address the accelerating rise of nature loss around the world. It brings together a diverse and dynamic community, including:

Private Sector Leaders: Companies looking to embed nature-positive practices into their strategies, manage nature-related risks, and innovate within supply chains.

Policymakers and Regulators: Those shaping and implementing frameworks to drive transparency, accountability, and alignment with global biodiversity goals.

Conservation and Sustainability Experts: Practitioners seeking to scale impactful tools, share experiences, and collaborate on transformative actions for biodiversity.

Nature Tech Innovators & Project Developers: Pioneers designing and implementing transformative projects that integrate technology to restore and protect biodiversity at scale.

Academics and Researchers: Thought leaders diving deep into the complex issues at the heart of the nature-tech intersection to foster innovative solutions.

The Nature Action Dialogues convenes leaders from business, finance and conservation to collectively tackle one of the most urgent challenges of our time: halting and reversing nature loss.

The Nature Action Dialogues provide a unique platform for meaningful exchange, where innovative ideas and collaborative solutions catalyse private sector action.

The 2025 event will explore solutions to address the triple planetary crisis and the biodiversity, water, climate and health nexus. Attendees will benefit from expert-led workshops and networking opportunities enabling them to accelerate their ambition and action on nature.

This webinar brings together experts from Land & Carbon Lab, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab, the University of Maryland’s GLAD Lab and the Bezos Earth Fund to showcase the latest advancements in near-real-time vegetation monitoring. With DIST-ALERT now integrated into Global Forest Watch, this cutting-edge, free and publicly available tool provides global alerts for vegetation disturbances at a 30×30-meter resolution, detecting changes across forests, grasslands, crops and more.

Learn how to access and apply DIST-ALERT data to monitor land disturbances caused by human activities such as deforestation and agricultural expansion, as well as natural events like droughts and wildfires. This is also an opportunity to preview exciting updates, including forthcoming classification tools designed to distinguish between human-driven and natural disturbances — unlocking greater potential for research, conservation and policy applications. Interested users can take part in the development of these powerful tools as beta testers.

Whether you’re looking to integrate the latest data into your work or explore innovative tools for monitoring land disturbances, this webinar offers valuable insights into the power and potential of DIST-ALERT.
