Nature in the City

On Sunday 21 June, the summer solstice, Nature in the City gathers 350 guests on the rooftop of Sea Containers London for an afternoon of honest, solutions-led climate conversation.

Co-hosted by The Long Run, LORE Group, Bouteco and The Datai Pledge, the afternoon makes the case that travel and hospitality — one of the largest economic sectors in the world, shaping decisions across land, water, food, energy and culture — is a serious climate actor, not a peripheral one.

Speakers include Dr, Matt Winning, stand-up comedian, environmental economist, UCL researcher and BBC Radio 4 presenter and Kevin Lacks-Kelly, Head of the UK National Wildlife Crime Unit and Chair of the INTERPOL Wildlife Crime Working Group, who will set out why wildlife crime, now the world’s fourth-largest criminal enterprise, is a frontline climate issue. They are joined by leaders from LORE Group, The Datai Pledge, The Long Run, The Bull Inn, Sapling Spirits and NEMI Teas, exploring nature-based solutions, regenerative food and drink, accountability and data, and the place of nature in cities.

Curated by Juliet Kinsman, Sustainable Luxury Expert, Sustainability Editor at Condé Nast Traveller and Ambassador for The Datai Pledge. A special episode of the Funny Old World podcast, sponsored by The Long Run, will be recorded on the day.

Talks 3 – 5.30pm; drinks until 6pm.

Tickets £20 — every penny goes to Farms for City Children, in their 50th anniversary year.
