As the climate movement gears up to COP30 in Brazil this November, all eyes turn to the other side of the Atlantic. London Climate Action Week 2025 emerges as a critical waypoint in the global climate calendar, and nature is firmly on the agenda. With finance, policy, and business leaders descending on the UK capital this June, nature is stepping into the spotlight, not as an afterthought, but as a core solution to the climate crisis. Events will explore how security concerns and economic uncertainty are reshaping sustainability strategies and investor priorities, while also spotlighting finance opportunities in the bioeconomy, nature tech, and efforts in restoration, adaptation, and urban resilience.
The growing importance of LCAW — and the expanding list of nature-related events there — proves that despite geopolitical turmoil, nature-based solutions are in the spotlight because they can deliver for people, the economy, and the environment. But the key question remains: what will it take to scale them? That’s the challenge at the heart of the Nature Hub, Nature4Climate’s flagship event, returning on Monday, 23 June at KPMG’s offices in Canary Wharf.
The Nature Hub: Pioneering Investment Partnerships
We’re entering crunch time. Climate risks are multiplying. Biodiversity loss is accelerating. Economic uncertainty is forcing many companies to reassess their sustainability commitments. That’s why looking at nature as a smart investment can help build resilience, foster growth, and manage risk.
The Nature Hub is about making that case, clearly and credibly. It’s also about building a stronger bridge between public ambition and private action, and getting honest about what’s needed to overcome the barriers still holding nature finance back.
The one-day event will bring to the stage leaders from Bank of America, Nestlé, KPMG, GSK, Sainsbury’s, ING, Anglo American, BTG Pactual, Barclays, Suzano, and the UK Government, with a keynote by Mary Creagh, Minister for Nature, setting the tone for the day. Drawing on her extensive experience and recent initiatives, Minister Creagh is expected to underscore the government’s commitment to halting and reversing nature loss, highlighting investments such as the £400 million allocated for tree planting and peatland restoration, and the establishment of a new nature restoration fund. Her remarks should call on public and private actors alike to integrate nature into economic planning and to collaborate on the delivery of the UK’s biodiversity and climate goals.
Panel discussions and working tables will then dive into how private sector investment can support government targets, scale emerging business models, and navigate the risks and returns of nature-positive finance.

Why this matters now
The outcomes of London Climate Action Week will echo far beyond the Thames. As one of the final major international climate gatherings before COP30, the credibility of global climate and nature commitments will depend on what happens next. Discussions held in London, backed by negotiation rounds at SB 62 in Bonn this June, are bound to shape the priorities, coalitions, and investments that carry into Belém.
For nature in particular, the stakes are high. The promises made under the Paris Agreement and the Montreal Biodiversity Framework demand tangible delivery mechanisms—especially for Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), National Adaptation Plans (NAPs), and National Biodiversity Strategies (NbSAPs). Matching corporate ambition, government action, and finance is crucial to tackle the implementation gap.
The Nature Hub doesn’t stand alone — it’s part of a growing ecosystem of action taking place throughout the week. From policy showcases at DEFRA and investor roundtables to civil society gatherings at Kew Gardens and Goals House, nature is everywhere at LCAW. Other highlights of the week include the Ocean Climate Nexus conference and the Climate Innovation Forum, underscoring that the intersection of climate and nature will be a central theme.

So, can nature make it through London? If the right people show up, roll up their sleeves, and commit to real action, we believe it can. And in doing so, it can help set the course for a COP30 with nature.
