“The climate crisis will affect everyone, everywhere. And it will get much worse if we don’t do more to curb our carbon emissions much faster. This is why events as part of London Climate Action Week like this one are so important because not only do they help us raise awareness about the urgency of this challenge but they also provide a space and forum where we can work together to develop the practical solutions we need to tackle it.”
— Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London
Why London, Why Now?
The climate emergency is no longer a distant threat, it is a daily reality shaping the health of our planet and the wellbeing of every community. London’s leadership, exemplified by Mayor Sadiq Khan’s bold vision, sends a clear signal: the time for incremental progress has passed; we need decisive, collective action. London Climate Action Week (LCAW) running 21–29 June 2025, embodies that urgency, convening businesses, policymakers, academics, and civil society to accelerate climate solutions on an urban scale.
Spotlight on Reset Connect 2025
Among the hundreds of events taking place across the city, Reset Connect London stands out as the flagship sustainability and green‑investment gathering. Hosted at ExCeL London on 24–25 June 2025, the award‑winning expo unites more than 7,500 participants, 400+ expert speakers, and 300+ solution providers across business, energy, finance, and government. It is free to attend.
Reset Connect’s mission is simple yet ambitious: create an ecosystem where transformative ideas meet the capital, technology, and talent required to scale. Whether you are exploring renewable‑energy breakthroughs, next‑generation carbon accounting, or equitable financing mechanisms for the Global South, the event offers a stage, and a network, to accelerate impact.
