This London Climate Action Week event is hosted in collaboration with the Climate & Clean Air Coalition<\/path><\/svg><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join this event exploring how integrated action on air pollution and climate change can deliver immediate health, environmental and economic benefits. Bringing together speakers from government, finance, academia and philanthropy, the discussion will focus on the economic case for tackling super pollutants and maintaining ambition in a complex geopolitical context. The event will be particularly relevant for policymakers, investors and practitioners working on climate, clean air and sustainable development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This session contributes to momentum ahead of the UNEP – CCAC Global Economic Assessment of Climate and Clean Air. It will examine how to sustain progress despite competing pressures such as energy security and economic competitiveness, and highlight practical pathways to scale solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event will highlight the economic benefits of rapid, integrated action on climate and clean air, explore key challenges and opportunities in the current geopolitical landscape, and discuss policy, finance and investment mechanisms to scale high-impact solutions. It will also showcase examples of technologies and approaches already being deployed, and consider the enabling conditions needed to accelerate implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speakers will be announced in the coming weeks<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
