📢 Two weeks to go until our London Climate Action Week: Capital Stack Summit
London has the research, the capital, and the ambition. So why do so many climate innovations stall before they reach scale?
On Tuesday 23 June, the UCL Centre for Sustainable Business will bring together leading voices from climate finance, innovation, and urban leadership for an evening of honest, action-oriented discussion at UCL School of Management, Canary Wharf.
Moderated by Professor Paolo Taticchi, Co-Founder of UCL Centre for Sustainable Business, and Christoper Patacsil, Global Research Advisor at CIV:LAB, the event will explore some of the key challenges facing climate innovation today, from retrofit financing in underserved communities and the gap between philanthropic and institutional capital, to urban climate technology and the role of government as an enabler.
We will be joined by:
• Erin Meezan, CSO at JLL and Executive Director of JLL Foundation
• Ryan Ramos, Head of Product and Technology at Inclusive Prosperity Capital
• Erin Ellis, Director of Development at Efficiency Capital
• Julia Attwood, Research Director at Sightline Climate
• Sonam Velani, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Streetlife Ventures
• Anh Nguyen, Urban Innovation Fellow at Cornell Tech
Together, they will explore how finance, innovation, and cross-sector collaboration can help climate solutions reach scale.
