FSD Africa will host a high-level session during London Climate Action Week 2026, Europe’s largest independent climate event, examining the gap between growing policy ambition on nature finance and the limited deployment of large-scale capital in Africa.
The session will bring together policymakers, investors, project developers, and corporates to explore what it will take for nature to transition from a landscape of fragmented initiatives into a credible, investable asset class capable of attracting institutional and private capital at scale.
London Climate Action Week takes place across nine days each June, convening more than 75,000 people across 750 events, from community gatherings to ministerial roundtables, making it a key moment in the global climate calendar between COPs.
