Through its plenary conference programme, partner roundtables, side events and networking opportunities, the Forum acts as a critical catalyst to:

The Aviation Impact Accelerator is pleased to be hosting an evening event in collaboration with Transport & Environment exploring the issue of contrails – a significant non-CO2 climate impact of aviation.

Convening organisations with substantial business travel during London Climate Action Week 2026, we will hear from international experts on why contrails matter, the size of the opportunity (potentially halving aviation’s climate warming impact) and how business travellers can use their significant influence to progress contrail management as a high-impact, low-cost pathway towards a more sustainable aviation system.

Climate change is pushing regions and sectors toward insurability limits, challenging models built on historical stability. As governments accelerate housing, energy and infrastructure development, policy ambitions often overlook whether new assets will remain insurable over time. The ClimateWise Insurability Readiness Matrix helps identify emerging thresholds and the levers that can restore resilience.

Trust in Sustainability Accelerator is hosted by CISL and the British Standards Institution (BSI), supporting startups that build more trusted and sustainable value chains through digital innovation.

Now in its third year, the programme brings together BSI’s 125 year history fostering progress and trust and CISL’s innovation expertise and ecosystem. During the Demo Day, nine pioneering startups will present how their solutions and technologies build trust directly into every stage of the global supply chain

While “green skills” is a powerful framing in policy and labour‑market contexts, we see an opportunity to gently broaden that definition and the conversation. We can no longer say green skills are seen as having a competitive edge as the world deprioritises sustainability, so we need a new hook that speaks to the realities of business, policy and finance.  What skillsets are required to motivate market shifts?  What kinds of leadership, resilience and balance between short- and long-term priorities are needed to navigate disruption? Our recommendation is therefore to go beyond technical skills (e.g., carbon accounting) towards building a broad baseline sustainability understanding for all roles, and – critically – developing the leadership and organisational capabilities required to to translate skills into measurable impact.
