The Nature Hub

The Nature Hub @LCAW2026 Theme: Invest with Nature for a thriving economy

📅 Thursday 25th June 2026
🕗 8:30am – 5pm
📍 London Zoo, Regent’s Park

Nature investments are no longer part of a niche agenda — they are fast becoming central to how economies manage risk, drive growth, and build resilience. As climate and biodiversity pressures reshape markets and supply chains, a new consensus is emerging: long-term prosperity cannot be built on the depletion of natural systems.

Investing with nature offers a proven, cost-effective pathway to deliver a triple return — climate stability, biodiversity protection, and economic growth. From strengthening supply chains to unlocking new markets and revenue streams, nature-based solutions are increasingly being recognised as a core economic strategy.

The Nature Hub returns to London Climate Action Week to convene leaders from across business, finance, and the public sector to explore how this shift can be accelerated. Through a series of discussions and exchanges, the programme will explore the role of nature in reducing climate risk, strengthening supply chains, fostering economic resilience and powering innovation.

The Nature Hub is brought to you by the Nature4Climate Coalition, with the support of its members — Zoological Society of London, The Nature Conservancy, and FSC — and in close collaboration with its strategic partners: Salesforce, KPMG, ACR, aDryada, Arbor Day Foundation, Legal & General, Nativstate, Nuveen Natural Capital, Okala, PlanVivo, and Satelligence.

Together, these organizations are shaping the Nature Hub programme, leading the curation of sessions and driving forward a dynamic agenda that reflects cutting-edge insights, practical solutions, and diverse perspectives from across the nature and climate community.
