During London Climate Action Week 2026, Climeworks will convene a closed-door executive breakfast bringing together a select group of senior sustainability and business leaders to discuss how leading corporates are navigating this shift.
The event will be held under Chatham House Rule to enable an open and constructive discussion.

- Insights into early action as a source of competitive advantage and credibility
