FLEET STREET QUARTER
CLIMATE FESTIVAL 2026
CLIMATE CONNECTORS
22-25th June 2026 | Across the Fleet Street Quarter
Join us for the third year of Fleet Street Quarter's Climate Festival, taking place during London Climate Action Week #LCAW2026. Bringing together leaders from sustainability, property, finance, law, culture and media to debate and share insights on how we can mobilise the private sector to support a more healthy, sustainable and prosperous future that benefits all of society.
This year, Fleet Street Quarter’s annual Climate Festival is changing format to reflect a moment of renewal, not just in the climate conversation, but in how we come together to explore it. Moving away from traditional panel discussions, the 2026 programme will centre on experience-led events designed to spark fresh thinking, encourage participation and explore climate action through new lenses, creating space for ideas, creativity and collaboration.
Through the Festival, the Fleet Street Quarter aims to help businesses in the area and beyond accelerate their efforts to transition to net zero.

OUR HERITAGE FUTURES: THE WALKING STORY OF FLEET STREET QUARTER

WEDNESDAY 24TH
CLIMATE CLARITY WORKSHOP
9.00am-12.00pm | Workspace, 160 Fleet Street
While all sectors need to reduce their emissions, the tech sector’s carbon footprint is ballooning. This workshop will explore the whole supply chain and infrastructure behind our digital lives, helping participants better understand both the positives and negatives of technology so we can make more informed choices about how we engage with it.
THE COALITION BUILDER: FROM REFLECTIONS TO OUTCOMES
4.00pm-8.00pm | Barings, 20 Old Bailey
This closing session brings together leaders from across business, finance, policy and place to reflect on the key themes emerging from the festival and focus on how these can be taken forward in practice.
Designed as a collaborative roundtable, participants will work in small, facilitated groups, drawing on a range of perspectives to explore where progress can be made collectively, and what that requires in reality. The focus is on open, practical discussion, grounded in delivery rather than theory.
THURSDAY 25TH
HEART OF THE CITY WORKSHOP: HOW TO COLLABORATE ACROSS THE SUPPLY CHAIN
10.00am-11.30am | Hyatt Regency London Blackfriars
This interactive 90-minute workshop, delivered by Heart of the City in partnership with Fleet Street Quarter as part of London Climate Action Week, brings together SMEs and corporates for practical conversations about the business case for responsible business and the importance of collaboration across the supply chain for unlocking progress on sustainability and social impact.
