SEforALL to advocate for accelerated action on energy transition at London Climate Action Week
Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) is a Supporting Partner of the eighth edition of the London Climate Action Week (LCAW), taking place in London, UK, from 20 to 28 June 2026. This year's gathering is a pivotal opportunity to accelerate global climate action on the path to the High-Level Political Forum, UNGA81 and COP31.
As energy security becomes more central to increasingly complex geopolitics, trade and bilateral relations, LCAW has become a pre-eminent forum to discuss and build the cooperation for progress and action.
As a Supporting Partner, SEforALL will use LCAW 2026 to advocate for greater action and investment to close energy access gaps, increase commitments to just energy transitions and accelerate clean energy deployment. To achieve our objectives, we will showcase innovative solutions such as green industrialization, Energy Compacts and energy transition and investment roadmaps championed by SEforALL and the greater UN system.
At LCAW 2026, we will showcase ambition, engage the right partners to leverage innovative financing solutions to bridge the energy access gap, accelerate the clean energy transition and amplify the call to action to leave no one behind.
Led by SEforALL's CEO, Damilola Ogunbiyi, our team will host a series of co-hosted events (solution hubs) across London. While our sessions are by invitation, we'll share highlights and outcomes across our social media channels throughout LCAW 2026.
Here are the key engagements SEforALL is involved in during LCAW 2026:
