The City of London hosted a climate summit on delivering net zero on Wednesday, 24 May.

Speakers included Bank of England chief Andrew Bailey and Egyptian foreign minister, Cop27 President Sameh Shoukry

The event also featured a panel discussion on "channelling green finance to emerging markets for a just transition" and a fireside chat on "policy mechanisms to mobilise finance."

The City of London Corporation says it has adopted a "radical" climate action strategy which breaks new ground and sets out how the government agency will "achieve net zero, build climate resilience and champion sustainable growth" over the next 20 years.

It has pledged to invest £68m over the next six years in pursuit of these goals.
