Ben Rubin delivers a short introduction to the climate change agenda, where it came from, how it’s developed over time, and some of the key organisations and individuals at a global and national level driving the agenda forwards.

He then reports on the May 2026 Innovation Zero World Congress event, which took place in London.

The report includes commentary on some of the companies exhibiting at the show, as well as the stellar cast of politicians, civil servants, industrialists, and financiers speaking on the main stage.

He concludes by highlighting a number of related organisations who are working to progress the climate agenda behind the scenes across British society and further afield.
