Recap: TTI during London Climate Action Week

Catalyzing Capital for Planetary Regeneration

During London Climate Action Week 2025, we brought together top asset managers, family offices, corporates, and innovators to accelerate investments into the solutions our planet urgently needs.

🏙️ Hosted in partnership with Orrick at their London offices, our sessions created a dynamic space for high-level discussions on energy transition, nature-based solutions, and AI’s potential to drive systemic change across industries.

Event Highlights

The TTI Energy Transition & Geopolitics Panel explored global shifts in energy infrastructure and policy. With insights from leaders from Terra Praxis, Meld Energy, and Carbon13, the session illuminated the technological and geopolitical levers shaping the decarbonization agenda.

The Nature-Based Solutions Panel, moderated by Alessa Berg, emphasized the urgency of scaling natural capital strategies. Speakers from the Bezos Earth Fund, Conservation International, and GIST Impact unpacked how biodiversity, ecosystem restoration, and regenerative finance models are becoming central to institutional portfolios.

Closing the day, the AI & the Planet Panel showcased the transformative potential of artificial intelligence in accelerating planetary regeneration. From climate data and infrastructure optimization to ethical deployment, experts from Clarity AI, earthena.ai, and National Grid underscored AI’s growing role in sustainability.
