The second annual State of Climate Politics Forum is a flagship event at London Climate Action Week. Hosted by international climate change think tank E3G, the forum will feature prominent political leaders, policymakers, climate leaders, practitioners and experts. This high-level forum draws a global audience of leaders from across politics, foreign policy, international institutions and civil society.
Context
Set at the midpoint in 2025, the State of Climate Politics Forum is a crucial platform for assessing dynamic geopolitical and political change and the progress and prospects for climate action. It invites leading voices and thinkers to engage in pivotal conversations on how to craft the politics and geopolitics necessary for climate safety at the midpoint of the critical decade for climate action.
E3G offers a unique forum to assess:
- Climate leadership from London to Belem in 2025
- Risk, resilience and science in the politics of 2025
- The implications of shifting geopolitical reality for climate geopolitics
- How the climate agenda is looking to trade, competitiveness and security
- Clean economy acceleration and shifting geoeconomics
- The public opinion case for political action vs a narrative of backlash & the populist challenge to net zero
Participants will engage in a series of keynotes, panels, and facilitated conversations. The forum aims to harness the collective expertise, sentiments, and insights of attendees and provide a moment of learning and dialogue that elevates our collective ambition beyond our current risk exposure.

Speakers include Nick Mabey OBE, E3G CEO; Ana Toni, CEO, COP30, Brazil, Tatiana Rosito (Secretary for International Affairs, Ministry of Finance, Brazil); Ole Thonke (Danish Climate Ambassador); Assad W Razzouk, CEO, Gurīn Energy; Ben Backwell (Chair, Global Renewables Alliance); Rhian-Mari Thomas (Chief Executive, Green Finance Institute); Jennifer Morgan, former German Special Representative for International Climate Policy; Stientje van Velhoven, VP & Regional Director for Europe, WRI; Eamon Ryan (former Minister for the Environment, Climate & Communications, Ireland).
