London Climate Action Week, taking place online from 26 June to 4 July, is a great chance to create momentum behind proven and effective climate solutions. Ashden and partners will be running a host of free events highlighting low-carbon innovation in areas such schools, home retrofit, council procurement and community engagement, and sustainable cold chain
