The last point is that London Climate Action Week is really the big event on climate finance.
It's a little bit complementary with what we call the Conference of Parties that happen usually in December, the so-called COPs.
In a nutshell, COP is where the rules are negotiated, where the political agenda on climate is agreed, and London Climate Action Week is... is becoming the forum where the implementation of those rules are discussed.
So COP set up the direction of travel while the London Climate Action Week finds the way to reach the goals on how to finance the direction of travel.
