June 2025 is shaping up to be a milestone month for global climate ambition. As momentum builds towards COP30, a series of major climate events will bring together governments, businesses, researchers and civil society to accelerate progress on climate commitments, energy transition, finance, innovation and corporate accountability.
NewClimate Institute will be actively engaged throughout the month – sharing the latest insights, contributing to key discussions and launching new research to support evidence-based climate action. We’ve put together an overview of our most relevant work and contributions to events, grouped by key thematic areas that reflect our contributions to the global climate agenda. Follow us on social media (LinkedIn/Bluesky) to stay up to date with our activities throughout June.
Corporate climate responsibility
Relevant work:
- Corporate Climate Responsibility Monitor 2025 (launching soon)
NewClimate will contribute to a panel discussion at London Climate Action Week, exploring how fashion companies are aligning with – or falling short of – science-aligned climate strategies across their value chains. During the session, our expert Frederic Hans will present key findings from the upcoming 2025 Corporate Climate Responsibility Monitor (CCRM) fashion sector analysis. The event will also mark the launch of the tech sector analysis, with the full report to be released in July.
