Bringing global industry leaders for a round table focused on building a regenerative, resilient, and responsible future…
National, June 2026 — As London Climate Action Week 2026 got underway, Women Inspiring Network (WIN), in collaboration with Goals House, convened an exclusive, invitation-only breakfast round table with global leaders from business, finance, sustainability, technology and policy on June 22 in the UK.
Centered on the theme, Capital, Culture & Climate: Rewiring Influence for a Regenerative Future the conversation explored how leadership, investment and collective action can identify tangible opportunities for collaboration, innovation and long-term value creation in an increasingly complex world.
Recognised as one of the world’s most influential climate gatherings, London Climate Action Week (LCAW) serves as a global platform for leaders across business, policy, investment, entrepreneurship and innovation to advance climate solutions and drive collective action.
Hosted and moderated by Stuti Jalan, Founder of Women Inspiring Network, the round table opened with keynote remarks from Uday Khemka, Managing Trustee, The Nand & Jeet Khemka Foundation, and Vice Chairman, SUN Group, who reflected on the role of investment, clean energy, mobility and long-term partnerships in accelerating climate progress. Throughout the discussion, participants explored how organisations can translate climate ambition into measurable action and build resilience through innovation, leadership and cross-sector collaboration.
Speaking at WIN Talks during London Climate Action Week 2026, Uday Khemka, Managing Trustee, The Nand & Jeet Khemka Foundation, and Vice Chairman, SUN Group, said:
“We live in an unsustainable society that puts forward the untruth that overconsumption allows us to be happy and through that destroys the planet. We’re not going to make it only with technocratic solutions like solar and wind and AI. We must have a spiritual revolution to return to what we know is true, that human happiness is about simple things and that we, to quote Gandhi, have enough for everyone’s need but not enough for everyone’s greed.
And that is the excitement. We have truth on our side, the truth of 5,000 years in all civilizations. That’s the excitement that allows us to bring a cultural lens to this great wall of compassion”.
Speaking about WIN’s engagement at London Climate Action Week 2026, Stuti Jalan, Founder & Curator, Women Inspiring Network (WIN), said:
“Climate conversations become meaningful only when different perspectives come together. Through WIN Talks, we wanted to create a space where leaders could openly exchange ideas, challenge assumptions and explore practical ways to drive long-term impact. What stood out today was the shared belief that climate action is no longer separate from business, innovation and leadership.”
The round table featured a distinguished group of leaders who brought diverse perspectives to the conversation. Charlotte Kirby, Vice President, Global Strategic Relations, ServiceNow, explored how digital innovation and AI can accelerate climate action while delivering measurable business outcomes and creating long-term societal value. Dimitris Manikis, President, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, shared how hospitality is redefining success through sustainability and how the industry can balance growth with responsibility. Dr Watceilia Varso, Founder & CEO | Practice Vision-The Art of Reengineering, reflected on why climate is equally a leadership challenge and highlighted the importance of behavioural transformation and adaptive leadership in times of uncertainty. Stephanie Speck, Global Director, Strategic Partnerships, Engagement and Communication, Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT, focused on nature-positive growth and discussed how businesses and investors can create value while embedding biodiversity and long-term resilience into decision-making.
Attending the round table were global leaders from Deloitte, Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team, CDP, Formula E, Modi Group, Smartworld Developers, Frontier Markets, New Zealand Climate Foundation, and others.
Beyond WIN Talks, Stuti Jalan, Founder and Curator, Women Inspiring Network, also joined an invite-only roundtable hosted with Ashden on Building Climate Resilience for Women Farmers. The discussion focused on scaling gender-smart climate insurance, strengthening partnerships and accelerating climate resilience for women across emerging markets.
Stuti also attended the official opening reception of London Climate Action Week hosted by Goals House in partnership with Bloomberg Philanthropies and Wellcome Trust at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. The gathering brought together global leaders across business, policy and philanthropy to set the tone for the week and reaffirm a shared commitment towards climate action.
The conversation closed with a shared understanding that climate action can no longer sit in isolation. Leadership, investment and innovation must move together to create meaningful and lasting change.
