This year’s London Climate Action Week (LCAW) edition brought together over 1,000 events across 9 days, with the city gripped by a record-breaking heatwave. Our team braved the extreme weather and attended more than 30 events, engaging in conversations on climate finance, forest protection, and sustainable supply chains.

Launch of the 5th Eco Invest Brazil Auction: The path to scalable investments
BVRio Founder Pedro Moura Costa spoke at the Fifth Eco Invest Brasil Auction, held at BTG’s London office and organised by Capital for Climate (C4C), alongside institutions shaping the next generation of climate-aligned investment frameworks. The auction will allocate USD 6 billion to innovation and R&D in low-carbon technology, designed to attract foreign partners to match 45% of the capital provided by EcoInvest.
RCF featured in new WEF Report: Financing the Food Systems Transition
An estimated USD 1.1 trillion per year is needed to finance the food systems transition by 2030, yet current funding covers only about 5% of that amount. The gap, as the new World Economic Forum report argues, is not primarily a capital problem. It is a coordination problem.
On 23 June, BVRio founder Pedro Moura Costa attended the roundtable marking the launch of this report. The Responsible Commodities Facility (RCF) was featured as a central case study, highlighting how blended finance structures and stakeholder convening can unlock investment at scale.
Fishing for Litter: Ocean Plastic and Coastal Communities
Michele Migliau, Ogyre’s International Business & Operations and Lucy Cox, BVRio’s International Communications Director.
BVRio’s partner, the social enterprise Ogyre, presented at Reset Connect on 23 June, detailing the state of coastlines choked by plastic waste. Most of it is rendered unrecyclable by salt and sun exposure, yet its removal holds significant value for coastal habitats and local tourism.
BVRio coordinates Ogyre’s operations in Rio de Janeiro, where over 100 artisan fishers have already earned supplementary income through waste collection in mangrove areas. “Our operations in Brazil show how marine waste collection can support coastal habitats while also creating additional income opportunities for local artisan fishers. The solution is not only marine waste removal: it is a mix of collection, disposal, education, advocacy and strong local partnerships. Proud to keep building this impact together”. Ogyre’s sustainability manager, Francesco Notari.
