The UK has just recorded its hottest May on record — a reminder of the changing climate we’re experiencing. 🌡️
🌍🌱 World Environment Day 2026 is a call to listen to the urgent signals our planet is sending:
🔥 Heat. 🌊 Floods. 🌵 Drought.
More frequent. More intense.
And a call to focus on solutions. This year, @UNEP's global campaign calls on all of us to act #NowForClimate.
At IP Group, we back science-led innovation tackling some of the toughest climate challenges. That includes portfolio companies like:
✈️ @OXCCU_Tech , transforming waste carbon into sustainable aviation fuel, chemicals & plastics
⚡ @HysataH2, whose technology aims to unlock low-cost green hydrogen
🌍 Mantle8, advancing the commercial viability of natural hydrogen
❄️ Barocal, developing solid-state heating and cooling technology
Because meaningful climate action depends on turning breakthrough science into real-world solutions — and doing it now.
