A one-day summit to inspire action and collaboration in tackling the climate crisis.
After the huge success of our the Sustainability Club, I curated a 1 day summit of insightful and informative talks covering the Science behind Tipping Points, the World's first Green Pensions Charter, Material Innovation, Sustainable Marketing, what we can learn from Indigenous communities and Youth Climate Action, and much more.
We over 350 attendees, we celebrated the work of those already making progress, shone a light on where we're at now and discussed what still needs to be done to combat the climate crisis.
