Maintaining Momentum in Climate Change Leadership: Networking and energizing Conference Hub bringing together policy makers, academics, campaigners, writers & scientists.
Join us for a day of (virtual) panels, discussions, and exhibition stands bringing together a variety of climate change actors, as we work together to ensure that climate stays top of everyone’s agenda amid a postponed COP26!
With the need for immediate climate action stronger than ever, we are bringing together actors from civil society, politics, activism, and academia to determine what climate leadership looks like in 2020 and what strategies, messages, and objectives will propel us forward.
This Green European Foundation event is run with the support of the Green Economics Institute. The Green Economics Institute are an official climate partner of the United Nations Climate Initiative and will share with participants the latest climate science, data and actions necessary for our survival and to maintain momentum and climate leadership.
