SUMMARY:Bursting the Climate Bubble
DESCRIPTION:A lively\, interactive session on building broader\, braver and more unexpected coalitions for climate action.\n\n\n\nClimate events often bring together the same people\, saying the same things\, to people who already agree. \n\n\n\nIf we are serious about climate action\, we need to break out of the bubble and ask: who is missing\, who has the power to shift things\, and how do we build coalitions that actually move the needle? \n\n\n\nHosted by Climate KIC Community\, B Lab and Metta\, this session is all about connecting beyond the usual climate crowd. We’ll explore how businesses\, corporates\, community organisations\, creatives\, campaigners\, policymakers and other less obvious allies can work together more responsibly\, more bravely and more effectively. \n\n\n\nWhat you’ll get from the session:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA sharper look at who is in the climate room\, who is missing and why that matters\n\n\n\nHonest provocations on power\, credibility and responsibility in collective action\n\n\n\nFast\, facilitated networking to help you meet unexpected allies\n\n\n\nPractical ideas for building coalitions that are broader\, braver and less boring\n\n\n\nSpace to challenge assumptions\, swap perspectives and escape the climate echo chamber\n\n\n\nLight catering\, good conversations and hopefully zero performative networking\n\n\n\n\nCome ready to burst the bubble\, meet unlikely allies and rethink who climate action is really for. Most importantly\, come ready to share what you can offer and what you are looking for. \n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\nDavid Watt\, Community Lead\, Climate KIC\n\n\n\nIrving Chan-Gomez\, Strategic Partnerships\, B Lab\n\n\n\nGabriella Hernandez\, Head of Communications\, Metta\n\n\n\n\nThis session is part of the Green Skills Festival\, a London Climate Action Week-affiliated initiative. Read more about the Festival below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the organiser\n\n\n\nClimate KIC is Europe’s leading climate innovation agency and community\, creating climate-resilient communities and fighting climate breakdown by mobilising systems change in countries\, regions\, cities\, and businesses. Together with partners across the globe\, Climate KIC orchestrates solutions and facilitates learning to bridge the gap between climate commitments and current reality\, driving faster and more ambitious action.  \n\n\n\nContributing organisations\n\n\n\nB Lab is the nonprofit organisation behind B Corp Certification.

SUMMARY:Orientations for a Shared Horizon: East-West Learning in a Time of Climate Transition
DESCRIPTION:The session explores how Asia–Europe relationships can be reimagined in a time of global uncertainty\, geopolitical fragmentation\, and the emergence of well-being economies.  \n\n\n\nThe panel will open the dialogue with speakers from Asia and Europe sharing practical experiences and reflections on what helps societies work better together across regions. It will touch on ideas like care\, love\, and learning from different cultural traditions and ways of living.  \n\n\n\nThe second half of the session moves into facilitated small-group conversations\, where participants will actively engage and explore the themes together.  \n\n\n\nIt’s designed to spark new thinking\, build meaningful connections\, and surface practical examples of collaboration that can inspire future action. Participants will leave with fresh perspectives\, cross-regional connections\, and ideas they can apply in their own organisations\, networks\, and communities. \n\n\n\nWho is this session for?\n\n\n\nThe event would benefit from a deliberately mixed group\, including: \n\n\n\n\nClimate and systems practitioners from Asia and Europe\n\n\n\nPhilanthropy\, finance\, and well-being economy actors\n\n\n\nIndigenous\, cultural\, and movement-based knowledge holders\n\n\n\nFacilitators\, storytellers\, and bridge-builders working across regions or traditions\n\n\n\nPolicymakers and conveners interested in new forms of international cooperation\n\n\n\n\nKey speakers\n\n\n\n\nKirsten Dunlop\, CEO of Climate KIC\n\n\n\nLeo Horn-Phathanothai\, Founder and Convenor\, Bangkok Climate Action Week\n\n\n\nTheo Mitchell\, Global Director Climate\, Children’s Investment Fund Foundation\n\n\n\nSumitra Pasupathy\, Co-Founder\, Philanthropy Dialogues\n\n\n\nNaina Subberwal Batra\, CEO of AVPN \n\n\n\nLuis Alvarado Martinez\, CEO of No. 17 Foundation\n\n\n\n\nThis session is part of the Green Skills Festival\, a London Climate Action Week-affiliated initiative.

SUMMARY:The Emerging Civic Leadership Archetype
DESCRIPTION:There is a new generation of civic leadership emerging across the world. In their new playbook\, From Solutions to Adoption\, HERO analyzed over 180 civic-led wins across 30 countries to understand what it takes for citizen-led initiatives to move from proof of concept into law\, policy and institutions\, and what kinds of civic leadership make that happen in today’s polarised world. \n\n\n\nJoin us to discover evidence\, dive into a case study from a civic leader\, and participate in a frank panel conversation about what civic leadership needs to deliver at scale. \n\n\n\nWhat to expect:\n\n\n\n\nPatterns and insights from HERO’s Playbook on how citizen-led initiatives scale from pilot to systemic policy.\n\n\n\nA case study from Kalpana Arias on London’s Citizens’ Assemblies for Food and Nature (Play)\, where residents\, growers and organisers are shaping borough by borough proposals feeding into the Greater London Authority’s environmental plan.\n\n\n\nA panel discussion on the qualities\, skills and support this emerging generation of civic leaders needs\, and what that implies for funders\, city teams and think tanks.\n\n\n\n\nThis session is for you if you work in:\n\n\n\n\nCivic leadership on climate\, democracy or city-level change;\n\n\n\nFoundations\, city teams or intermediary organisations looking to embed participation and mobilisation in their climate work; or\n\n\n\nThink tanks connecting citizen-led initiatives with public policy.\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers and Panellists include:\n\n\n\n\nKalpana Arias\, Play (Citizens’ Assemblies for Food and Nature\, London)\n\n\n\nSylvain Ferrière\, HERO\n\n\n\nAnthony Zacharzewski\, Democratic Society\n\n\n\nSolla Zophoniasdottir\, Climate KIC\n\n\n\nYiannis Chrysostomidis\, Reos Partners\n\n\n\n\nThis session is hosted by The Collaborative for Systemic Climate Action and presented by HERO. It is part of the Green Skills Festival\, a London Climate Action Week-affiliated initiative. Read more about the Festival below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the organisers\n\n\n\nThe Collaborative for Systemic Climate Action is a unique alliance of 27 globally active implementing partners and trusted funding partners resourcing the bold systemic action this moment demands. We have made an intentional commitment to overcome the fragmentation and competition that all too often undermine climate action by working together\, pooling resources and reimagining how solutions are designed\, financed and delivered. HERO\, Democratic Society and Climate KIC are members of the Collaborative. \n\n\n\nHERO is building a global infrastructure for civic leadership (supporting over 200 leaders in 30 countries through Circles)\, DemSoc helps governments and cities listen to people and involve them directly in climate decisions\, and both are partners in The Collaborative for Systemic Climate Action working together on the civic‑infrastructure part of that alliance – strengthening participation\, mobilisation and democratic processes as a core pillar of systemic climate action. \n\n\n\nAbout the Green Skills Festival\n\n\n\nAs part of London Climate Action Week 2026\, Climate KIC and Kite Insights\, with The Collaborative for Systemic Climate Action and invited partners\, are convening the Green Skills Festival.

SUMMARY:Beyond the Course: How to build a future-ready workforce that delivers on change
DESCRIPTION:The organisations making real progress on their climate targets aren’t just better at training their people. They are better at creating the conditions for success\, enabling learning that translates into action. \n\n\n\nMost corporate sustainability programmes skip straight to the course\, neglecting to design for what will make the training actually stick. \n\n\n\nIn this session\, Kite Insights and Climate KIC will show you what the organisations getting this right are doing differently: a more complete approach to workforce engagement that addresses what happens before and after the training intervention that determines whether learning lands or evaporates. \n\n\n\nWe will cover:\n\n\n\n\nKite Insight’s four-stage engagement framework — Measure\, Engage\, Educate\, Sustain \n\n\n\nExamples in practice: drawing from Climate KIC’s work supporting leaders develop skills for uncertainty\, including navigating towards shared goals\, building cultures of experimentation\, and creating the conditions for innovation to take root inside large\, complex organisations.\n\n\n\n\nYou’ll leave with:\n\n\n\n\nA clear-eyed view of where your engagement strategy is breaking down and at least one concrete fix you can act on immediately. \n\n\n\nA better understanding of how to transform organisational complexity from a blocker into a source of innovation and business opportunity.\n\n\n\n\nIf your organisation is serious about turning ambition into action\, this is where to start. \n\n\n\nWho is the session for:\n\n\n\nThis session is for sustainability practitioners working in large companies who are responsible for sustainability training initiatives and ESG/NetZero strategy design.  The session will also be relevant to other functions that engage with or run effective sustainability training programmes\, including L&D and HR\, the Greater London Authority and the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry. \n\n\n\nThis session is hosted by The Collaborative for Systemic Climate Action and presented by Kite Insights and Climate KIC. It is part of the Green Skills Festival\, a London Climate Action Week-affiliated initiative.

SUMMARY:Investing in nature-positive futures: Innovation and place-based finance for bioeconomy and systems change
DESCRIPTION:The transition to a nature-positive economy cannot be driven by technological innovation and capital alone. It also depends on the social fabric that enables communities\, institutions and regions to innovate together. This workshop\, organised by Climate KIC and a partner event of the EU Green Week\, brings together three interdependent themes to explore how widely understood innovation becomes a catalyst for systemic change and mutually reinforcing transformation dynamics. \n\n\n\nFirst\, bioeconomy is a systemic opportunity and emerging industry with high potential to boost EU competitiveness. Moving beyond siloed sectors\, we examine how bio-based value chains can be redesigned at regional and landscape level\, integrating ecological regeneration with economic viability. Drawing on systems innovation experience as a form of social institution-building\, participants will explore how multi-actor coalitions shift the rules\, relationships and mental models that currently lock in unsustainable resource use\, forming the foundational layer for building new financial and innovation approaches. \n\n\n\nSecond\, Place-Based Finance Labs are an innovation instrument to deliver on topics such as the bioeconomy. We showcase how tailor-made financial mechanisms – co-designed with local governments\, communities and investors – unlock capital for nature-positive projects. These labs embody multilevel governance\, aligning EU policy frameworks with national programmes and sub-regional realities so that investments can flow where transformation is actually happening. \n\n\n\nThird\, innovation in its widest sense\, and as an expression of social capital. Through concrete impact stories\, we illustrate the full spectrum of innovation: technological\, business model\, social and policy – already benefiting nature\, people and the economy. Framed through multi-level perspectives on socio-technical transitions\, the stories demonstrate how place-based experiments\, supported by the right social networks and institutional conditions\, can challenge and reshape current systems\, thereby closing the loop between systemic opportunity (bioeconomy) and enabling mechanisms (finance and innovation)\, delivering real-world transformation. \n\n\n\nFormat & objectives\n\n\n\nThis workshop will bring together practitioners\, policymakers\, investors\, regional actors and innovators to explore how bioeconomy\, place-based finance and systems innovation can accelerate nature-positive transformation across Europe. \n\n\n\nThe event will also help inform our position to give feedback on Biotech Act I and as part of a submission to the upcoming call for evidence on Biotech Act II. Your contribution is fundamental to shaping policy in the right direction at European level. Join us and let your voice be heard! \n\n\n\nParticipants will:\n\n\n\n\nExplore bioeconomy as a systemic opportunity for EU competitiveness and regional regeneration.\n\n\n\nLearn how Place-Based Finance Labs can unlock capital for nature-positive projects.\n\n\n\nHear practical impact stories from technological\, social\, business model and policy innovation.\n\n\n\nIdentify governance\, investment and policy conditions needed to scale nature-positive innovation.\n\n\n\n\nThe event will be in a hybrid format\, allowing participation either in-person in our office in Bruxelles (details below) or online. \n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\nDenyse Julien\, Climate KIC\, Ireland’s Deep Demonstration for the transition to a climate-neutral agri-food sector\n\n\n\nNessa Noronha\, University College Dublin\, TRANSFORM project\n\n\n\nPiotr Jurga\, Institute of Soil Science and Plant Cultivation (IUNG-PIB)\, BIOEASTWIDE\n\n\n\nSeán Douglas\, BiOrbic\n\n\n\nDamien O’Reilly\, Irish Co-operative Organisation Society (ICOS)\n\n\n\nTamara Giltsoff\, Climate KIC\, Place Finance Lab initiative\n\n\n\nKirsten Dunlop\, CEO of Climate KIC\n\n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\n10:00 – 10:20 Opening and framing with Keynote from Dr. Kirsten Dunlop (CEO\, Climate KIC) \n\n\n\n10:20 – 10:45 Storytelling\, round one — How transformation begins \n\n\n\n10:45 – 11:30 Group discussion \n\n\n\n11:30 – 11:45 Storytelling\, round two — How transformation scales12:10 – 12:55 Group discussion \n\n\n\n12:55 – 13:00 Closing reflections and next steps \n\n\n\n13:00 Lunch & networking \n\n\n\nSeats are limited – Register below!

SUMMARY:SILP Learning Festival 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Systems Innovation Learning Partnership\, a collaboration between the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) and Climate KIC\, is back with a new edition of the Learning Festival. \n\n\n\nThe Learning Festival is an invitation to pause\, learn together and make sense of reality without collapsing into urgency\, oversimplification or performance. \n\n\n\nAcross three days\, we’ll explore how narratives\, funding practices and collective learning shape what becomes possible in complex systems.To help us process reality in all it’s heaviness\, we’re inviting a comedian to accompany us in the festival to remind us that humour can be the most honest form of being with such harsh realities. \n\n\n\nDay 1: Climate narratives in action: Attention\, trust\, and imagining alternative futures\n\n\n\nTuesday 10th March 10-12.30 CET \n\n\n\nWith backtracking climate commitments\, shrinking budgets and shifting geopolitical tensions\, it can feel so difficult to reach the people needed for meaningful\, global climate action. \n\n\n\nYet climate narratives continue to travel through mainstream routes like Hollywood and through quieter\, less obvious pathways like choirs\, communities and culture. \n\n\n\nDay 1 invites you into a kaleidoscopic exploration of climate narratives: where they come from\, how they shape attention and trust\, and how they open (or close) our ability to imagine alternative futures. \n\n\n\nWith conversation partners from diverse spaces\, we’ll explore how different forms of storytelling and inherited narratives are being used to: \n\n\n\n\nCapture attention\n\n\n\nShape attitudes and behaviour\n\n\n\nIllustrate possible futures\n\n\n\nCreate momentum for climate action\n\n\n\n\nThis is a space to pause the churn of urgency\, question what stories are doing in the world\, and reflect on the responsibility we carry in the narratives we amplify. \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\n\n\n\nDay 2: In-between Spaces: Intermediaries rethinking funding practices\n\n\n\nWednesday 11th March 10-12.30 CETIf you’re holding relationships that don’t neatly align\, translating between languages that don’t quite match\, expected to deliver certainty in situations defined by uncertainty. Accountable to multiple worlds of funders\, communities\, institutions all with different incentives\, timelines\, and definitions of success. \n\n\n\nThis is the work of being in-between. \n\n\n\nDay 2 marks the launch of the Rethinking Intermediaries Series report — a learning paper emerging from shared inquiry with intermediary funders and ecosystem support organisations navigating this in-between space. \n\n\n\nTogether\, we’ll explore live examples of experimental practice spaces in funding and relational work\, opening honest conversations about: \n\n\n\n\nThe challenges of working across worlds\n\n\n\nWhat experimentation looks like in practice\n\n\n\nHow intermediaries are finding new ways to work with complexity\n\n\n\n\nThis day is designed as a learning space… not to resolve tension but to understand it more deeply. \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\n\n\n\nDay 3: Systems Innovation Learning Horizons (Closed Group)\n\n\n\nThursday 12th March 10.00-13.00 CET \n\n\n\nThe 2026 SILP Learning Festival will close the current lifecycle of the SILP programme. \n\n\n\nDay 3 will see an invitation-only gathering of some of Climate KIC’s closest partners and collaborators\, and some new friends\, come together in an intentional space to pause and reflect on what we are collectively learning about working in\, with\, and on complex systems. \n\n\n\nTogether\, we will: \n\n\n\n\nReflect on emerging insights from systems innovation practice\n\n\n\nShare live learning and challenges from our own work\n\n\n\nExplore the evolving landscape of systems innovation\n\n\n\nSurface collective needs and opportunities for future learning\n\n\n\n\nThis is a space for honest sense-making\, shared reflection and imagining what learning horizons might come next. \n\n\n\nIf you would like to be a part of this closed group\, please email jessamy.hardie@climate-kic.org (and cc will@orbitallearning.io)
