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:The double challenge: Closing the green skills gap\, changing the system
DESCRIPTION:Join this session from our partners Unearthodox for an interactive systems lab exploring how we can create the conditions for a just and regenerative transition.\n\n\n\nThe green skills gap is not only a workforce challenge. It is also a systems gap. \n\n\n\nWhile significant efforts are underway to build the skills needed for a sustainable and green transition\, it is equally important to ask what conditions\, structures\, and systems must change to enable the capabilities required for a just and regenerative transition to emerge and thrive over the long term. \n\n\n\nThis workshop session is for funders\, policymakers\, innovators\, incubation and ecosystem leaders\, systems thinkers\, and transition practitioners who are interested in shaping the conditions that enable future capabilities to take root and thrive. Through a futures-focused and participatory process\, we will explore the system conditions needed to cultivate the capabilities required for a just and regenerative transition\, and identify practical pathways for action and collaboration. \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\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: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.
