We face an urgent need for visionary climate leaders. Addressing climate and economic challenges starts with bright innovative minds who have the guts to get out of their comfort zone. During our Climate Innovation Experience, you will be inspired by experts including Bernice Notenboom, Renee Lertzman, Climate Award Winners and Climate Leaders of the Future.
You are warmly invited to our event on Thursday 23 November 2017. It presents an opportunity to get tips and tricks on how to become a climate leader, and to meet start-ups, front runners and innovators working to address the climate challenge, all in one day!
