Climate change can be mastered!

Climate change is high on the agenda. Humanity is struggling to solve problems of our own making. There is every reason to take an open view of our ability to innovate and change as well as learn from the past. To act constructively.

Meet John Hassler, prof Stockholm University Climate economics, Nobel Committee, Zeynep N. Karahman from The SHIFT Project- How Scientists and 22 000 volunteers holistically prepare French society for CO2 Zero future and Christer Fuglesang, prof Space travel, KTH and astronaut– climate insurance solutions must be equitable, sustainable and possible to inactivate. Space can offer that, and you can help!

We can absolutely do it!

Join us for a very special one day event where we gather to focus fully on solutions to the challenges we as humans face as a result of climate change. This is not your ordinary conference. In fact, if there is one event not to miss this autumn, it is this one.
You get to interact with and listen to world leading experts, thought leaders, gatekeepers, policy makers and visionaries at top level within the fields of climate, sustainability, tech and space. Be ready to expand your mind and open up for new thought provoking, innovative ideas and perspectives. You will leave with strategies, tools, new connections and a supportive network to help you navigate the coming years with more clarity and a renewed sense of hope.
After all – where attention goes energy flows, so let’s come together and co-create the future we wish to see. Together!
