In a climate crisis that disproportionately impacts the poor, it is imperative we act now to design new solutions that both address inequality and repair our damaged ecosystems.
Climate resilience is about changing a system we’ve collectively created. It means taking individual action to grow collective action and build climate resilience across communities.
We must tap into our own strengths and embrace the idea that our individual actions can make a difference. Whether you’re a leader, follower, or a contributor, the climate resilience of our people and planet depends on our collective ability to be moved by positive change.
Build Climate Resilience is a conference designed to both celebrate and inspire that positive movement. Will you join us?
The 2-day Conference is created for and inspired by the power of community.
Our events are designed to inspire hope and provide our attendees with tools, building blocks, and solutions to activate climate resilience across the globe. If you’re looking to know more, do more, or say more about climate change — this conference is for you.
Register today and prepare to grow your individual and collective role combating climate change alongside our community of social innovators.

With the ability to click a button and receive goods from across the globe within 24 hours, it’s clear our global supply chains have risen to new levels of efficiency. But at what cost? As our awareness grows about how every supply chain link’s actions have ripple effects on our environment, it is increasingly imperative to innovate within the systems that govern global trade. Join this event to hear from a panel of innovators who are shifting the antiquated systems that run the supply chains of big industry and proving how new approaches can bring radical transparency to be part of the climate change solution.
