A Decisive Moment for Climate Action
Ten years after the launch of the Sustainable Development Goals, the Paris Agreement, and Pope Francis’ Laudato Si’, we stand at a pivotal crossroads: accelerate climate action or lose the chance to regenerate our planet. Climate change is not just about science and politics—it’s about people, communities taking action, young leaders mobilizing, and innovators reimagining the future.
In response to this urgency, the Future Food Institute and The Social Hub are joining forces to ignite a meaningful dialogue on the future of climate action—led by those who are shaping it every day.
Who Are the Climate Shapers?
From explorers and activists to policymakers and young changemakers, this event will bring together visionary voices who are pioneering solutions for a more sustainable future. Through education, innovation, and community engagement, they are leading the transformation towards a regenerative planet.
During the event, we will unveil the Climate Shapers Program 2025, an ambitious initiative aiming to train 1,000 new climate leaders each year—equipping them with systemic skills, innovation-driven approaches, and a deep commitment to sustainability.
