Climate Change Summit

It’s not easy to capture the essence of such a great event and share it with the world, but we think that our aftermovie does a pretty good job.🌱 It was such an amazing journey and we are so grateful that we could see it unfold right before our eyes. We can’t thank you enough for being part of this wonderful and important climate program! See you in 2025? 🌍 #ClimateChangeSummit #Sustainability #green #BetterTogether #GreenTech #ClimateAction #GreenInnovation #CCS2024 #Future #BRD #SIS #SocialInnovationSolutions #CCS2025 #aftermovie

🌿 Adapting Through Nature 🌍 Throwback to October 16th, when WWF hosted the side event "Nature-Based Solutions for Climate Change Adaptation" at Point. With Håkan Tropp, COO at Stockholm Institute for Water, as a key speaker, the event tackled the pressing risks freshwater ecosystems face from "business as usual". Experts shared practical examples of how companies can adopt nature-based solutions to enhance resilience, conserve biodiversity, and drive sustainable growth. A powerful reminder that businesses and nature can truly thrive together. 🌱 #ClimateChangeSummit #Sustainability #BetterTogether #GreenTech #ClimateAction #NatureBasedSolutions #Biodiversity #GreenInnovation

Climate Change Summit reaches far and wide. We already told you that this year it will go beyond the limits of Bucharest and even Romania. With the side event Ljubljana Debrief - Climate Change Summit organised by Circular Change, it has arrived at its farthest point yet. Ladeja Godina Košir, Founder and Executive Director of Circular Change and important guest of Climate Change Summit 2024 took our message to the Capital of Slovenia and presented the key takeaway from this year’s event. Who knows where our Summit will reach next year? #ClimateChangeSummit #Sustainability #green #BetterTogether #GreenTech #ClimateAction #GreenInnovation #CCS2024 #Future #BRD #SIS #SocialInnovationSolutions #Ljubljana #Slovenia

Looking back at what we achieved together we can see that there still is a long road ahead of us. It may look impossible, but as humanity demonstrated time and time again, one of our main qualities is going through adversity united in our goals. We are very thankful for everything that happened at Climate Change Summit 2024, but we are even more excited for what’s to come. Because what is courage if not facing an uncertain future with a lot of optimism? Stay close to #CCS and become a drop that can turn the tide. #ClimateChangeSummit #Sustainability #green #BetterTogether #GreenTech #ClimateAction #GreenInnovation #CCS2024 #Future #BRD #SIS #SocialInnovationSolutions

For those of you who attended, you could feel the atmosphere and the bustle within our event, but now we also have some numbers to make it even more clear. Just have a look at what we did this year: We had 3 days with two stages, where over 75 speakers shared their ideas and solutions for all the world to see. But we didn’t stop there, because there were also more than 30 side events all around Romania and beyond, that couldn’t been possible without our +100 partners. And everything was witnessed by over 1600 offline participants, but also by many people online, given that we had more than 1.3 million views overall. Those are some great numbers. But numbers don’t tell the whole story, because the energy that was unveiled at Climate Change Summit will ripple its effects for years to come! #ClimateChangeSummit #Sustainability #green #BetterTogether #GreenTech #ClimateAction #GreenInnovation #CCS2024 #Future #BRD #SIS #SocialInnovationSolutions

Tables are meant for so much more than just being a space where you can put down different things. They have the magical quality of bringing people together around it. And if food is involved, you can bet that even the smallest event becomes a big part of building a community. We want to thank BRD - Groupe Societe Generale and Rezidența9 for making ”The Sustainable Communitary Meal” a reality during CCS2024. We also want to thank IKI KIZ KITCHEN for the lovely food and everybody for being part of a day to remember! #ClimateChangeSummit #Sustainability #green #BetterTogether #GreenTech #ClimateAction #GreenInnovation #CCS2024 #Future #BRD #SIS #SocialInnovationSolutions #sideevents #CinaComunitara

When it comes to the fight against climate change, a green belt is the best belt to wear. In the not-so-distant-future, the Bucharest-Ilfov area will be the home of a green belt, a cornerstone project for the sustainable future of our city and its surroundings. The master plan kicked off on 21st of October and started with a stroll through the Vlăsia Woods, the remnants of the great wilderness that once stretched from the Danube to the Mountains. #ClimateChangeSummit #Sustainability #green #BetterTogether #GreenTech #ClimateAction #GreenInnovation #CCS2024 #Future #BRD #SIS #SocialInnovationSolutions #sideevents #CenturaVerde

Real change doesn’t happen in a bubble, but in real life. This is why it is so important that we stay close to the action and witness the best practices of our partners. We had the opportunity of paying a few visits to Danone and IKEA to find out how they are stepping up their sustainability game, whether we are talking about sustainable supply chains or making circularity a goal. Thank you Danone and IKEA for being so open for us and our participants! #ClimateChangeSummit #Sustainability #green #BetterTogether #GreenTech #ClimateAction #GreenInnovation #CCS2024 #Future #BRD #SIS #SocialInnovationSolutions #sideevents #Ikea #Danone

Let’s take a walk on memory lane and rediscover what day 3 of Climate Change Summit 2024 looked like! While CEE Climate Connect was going strong at The Representation of the European Commission in Bucharest, other equally important Side Events were happening, such as Beyond “Energy Efficiency First” or a roundtable on Sustainable Leadership led by Jørn Haanæs, and walking the walk through nature is always special. A greener future may be our goal, but let’s not forget about the green present!🌱 So the slow walk around Petricani Meadow really made an impression on our guests, showing the way nature can reestablish itself as a normal part of everyday life inside the big city. #ClimateChangeSummit #Sustainability #green #BetterTogether #GreenTech #ClimateAction #GreenInnovation #CCS2024 #Future #BRD #SIS #SocialInnovationSolutions #sideevents #nature
