Panel Two, 10 am CET - “An Introduction into planetgroups - How we drive the Corporate Climate Transformation from within”

Everyone can be part of the solution – in every job! Together with representatives of our existing planetgroups we will share with you how our planet process works, give you a tour of our PlaNet collaboration platform, and show you our Climate Solution Game and other tools.

planetgroups act as change agents in their companies.

They are guided through a thorough process in order to drive innovation and sustainability in so called “planet projects”.

Our PlaNet – collaboration platform allows for exchange and best practice learning also from planet action in other companies.

Templates and Tools (like our Climate Solution Game) make our work intuitive and entertaining.

Panel Three, 11 am CET - “It`s the Decade of Action - Why we all need to write a letter to our great-grandchildren”

This is the decisive decade of action. What we decide in the next nine years will determine what the world will look like in the next hundred. We must be very aware of the responsibility we bear for humanity.

In this interactive workshop Wim Vermeulen, one of the makers of “The Decade of Action Documentary” (www.thedecadeofaction.com), will present his campaign and ask the participants to join Paul Polman and many others in writing a letter to their great-grandchildren. It`s a great way to get focused.

Panel Four, noon CET - “We need system change– so how can we drive politics?”

If an asteroid was approaching the planet, we would summon all our power to prevent it from destroying our home. How can we do a better job at convincing politics that the climate crisis has to be dealt with in just the same coherent, united and decisive manner?

Panel Five, 2 pm CET - “How do we create Green Swans?”

A “Green Swan“, according to John Elkington, is "a profound market shift which delivers exponential progress in the form of economic, social, and environmental wealth creation“. The next 10 years, he forecasts, will determine whether “we now allow Black Swans to pull us down, or whether we harness Green Swan dynamics to create forms of wealth that many of today`s minds would consider improbable, or even impossible.“

In this exciting panel, John Elkington and Club of Rome member Mariana Bozesan uncover how to make Green Swans a reality. Join their conversation on how to create abundance using safe exponential tech, capital, and consciousness leadership to transition to a sustainable global society that ensures the future of life.
