This year’s IKEM Academy will reframe our climate future, shifting the focus away from doom scenarios and onto positive narratives that inspire and engage. This will be brought to life with real-life practices, policy and projects that accelerate the energy transition, while empowering and inspiring more people to join the climate movement.
What’s on the Agenda in 2024
The four-day programme reframes essential building blocks of climate action and energy transition around a narrative of opportunity, possibility and empowerment through participatory workshops, energy site visits, networking dinners, panel discussions and seminars. As a participant, you will collaborate with other experts from the sustainability field as you:
- Apply principles of design-thinking to build a sustainable city
- Visit renewable-energy sites to see how local solutions contribute to global climate action
- Learn how climate action, equality and diversity strengthen one another
- Deep dive into green-tech breakthroughs that can help us reach our climate goals
- Discuss how transnational collaboration can accelerate decarbonisation
- Imagine new communication tools to draw everyone into the climate conversation
