PDIE Group and Sublime Communications Launch The Future of Climate Summit
The Purpose Driven Innovation Ecosystem Group, the number one Earthshot Prize nominator, and Sublime Communications, a leading communications agency known for driving hyper growth, will kick off the first in a series of curated events designed to unite thought leaders, innovators, and investors. This seminal event, dedicated to climate reform, serves as a platform in the journey toward building a more sustainable, equitable, and brighter future for generations to come.
“The Future of Climate Summit,” will be held on September 15, 2023, the week prior to Climate Week, hosted at the prestigious Dentons Law Firm in midtown Manhattan. Key topics will include energy transition, the future of sustainable cities, decarbonization, food and agriculture, and natural capital and biodiversity. There is a clear sense of urgency behind the event, as climate change could become irreversible by 2030, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the United Nations body responsible for assessing the science related to climate change.
The summit will bring together a highly select group of distinguished solution providers, family offices, investors, and global leaders to address the pressing challenges of the climate crisis, providing a dynamic platform where experts, visionaries, and change makers can freely share and exchange knowledge, expertise, and innovation, all with the shared goal of tackling the most pressing issues affecting the planet.
A Distinguished Lineup of Voices
Esteemed panelists and guest speakers are slated to include Princess Reema, a member of the Saudi royal family and the first female Saudi ambassador to the US, who embodies a changing society moving toward a more sustainable future, Augusto Lopez-Claros, Chairman of the World Governance Forum, Daniel Blackman, Senior Advisor for STEM Recruitment and Diversity at the United States Environmental Protection Agency, and Dr. Luke Haverhals, CEO and Founder of NFW, one of the cutting edge solution providers nominated for the Earthshot Prize by the PDIE Group, among many other distinguished guests.
These providers, recognized for their exceptional contributions to combating climate change, will have a unique opportunity to present their groundbreaking ideas to a captive audience, connect with potential investors, and collaborate with other like minded entrepreneurs and thought leaders committed to improving climate outcomes for all.
A Day Designed for Meaningful Connection
The Future of Climate Summit will open with a networking lunch, giving attendees the opportunity to build meaningful connections and foster a sense of community from the outset. Throughout the afternoon, moderated panel discussions and intimate breakout sessions will explore innovative strategies, emerging technologies, and best practices across various sectors of sustainability. The day will conclude with a cocktail reception.
Why Bringing These Groups Together Matters
What sets this summit apart from a typical climate conference is its deliberate structure around connection rather than presentation alone. By seating solution providers directly alongside the investors and family offices capable of funding their work, the event is designed to shorten the distance between promising innovation and the capital needed to scale it, a gap that often slows meaningful climate progress more than a lack of good ideas ever does.
We believe that by bringing together outstanding solution providers, investors, and global leaders in one place, we can accelerate progress toward a sustainable and resilient future, said Christian Schmitz, Founder and CEO of PDIE Group, representing the organizing committee of the summit. Through engaging discussion, impactful collaboration, and the sharing of visionary ideas, we aim to create a cohesive community of doers committed to solving our climate crisis and making a lasting impact.
As global brand builders committed to helping companies and emerging entrepreneurs drive awareness, education, and engagement, the Future of Climate Summit is a game changer for those who have truly dedicated themselves and their livelihoods to ensuring that generations to come can prosper, said Nicole Enslein, Founder and CEO of Sublime Communications.
