We host community-backed discussion salons that cultivate the insight, leadership, and connections needed to confront Africa’s climate and nature challenges with the urgency and imagination they demand.

Our story

We can't keep waiting for global summits to save us. We need micro-regional spaces where global ideas meet local insights, where policy-making is accessible, and where future-building is something real people can actually participate in.

This is the work we curate at the Africa Climate x Nature Salon: small,  in-person gatherings that activate leaders across sectors, countries, and backgrounds to collaborate and initiate change on environmental challenges.

Driven by community and a fierce desire to transform who is supported as leaders and builders in policy conversations

We gather not to perform panels where people speak because they represent organizational sponsors or rehearse lukewarm talking points. Our salons are spaces where questions and inquiry are welcomed alongside solution-building, piecing together our collective wisdom to solve shared problems.
