Our approach
The future belongs to bridge builders. We can no longer afford a fractured world. Polarization is increasing resulting in our planet and our people falling apart. Through radical collaboration and new ways of seeing, being and doing, we can work together as One team for One planet.
We can address the climate emergency and steer a bright future by unlocking the power of collective action and harnessing the enormous potential for impacts. We can unite and act, going beyond egos, logos and institutional boundaries, beyond North/South divides, beyond gender divides, valuing inclusion and diversity at all levels of decision-making.
It is about mobilizing 100% of the potential of society, not half of it, with women and men working together, bringing balance to the planet. We are women-led movement, supported by men to rebalance the Earth. Join us!
Building partnerships for people and the planet
“We are working as One Team for One Planet, building partnerships in the spirit of “radical collaboration", connecting a broad range of global and local stakeholders to unlock the power of collective action.
By valuing diversity and inclusiveness, and investing in climate, people and nature, we believe that we can restore human and planetary health, regenerate life on Earth and prepare a future which is bright, positive and resilient for all.”
Elise Buckle, President/CEO of Climate Bridges and Founder of SHE Builds Bridges

SHE Builds Bridges
A group of passionate and inspiring women and men sharing their emotions, stories and drive for a sustainable future during an intense dialogue and circle of trust. We are in a #climateemergency : we only have 2 years left to curb global emissions and prepare more resilient communities for the systemic shocks that are coming. Women are often the pioneers of climate solutions and the champions of resilience: their representation and meaningful participation at all levels of decision-making is key to the systemic transformation of society.

Be One Mentoring
Be One Mentoring program aims at supporting graduating students or young professionals in their transition to a new professional life dedicated to sustainability, climate action and environmental protection while keeping a good work-life harmony. In particular, the program seeks to provide practical tools, leadership skills, network contacts and orientation advice to high-potential individuals who are dedicated to addressing the planetary emergency.
“As for the future, your task is not to foresee it, but to enable it.”
