We are committed to making the world a better place for Climate, People and Nature

What we do

We believe in trust-based collaboration and collective action.

By building new partnerships, embracing common goals and aligning partners around a shared vision, we create an ecosystem of people and organization driven by the same passion and objective generating systemic changes.

By empowering people from all walks of life and at every stage of their lives, we can inspire them, share knowledge and tools to become active citizens and drive a systemic transformation of society to deliver positive impacts for climate, people and nature.

Positive change often happens through “radical collaboration”.

Our three pillars of action

1

Build and facilitate partnerships for climate, people and nature

Partnership building is at the very core of what we do. At Climate Bridges, we connect people and organisations that share the same sense of urgency towards climate action. Through inclusive multi-stakeholder dialogues and targeted task forces, we act as a catalyser for change and a platform of collaboration for change-makers. We bring together leaders from business, civil society and governments to activate a systemic transformation of society, going beyond institutional boundaries, beyond logos, egos and silos, to deliver positive impacts for people and the planet.

2

Inspire and empower future leaders for climate action

We work with schools, universities, teachers, leadership trainers, students and people from all walks of life who are ready to lead the next generation towards a more resilient and sustainable world.

We share, organize, facilitate and run workshops to empower the next generations of youth leaders. We teach how to see the world through a more systemic approach and become agents of change.

3

Foster resilience and food systems transformation

RealFoodSystems is an advocacy platform of actionists committed to addressing the planetary emergency through sustainable food systems as a #1 solution to climate and interrelated crises. Our vision is a transformed and sustainable future, where plant-based, whole food is the foundation for human and planetary health.

The RealFoodSystems Youth Ambassadors Program inspires action, giving a voice and providing young people across the world with tools to design sustainable, healthy and resilient food systems for the future.
