This quarterly event brings together members and stakeholders to engage on the pre-COP29 agenda and the broader climate efforts being undertaken by UK organizations across the globe. Every BEI Climate Change Networking Evening features a keynote speech where participants dive into the scale of challenges that are facing governments, institutions, and businesses as the world battles with the climate crisis. After the keynote speech, the organizers host networking drinks in the Members Room where attendees have the opportunity to engage with members of the BEI Climate Change Working Group and key stakeholders representing HMG, the diplomatic community, international financial institutions, multi-lateral agencies, and funding bodies.
The keynote speaker this time will be Kate Lonsdale, Director at Climate Sense. For the last 26 years, Kate has focused on organizational adaptation to a changing climate, spanning civil society, academia, and government policy and working within organizations that bridge various sectors. Her approach to Climate Adaptation combines a deep grounding in research with frontline experience of implementation. This has seen her manage Climate Adaptation strategies and implementation in emerging and developed economies and across multiple industries including civil society, academia, and government policy and within organizations that aim to create a bridge between these different sectors.
