About this Event
The Green Table is an intimate YES Club dinner bringing together 18 carefully curated sustainability and climate founders building the next generation of planet-positive startups.
Taking place during London Climate Action Week, the dinner is designed to create honest conversation, shared learning and deeper connection between founders working on climate and sustainability solutions.
Our keynote guest is Rob Cooper, founder and host of Climate Unf*cked, a podcast cutting through the noise to ask one simple question, how do we actually fix this?
On the night, Rob will share lessons from his conversations with leading voices across climate, psychology, policy, business and behaviour change, before exploring what it really means for founders to build planet-positive businesses without the greenwashing, jargon or overwhelm.
The evening will be a phone-free experience with a curated rotating seating plan, a three-course meal and personalised touches designed to make the room relevant to each founder’s current stage, challenges and ambitions.
The Green Table aligns with Whole of Society Climate Action by creating a practical space for sustainability and climate founders to connect, learn and collaborate.
The event recognises that climate action is not only driven by policy, capital or technology, but also by founders building companies, shaping culture, changing behaviour and bringing new solutions into the world.
Through Rob Cooper’s keynote and founder-led discussion, the evening will explore how climate communication, behaviour change, founder communities and startup innovation can make climate action more accessible, credible and motivating.
The goal is to move beyond doom, guilt and jargon, and create a room where founders feel better connected, better supported and better equipped to build businesses that contribute to a cleaner, better and more sustainable future.
