TEDxGlasgow: Climate Action Initiative
TEDxGlasgow has a legacy of bringing together the most creative and entrepreneurial people and organisations to promote innovation and connection in the city and beyond. Over the last decade, TEDxGlasgow talks have attracted 15M views, 57,000 attendees at digital event, and delivered events that reach richly diverse audience demographics and business sectors. TEDx were looking for an expert facilitator and strategic collaboration to help activate our Climate Action Initiative to help us build a more prosperous, sustainable, creative, fairer and healthier future through disrupting old sectors with new sustainable technology centric ideas.
The Brief
What we did
The TEDxGlasgow Partners Climate Action Initiative is a growing and diverse group of 18 organisations consisting of private and public organisations across diverse sectors including communications, transport, food and drink, power generation, consultancy, local and national government. Through regular monthly meetings and on-going communication, we fostered a community of individuals and organisations who wouldn’t have normally interacted with each other.
We set out to share to inspire and achieve accelerated action towards Net Zero over 12 months through identifying opportunities for collaboration and learning. We are excited by some of the interesting cross-sector collaborations that were initiated, such as one project connecting the often opposing worlds of academic climate justice and corporate sustainability.
The Climate Action Initiative allowed ideas worth spreading from one sector of our collective system to another and curated a space for honest conversations about both the challenges and opportunities faced by organisations navigating the climate emergency.
“In this make or break year for climate change, Liminal have been great partners and have helped us to foster collaborations between 18 partner organisations. We are stronger together.”
