Events and Sessions

Kick-Off Event – Monday 15.1 (by invitation) – at 16:30

“Standing up for the Planet” – book presentation, and interactive discussion – at 11.00

World Premiere of the “Here Now” Project – Tuesday 16.1 (by invitation) – at 15:00

A powerful reminder that climate change is not a distant threat but rather it is here, now. From the streets of Brooklyn to the forests of Siberia, a relentless barrage of fires, floods, and storms made devastatingly clear that the extreme weather climate scientists had been predicting for half a century had arrived. Now, in a production of unprecedented scope, Emmy-winning filmmakers Jon Siskel and Greg Jacobs chronicle that pivotal year through the eyes of everyday people around the world. Built out of thousands of hours of in-the-moment footage—no narration, no talking heads—The Here Now Project transforms the ordinary act of shooting a cell phone video into the radical act of bearing witness, capturing both the simultaneous, global nature of climate change itself and the deeply human resilience, resourcefulness, and courage needed to confront it. At once epic and intimate, the film is a wake-up call to the world from the world. The message: we’re all in this, together.

Join us for the Global Premiere of the documentary film The Here Now Project and a Q&A on what’s next. This session supports the work of Giving to Amplify Earth Action (GAEA).

Screening and Talks “Open Planet” – Wednesday 17.1 at 14:00

Screening “Davos +1.7 degrees” – Wednesday 17.1 at 15:15

Many scientific studies on climate change call for rapid action in all areas of life. For this to happen, people must have a direct connection to the changes on the ground. This is the aim of the Davos climate film “Davos +1.7°C concrete: from climate change to climate action”, which was produced as part of the “Adaptation to climate change” pilot programme launched by the Swiss Federal Agency for the Environment – FOEN.

The film summarises the most important findings on climate change in Davos. Familiar faces, familiar images and a comprehensible text inform the people of Davos about climate change on the ground. The final sequence of the film deals with CO2 emissions and shows how we can make an effective contribution to climate protection.

Screening: 15.15 – 15.40 in German, with English subtitles

Wild Coffee and Tea with the Systemic Climate Action Collaborative – Wednesday 17.1 at 16:00 

Get a taste of what the “Good Food” Bar has to offer, while you exchange ideas with partners of the Systematic Climate Action Collaborative. The Collaborative is a groundbreaking initiative uniting 15 leading climate nonprofits in a collective endeavour to overcome climate inaction and fragmentation.

Finance Solution Session “The Missing Trillions” – Wednesday 17.1 (by invitation) at 16:30 

At COP26, the world pledged $130 trillion to fight climate change. So where is it?

Our world is at a climate crossroads. To limit global warming to 1.5°C, we need more than $4.5 trillion each year by 2030. But we are falling far short of this goal, allocating less than one-third of what’s required. Trillions of dollars are still missing in the fight against climate change.

Join Metabolic, in collaboration with the Systemic Climate Action Collaborative, as we unlock “The Missing Trillions.” We aim to forge new connections and enact practical strategies to bridge the climate finance gap.

In Davos the focus will be on the root causes. See for more information Metabolic’s website.

Session: 16.30 – 18.00

Upgrading Humans for a climate positive future – Thursday 18.1 from 11:00 – 12.00

Upskilling for climate action. 

Climate-KIC, Yunus Environment Hub, REOS Partners, Kite Insights, Pyxera Global and GreenUp invite you to a co-creation session that needs all of us: our collective intelligence to reflect on who we need to be and how we need to be to achieve a climate positive future.

This dialogue session will focus on upgrading the mental models, capabilities and skills individuals, communities, societies and businesses need to face into and lead ourselves through the major structural and transformational shifts we need to make across the world. Join us to share reflections, learnings, experience, solutions and possibilities to collaborate. What works when we want to shift mindsets, for example in professional services? How can we make sure circular and regenerative models become the standard?  How can we expand the space for individuals and communities across the world to engage in creative thinking, imagination and collaborative action through arts, media and culture. Building learning to learn muscle – climate action in the form of innovation is a way of learning our way into a regenerative, sustainable and just future.

Screening and Q&A “Life on Our Planet” – Thursday 18.1 from 14:00 – 15:00

Life on Our Planet tells the greatest story of them all – the story of life! Spanning 4 billion years, the series showcases life’s journey from its almost miraculous beginnings in the primordial soup through the ages of fish, amphibians, reptiles, dinosaurs, mammals and birds. Blending VFX of extinct creatures with modern day natural history, it’s a series that has to be seen to be believed. But it’s also a series with a message.

In its concluding chapter (episode 8), the series focuses on the ice-age and the rise of humanity. Our achievements through history have been more remarkable than all other species that have gone before us. But those achievements have come at a cost. Because of our actions, we are now entering the 6th Mass Extinction. And yet, despite this grim forecast there remains a glimmer of hope. We are the first species in the 4-billion-year story of life to understand what is happening to our world. We are also the first species to understand what is needed to put it right. Our intelligence has brought us this far and it’s the only thing that can save us. Our future and that of the planet is yet to be written. How we act now will determine the next chapter in the story of life. 

Six years in the making, Life On Our Planet is produced by Silverback Films in collaboration with Amblin Television for Netflix. Join us for a special screening of the final episode and a Q&A on building adaptability, resilience and survival. This session supports the work of Earth Decides.
