Conference

UnConference 2024

How can we accelerate towards a fair and sustainable future?

Event date and time: 6 September 2024 — 09:30 TO 17:30 BST

Event location: In person — Chatham House

Are you interested in exploring some of the big questions facing humanity today? Underwhelmed by traditional conference formats? Ready to get involved and help shape practical responses to some of our biggest long-term challenges?

Join Chatham House for the 2024 Sustainability Accelerator UnConference, to discuss how civil society and policymakers can accelerate towards a fair and sustainable future.

At traditional conferences, some of the best conversations happen in the corridors and the audience have just as many ideas as the panel. In Open Space events, participants manage their own agenda of parallel working sessions around a central theme. The Sustainability Accelerator Unconference aims to harness the collective power of all of its participants to bring new ideas to discussions on sustainability.

Topics to explore include:

  • What are key gaps in our collective response to the climate crisis?
  • How do we navigate the transition in a complex and changing global order?
  • What are the most practical pathways to drive outsize impact?

Join for a chance to help shape ideas for a sustainable future.

Audience ideas will drive the conversation.
