Our convenings are designed for action.
From summits to roundtables, we bring together the people and ideas that shape responsible AI for climate and nature.
Setting the agenda for AI, climate, and nature
Coming up:
AI Explorers Summit, New York
Co-hosted with Conservation International, UNDP, and TechChange, this year’s Summit is an intimate gathering of just 100 seats.
📍 New York City • 21 Sept 2025 • 8:00–16:00 ET
The AI Explorers Summit is where the field comes together – nonprofits, tech leaders, policymakers, and funders – to set priorities and shape commitments on responsible AI. It’s designed for depth and action: unpacking AI’s footprint, ethics, and governance; showcasing practical tools and data; and sparking partnerships that move from pilots to pipelines.
Roundtables: Working Sessions for Leaders.
Our invite-only roundtables convene 20-30 leaders at a time to surface barriers, share solutions, and chart practical next steps. Grounded in the Earth Alignment Principles, these sessions are candid, collaborative, and catalytic.
Coming up:
Climate Week
NYC Roundtable
A focused discussion with nonprofits, funders, and sustainability leaders on pathways for responsible AI adoption.
Co-hosted with Wellcome Trust and the Exponential Roadmap Initiative, this closed-door session brought together ~30 leaders to explore AI’s footprint, adoption barriers, and pathways for responsible use.
Previous:
London Climate Action Week Roundtable
What we learned:
• Many nonprofits are still in the early stages of AI adoption – one in three had never used AI tools, and most cited lack of familiarity as their biggest barrier.
• Data and computing gaps between the Global North and South risk widening divides if left unaddressed.
• AI literacy is a critical enabler for civil society: participants highlighted the need for training and confidence-building so nonprofits can make informed choices about adoption.
What’s next:
Participants are reconvening to populate shared roadmap to identify tipping points and frameworks, to guide the responsible adoption of AI for climate and nature.
Attendees said:
“It was the right balance of optimism and realism: practical, grounded, and free of hype.”
“This is exactly the kind of global community we need – connecting voices across regions to shape how AI serves climate and nature.”
