​How do plants, birds, and pollinators fit into the modern workplace? Can a walking meeting amid monarch butterflies boost creativity and engagement? And how does working alongside nature change how we see ourselves in the bigger picture?

​Learn more about how Second Nature, Gehl, and Creative Denmark are working to design nature into the workplace and the tools needed to quantify its positive impact on creativity and productivity. Hear tangible approaches for integrating ecological benefits into real estate from the ground up, and how “high-performance nature” can supercharge workplaces.

​We’ll explore the real value nature adds to urban space — plus, get an inside look at the methods used to blend social and ecological spaces into something greater than the sum of their parts.

Hosted by World Resources Institute Africa (WRI-Africa), the Green Belt Movement (GBM), the International Centre for Non-Violent Conflict (ICNC), and Kite Insights.

​Following the dynamic “Is Climate Action Job Creation?” debate presented by LinkedIn, we will explore how to forge partnerships for green and inclusive economic growth.

​Together, we will tackle pressing questions about perceived investment risk in Africa, how to unlock finance at scale, decarbonizing manufacturing, and the transformative role of philanthropy. Join us to think bigger and bolder — unlocking capital for a sustainable future and creating green jobs for the world’s youngest workforce.
