London climate action week

Healthy Futures: Can we thrive if our planet is sick?

kyu House returned with a special pop-up event for London Climate Action to explore just that. 

On June 26, 2024, kyu companies including IDEO, Lexington and Gehl, along with Kite Insights, hosted dynamic and proactive discussions around health-centric environments and greener health systems. 

 

They asked questions like….

  • What would a healthcare system look like if you kept human and planetary health in balance?
  • How can patients drive climate-positive outcomes?
  • Where can we be more impactful in the climate x health space?

 

Later in the week, SYPartners partnered with Elevation Barn to bring together an evening of elevating impact, and ATÖLYE co-hosted a session with Metabolic spotlighting actionable, investable strategies to mobilize the critical funding necessary for a sustainable future.
