It is for action orientated women who are leading the climate revolution from within; for women who see simultaneously the incredible opportunities whilst understanding the deep urgency of the climate crises.

OUR VISION AND MISSION

We have three goals:

01
To intentionally gather and connect the world's leading business and climate women.
02
To power impactful business relationships and unlock climate solutions.
03
To work with companies and organisations - big and small. Those getting the work done.
Events

We host invitation only events at key climate moments as well as community and partner led gatherings in cities around the world. These moments enable guests to learn from each other, explore deal flow and create connections, encouraging collaboration. We are fast creating a modern rolodex of the most interesting doers in climate; those surfacing realtime problems and positively changing the status quo.

Trust is built in rooms, not virtual rooms.
We put humanity back in the room.

Simple Explanation of the Process

1. Identify and discover - nominations open on Wednesday 4th September. We are looking for the women who work tirelessly to identify, solve, and unlock business climate solutions. Anyone can nominate someone who they believe fits this criteria!

2. Getting to a shortlist - from the nominations we receive, we will work behind the scenes to narrow down and curate the shortlist alongside our trusted partners and sector experts. Our key focus is always on those that are unlocking solutions and really getting the work done.

3. Shining a spotlight - in early December, we will publish the Fin-Erth 101 Women in Climate Awards list for 2024. Over the next 6 months culminating with an Awards Dinner during London Climate Action Week, we will be bringing these women together (virtually and in person) to support and amplify their work.

“After a long few days of ‘Manels’ at COP, joining the Fin-Erth dinner was a breath of fresh air.

“The Fin-Erth MSCI COP28 dinner was brilliant.  This was a group of women who were really doing things, not just talking & observing, but genuinely making things happen. Beyond being inspired by the level of energy and competence, there were at least 10 follow up opportunities from women I sat with including potential investors & corporate partners.”
