As one of the largest student-led events at the GSB, the fifth annual Climate, Business and Innovation Summit will bring together GSB students, alumni, and the wider Stanford community to explore the challenges and opportunities presented by climate change. We aim to have our participants leave with a clear perspective on the ways that climate and business are inextricably linked - regardless of career path.

Speakers will be accomplished sustainability leaders in various fields (finance, policy, energy, food & agriculture, retail, and technology). In addition to GSB students, faculty, and staff, the event will also welcome alumni and the larger community at Stanford and beyond.

Climate change will drive the largest societal and business shift in modern human civilization. We as a global community must act. We must fundamentally rebuild business habits, recalibrate personal behaviors, and upend international policy - all within the next few decades. These shifts present daunting challenges, as well as huge opportunities.
With this summit, we aim to bring all of the GSB community along for the ride and discuss how different perspectives and expertise are needed to address climate change. This year, we focus on how each and every role will be influenced by global warming. With a mix of education, academic debate, and career inspiration, we want every student to feel like they can be a part of the solution and leave with a toolkit for action and engagement going forward.

Climate change impacts every industry.
Over the past decades, we have watched as a changing climate has irrevocably altered our societies, disrupting food systems, displacing communities, and fueling global inequality. We, within the GSB and far beyond, have a generational opportunity to advance the momentum on climate action and build a healthier, more sustainable, more equitable future.
In this year’s Climate Summit, we focus on solutions to global warming. Join more than 300 Stanford GSB students, alumni and industry leaders to explore how climate change is already shaping and will continue to transform the future of every business.
