Climate Leader Fellowships
Where Australia's climate leaders across business, philanthropy and culture converge to spark change
How it works
Groundswell’s multi-day climate retreats are programmed to inspire deep discussions about the climate crisis and strategic, solutions-focused thinking. This transformative experience creates space for the emergence of new ideas and initiatives with participants ignited by a sense of urgency and purpose to step into climate leadership.
What to expect
Connect: engage with influential leaders from business, philanthropy, government and the arts.
Learn: deepen your understanding of climate science and the urgency of action.
Strategise: explore solutions and develop actionable plans to address climate challenges.
Lead: mobilise your resources and talents to create a tangible impact.
Immediate impact
Our most recent immersions brought together top executives from ASX100 listed companies as well as influential figures from government, finance, the arts and more. The result? A wave of new partnerships and projects that Groundswell Giving is proud to support.
Outcomes include:
Policy: COP31, forestry and methane working groups formed
Philanthropy: Millions in new investments raised for climate solutions
Culture: Hit TV show "Bump" weaving a powerful climate narrative into its storyline
