Test your wits on everything from climate and culture to classic quiz favourites and enjoy a drink (or two!) while you’re at it. A perfect chance to meet the previous three cohorts from Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful’s 30 Under 30 Climate Changemakers and discover how to get involved with the next generation of climate leaders.
Who runs the world? Well, if Belfast’s climate future has anything to say about it… women are certainly giving it a bold shot.
Join us for a night of inspiring conversation with women at the forefront of climate action in Northern Ireland. From grassroots organising to shaping policy, these changemakers are driving bold solutions and reimagining what a just, resilient, and sustainable Belfast can look like.
Through resonating powerful storytelling, they’ll share their personal journeys, the highs and hurdles of being women in the climate space, along with honest reflections and calls to action. You’ll leave with sparks of hope, a few laughs, and plenty of reasons to believe in a just, resilient, and sustainable Belfast.
Lunch is on us, just bring your curiosity and an open mind! Join us for a thought-provoking session with environmental social scientist and storyteller Dr. Jonny Hanson. At a time when climate headlines can feel overwhelming, Jonny invites us to hit pause and look at the bigger picture, exploring how powerful storytelling can help us rethink our connection with the natural world right here in Northern Ireland. Through real-world examples, inspiring ideas, and memorable stories, we’ll explore three essential questions: What does nature give us? What can we give back? And how can the stories we tell spark real change?
Sustain Presents Responsible AI for Climate Action (RAICA). How do we use this technology responsibly? Grab a plate, spark a thought! Join us for an interactive lunchtime session exploring how Responsible AI for Climate Action can help organisations take practical steps toward sustainability.
Curious minds, climate champions, and tech enthusiasts, all welcome!
The climate clock is ticking, but tackling the challenge doesn’t have to feel overwhelming! Join us for Certified Carbon Literacy Training, an interactive and energising session designed to boost your knowledge, skills, and confidence around climate science, climate justice, and carbon footprints.
You’ll leave not just informed but empowered to spark meaningful conversations and take action that makes a real difference.
This training is accredited by the Carbon Literacy Project, a United Nations recognised organisation that sets the international gold standard for Carbon Literacy programmes. That means when you complete the course, you’ll walk away with a globally respected certification. [EXCLUSIVE TO LQ BID MEMBERS]
Come ready to share ideas, spark collaborations, and see how what looks like “waste” today could be tomorrow’s resource!
Join us for a hands-on, interactive workshop where businesses discover how to transform waste into exciting new opportunities. We’ll connect organisations with surplus materials to creative partners who can reuse, recycle, or repurpose them, fuelling a circular economy that’s good for people, place and planet.
This collaborative event is brought to you by Linen Quarter BID as part of its RE[act] Festival for a Sustainable Belfast and Translink to explore how and why we all need to work together and better. Connect to achieve modal shift in Belfast and beyond.
This engaging, gamified experience allows participants to assess and negotiate actions, forging a local response to the global climate crisis.
In this highly interactive hands-on session, participants will explore how the mindsets and tools of human-centred design thinking might help us bring a lens of action toward sustainability to our life and work.
Join us for a powerful call to action as we rally the sector to accelerate its transformation from waste managers to custodians of the critical raw materials that underpin the economy. As the industry evolves, now is the time to embrace this pivotal role in safeguarding resources, driving sustainability, and shaping a resilient future for all.
A brand new city experience for 2025 with an eclectic mix of talks, workshops and storytelling events dedicated to creating a more resilient and sustainable Belfast
