Grab a cup and join the conversation at “Climate and Coffee” — a dynamic roundtable with the ANDE Washington, D.C. member community.
As climate challenges grow more urgent, so does the need for honest, collaborative dialogue. This in-person session offers a chance to connect over coffee and explore how organizations are advancing climate mitigation, adaptation, and resilience—particularly through the lens of empowering entrepreneurs in emerging markets.
We’ll focus on what’s working, where support is needed, and how we can strengthen our collective impact through collaboration. Whether you bring lessons learned, pressing questions, or bold ideas, your voice is essential to shaping this peer-led discussion.
This in-person session will focus on how organizations are responding to the climate crisis—through mitigation, adaptation, and building resilience—and how we can strengthen these efforts across our network. Together, we’ll examine:
-
The current role of entrepreneurial support actors in driving climate solutions.
-
Where organizations can step up now to meet emerging climate needs.
-
What kinds of support are most needed in this shifting environment.
-
Success stories, persistent challenges, and potential areas for collaboration.
-
How ANDE members can work more effectively together to create collective impact.
This conversation will be guided by the priorities and experiences of those in the room. Whether you’re advancing climate work already or looking to better understand your role, your insights are essential to shaping how we respond—together—as a global network.
