Introducing: Subak’s 2022 Climate Summit in London
We are delighted to announce that we will be hosting the inaugural Subak Climate Summit in London this October. The Climate Summit aims to connect for-profit and not-for-profit organisations, in order to foster collaboration between disconnected spaces and boost awareness on often neglected areas of climate change.
Fellow Spotlight: Christina Last
Our Fellow Spotlight series focuses on showcasing the work of our Fellows. This time, I spoke with Christina Last, who recently joined Subak’s latest global Fellowship cohort. Christina’s project will develop a machine learning model that predicts the concentration of short-lived climate pollutants (PM10), which can be used to identify and build evidence to reduce pollution and emissions.

Reflecting on Earth Day 2022 with the Subak community
Subak’s community seeks to accelerate climate action in manifold ways, always underpinned by data.

The case for a carbon tax & dividend scheme in the wake of the IPCC report
As a global issue, climate change demands global policy solutions. New research by one of our Cohort One members, the think tank Autonomy, shows how a carbon tax and dividend system, whether at global or national scales, could not only play a major role in driving the emissions reductions necessary to mitigate climate change – but also drastically reduce global poverty levels.
