Stockholm Climate Leadership Forum
Transforming Systems. Securing Futures.
The Stockholm Climate Leadership Forum is a trusted think tank and private gathering of the Nordic region’s most influential business leaders, policymakers, investors, and visionaries. Together, they recognise that the challenges of our time demand more than incremental change — they require systemic solutions that serve people, planet, purpose, and prosperity.
Each year, the Forum curates a central theme that reflects a decisive lever of global transformation. From the electrification of economies and the rise of artificial intelligence, to regenerative food systems, impact investment, and the shift from materials to a circular economy, these themes link human wellbeing with the health of the biosphere, atmosphere, geosphere, and ocean sphere — aligning purpose with sustainable prosperity.
In an era when ecosystems are collapsing, planetary boundaries are being breached, and the balance of nature is endangered, the Forum provides a sanctuary for candid dialogue. Rooted in rigorous science and guided by Nordic values of trust and collaboration, it is a space where leaders confront hard truths, dismantle silos, and forge systemic strategies that respect the limits of our living planet.
The Stockholm Climate Leadership Forum exists because today’s challenges transcend borders. True leadership means creating a future where innovation, capital, and ecosystems reinforce one another — restoring resilience to the biosphere, safeguarding prosperity for humanity, and advancing a shared purpose that sustains life for generations to come.
2024 Stockholm Climate Leadership Forum
At the 2024 Forum, leaders from science, business, and policy convened to advance energy resilience through renewable power, electrification, and storage, while positioning AI as both a tool for innovation and a matter of national security and sovereign wealth.
About SCLF
From planetary boundaries to systemic solutions
Founded in 2023 by Cynthia-Christie Jonströmer, CEO of BHC Invest AB, the Stockholm Climate Leadership Forum (SCLF) has become a trusted arena where global leaders, policymakers, investors, scientists, entrepreneurs, and cultural voices converge. The Forum is not another conference. It is a living laboratory — where rigorous science meets entrepreneurial ingenuity, and where bold ideas are shaped into solutions that can scale from the lab to the market, and from the market to society.
Each year, the Forum centres on a theme that reflects a critical lever of transformation — from renewable energy and electrification, to advanced materials and circular economies, artificial intelligence, regenerative food systems, and the resilience of global infrastructure. In 2025, the Forum expands its reach with the launch of the Stockholm Climate Leadership Society: a year-round platform dedicated to turning insight into action, and action into measurable impact.
We drive systemic change through deep insight, collaboration, and alignment with planetary boundaries.
Modern crises demand more than incremental solutions. The Forum exists to spark bold strategies, forge unlikely alliances, and accelerate pathways to resilience, equity, and prosperity.
Modern challenges demand swift action. We bring together diverse voices and bold ideas to accelerate solutions for a resilient, sustainable future.
Investing in the next generation of climate leaders
On 9 September 2025, we launched the Stockholm Climate Leadership Forum Scholarship — a bold commitment to nurture the brightest minds and most courageous changemakers of tomorrow.
The Scholarship is dedicated to leaders under the age of 50, recognising that the future belongs to those with the vision, energy, and determination to reimagine entire systems. These are the entrepreneurs, scientists, investors, and practitioners who turn research into solutions, and ideas into ventures that scale.
Guided by the principles of authenticity, humility, courage, and integrity, the Scholarship seeks individuals who embody not only excellence in expertise but also strength of character. Recipients will gain access to mentorship, peer coaching, and a trusted platform of global leaders — equipping them to build transformative ventures that serve people, planet, purpose, and prosperity.
This is more than a scholarship. It is a catalyst for a self-sustaining ecosystem: each scholar pledges to reinvest a share of their future success into the next generation, creating an unbroken chain of opportunity and impact.
The Stockholm Climate Leadership Forum Scholarship exists to turn boundaries into opportunities — and to empower leaders who will shape a resilient and regenerative future for all.
Turning Climate Insights into Action
The Stockholm Climate Leadership Forum is proud to announce the launch of Antarez Global Impact Capital — an investment fund dedicated to scaling the solutions our planet urgently needs. Antarez will provide the financial engine to back the most promising climate ventures emerging from our global network of innovators, researchers, and entrepreneurs.
Where innovation meets urgency
The Stockholm Climate Tech Summit is a bold, open gathering for those who refuse to stand still as ecosystems collapse and planetary boundaries are breached. It is where innovators, entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers, researchers, and cultural voices converge to accelerate the technologies and strategies that will reshape our economies — and secure a liveable future.
Born from the legacy of three years of the exclusive Stockholm Climate Leadership Forum, the Climate Tech Summit extends the circle — opening its doors to a global community ready to exchange ideas, build alliances, and scale solutions.
This is not just another event. It is a platform for action — where breakthrough science meets entrepreneurial drive, where capital fuels transformation, and where collective ambition is turned into tangible progress. From clean energy and new materials to regenerative food systems, resilient infrastructure, and AI for planetary stewardship, the Summit champions innovation with purpose, aligned with the principles of people, planet, prosperity, and purpose.
The Stockholm Climate Tech Summit exists to inspire, to connect, and to catalyse the breakthroughs our world urgently needs.
