Building global capability for place-based climate action
Subak is a climate action incubator. We equip the climate movement with the skills, knowledge, and networks to drive systems change.
In the face of a global polycrisis, where environmental, social, economic, and political crises converge, the climate movement remains fragmented and siloed.
Our approach is rooted in living systems thinking, supporting change at three interconnected levels: the self, community, and the wider system. This means growing inner capacity, strengthening collaboration, and enabling structural transformation, all essential to building long-term climate resilience.
We run a range of continuous initiatives designed to strengthen the capability and capacity of the climate movement
-
Living Learning Environments
We run functional Guilds and communities of practice which nurture collaboration and knowledge sharing across business functions to encourage continuous, peer-to-peer learning. Members also have access to a pool of best-in-class coaches, mentors and advisors.
-
Learning Programmes
We run two dedicated Learning Programmes - Changemaking & Resilient Organisations - designed to equip climate-focused organisations and individuals with the knowledge, capacity, networks and resilience to enact lasting impact.
-
Impact Lab
We run thematic missions which convene and fund not-for-profits collaborating to drive transformation in key climate sectors. Past missions have included: Heat, Land & Agriculture, and Energy.
-
Community
Our global community of members benefit from a range of community activities, including thematic events, panels, book discussions, quarterly socials, and monthly climate sanghas to build internal resilience.
Developing and nurturing the resilience of people and organisations to create living systems change
We develop best-in-class capacity, skills and mindsets as well as sectoral know-how, empowering climate actors to share knowledge, build long term collaborations, develop resilience, and scale their impact authentically.
We do this through curating complementary and intersecting living learning environments alongside hosting linear, compressed learning programmes. This enables organisations with the skills and knowledge to grow their impact, but also create self-sustaining, relevant knowledge sharing communities to support real world relevance.
