Marketers need help to understand what matters to people and what can influence their sustainable behaviour. This requires an understanding of current behaviours, as well as factors that prevent people from acting differently. Kantar has launched the Innovation Challenge in partnership with Subak to leverage climate change data for good, to empower marketers to focus their efforts on where it will have the biggest impact.

This blog post is written by Subak’s Accelerator Cohort 1 Member AimHi Earth. AimHi Earth are guided by their mission to accelerate nature-centric decision-making and our vision of a world where nature has a seat at every boardroom, political and kitchen table.

On 17th and 18th November, the five Cohort 1 members - a diverse mix of data-driven climate not-for-profits - that have graduated from our Europe accelerator programme gathered in London to wrap up the nine month programme. Read about some of the highlights as we wrapped-up the programme.

The second blog of our Subak Climate Summit series summarises some of the key discussion points from the talk by Professor David Healey: ‘Replacing baseload coal and gas for power generation’.

The first blog of our Subak Climate Summit series summarises some of the key discussion points from the panel ‘what can for-profit and not-for-profit startups learn from one another in the climate space’, chaired by Bridget Gildea.

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.

In this blog, we spotlight six individuals who have chosen to take their contribution to climate action even further through working on various pieces of the climate data puzzle. Across a range of focus areas, our latest cohort of Fellows from across the world are all focused on spearheading accessible climate data to accelerate action.

Subak’s community seeks to accelerate climate action in manifold ways, always underpinned by data. We’ve brought together three representatives from our community to illuminate what Earth Day 2022 and ‘investing in our planet’ means to them, and how to stay positive and empowered in the face of gloomy climate news.

I’m Maisie Kemp, Marketing & Communications Associate at Subak. Last month I had the opportunity to speak with Vinay Narayan, Senior Research Associate at Aapti Institute. Join us as we chat about the work Aapti does, data stewardship, climate justice, accessibility of technology and data, and the importance of grounding data in lived experience to gain rich insight.

As we expand the Subak Data Cooperative, we are looking to focus on increasing the content in some specific areas. The first two focus areas are Power Plants and Electric Vehicles (EVs). We have chosen these particularly important climate sectors as our initial areas of focus, for our targeted Fellowships, and will be expanding to other areas in the future. We are funding four Fellows to work on projects in these areas.
