​29. April 2026 - hosted by Bees & Bears x PIK Potsdam

​For climate founders, investors, activists and policymakers.

​The planet's life-support systems are under stress. The scientists who measure that stress want to meet you and they need what's in this room.

​Why it exists

​Climate change is pushing Earth's systems past the point of stability and it's accelerating other planetary boundaries simultaneously. The researchers tracking this are not just here to brief you. They're here because they need what's in this room: capital, decisions and domain expertise that science alone can't provide.

​What happens

​A tight scientific briefing. A fireside chat that connects planetary science to the investment theses and product decisions of the people in this room. An open discussion built around one question: where are the highest-leverage opportunities and what does it take to act on them?

​The scientists

​Dr. Levke Caesar leads the Planetary Boundary Science Lab at Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK). Dr. Kasra Rafiezadeh Shahi applies AI to that science. Bruce Phillips has spent 20 years translating science for the people who need to act on it. Together they are the team behind the Planetary Health Check 2025 - the most comprehensive assessment of Earth's current state.

​The host

​Bees & Bears a climate fintech that helps scale investments into CO2-saving technologies. We're hosting this because the gap between planetary science and capital allocation is costing us time we don't have.

​The room

​~50 people. Climate founders, investors, and policymakers. Leaders from the World Food Programme, Vattenfall, BMW Foundation, Klimaunion, and Climate Analytics - among others.

​Entry 6:00 PM · Kick-Off: 6:30 PM sharp · ~120 min

​The question we'll leave with is not what's wrong with the planet. It's what you're going to do about it.
