TKF aims to bring together a carefully selected community of world-class leaders to confront the defining environmental challenges of our time. As a truly global and diverse forum, we believe that physical presence is essential to fostering the meaningful collaboration these challenges demand. At the same time, we acknowledge that participant travel inherently conflicts with our long-term ambition to achieve net-zero emissions and that in-person gatherings have an impact on the environment. For this reason, our in-person events are designed as low-impact gatherings that inspire systemic change far beyond the conference itself. While reducing greenhouse gas emissions remains central to our approach, TKF also prioritises waste reduction, local economic value, inclusion, and cultural respect.

Addressing the conflict of hosting a global in-person forum whilst committing to reduce TKF’s carbon emissions is a challenge, with our Carbon Reports showing that the majority of our Co2 emissions was generated from flights made by participants traveling to the Forum. To help combat this challenge, we are offering 10% discount on TKF tickets prices for participants travelling to the forum by train as their main form of transport. We hope that this travel initiative will actively encourage responsible travel to our forums and help to reduce our carbon emissions.
