Tessa Clarke

Tessa is co-founder and CEO of Olio, an app tackling the climate crisis by solving the problem of waste in the home and local community. Olio does this by connecting people with their neighbours so they can give away rather than throw away their spare food and other household items, and lend and borrow instead of buying brand new. They also have over 100,000 volunteers who collect unsold food from local businesses such as Tesco, Iceland and Holland & Barrett, and redistribute it to the community via the Olio app. Eight million people have joined the Olio community to date, and each month over 3 million items are successfully shared.

In 2022, Irena led the spin-out of Systemiq Capital from Systemiq with a launch of Fund II, continuing to back early-stage companies across the UK, EU and North America. The restoration of climate through carbon and methane removal is one of the fund’s focus areas alongside decarbonisation of hard-to-abate sectors, climate biotech and software as a service.

He began his reporting career in Johannesburg, where he covered Southern Africa for the FT before a period writing on the London financial sector.

Anastasia holds a PhD in aerospace engineering and has been named a 2023 UBS Global Visionary, one of BBC’s “Top 100 Women” and is on the TIME100 Next list.

Rafel Jorda Siquier

Rafel Jorda Siquier is the founder and CEO of Open Cosmos, a company that designs, manufactures, and operates satellites to help solve the world’s biggest challenges. He is an aerospace engineer from UPC with a Master’s degree in space technologies.

Open Cosmos has dozens of satellites contracted for activities as diverse as telecommunications, Earth observation, navigation and science, and is one of the few companies in the world that maintains a 100% success rate in multiple launched satellites. Additionally, it leads the OpenConstellation, aggregating satellites from the UK, Spain, Portugal and elsewhere, which is growing into one of the largest constellations of shared satellites.

Danny Dorling

Danny Dorling is a professor in the School of Geography and the Environment at the University of Oxford. He was previously a professor for a decade at the University of Sheffield, and before then at the University of Leeds. He has also worked as an academic in Newcastle and Bristol. He was born and brought up in Oxford. In 2020 he published “Slowdown: The End of the Great Acceleration—And Why It’s Good for the Planet, the Economy, and Our Lives”; and in 2021, jointly with Annika Koljonen: “Finntopia: What We Can Learn from the World’s Happiest Country”. He slowed down for a year in 2022, and his 2023 book was titled: “Shattered Nation: Inequality, and the Geography of a Failing State”. In 2024 he publishes two books: “Seven Children” and “Peak Injustice”. Danny is a patron of the road-crash charity RoadPeace, of Heeley City Farm in Sheffield, and of the educational campaign group Comprehensive Future. In his spare time, he makes sandcastles on beaches with clean streams and the right kind of sand. He errs towards being optimistic about the future, because his academic work suggests, to him, that this is the most rational stance to take – despite what you may see around you.
