14:00–15:40 CET — The Missing Middle: Driving the Just Transition Within Supply Chains

This session explores the “missing middle”: the space between high-level investor ambition and the day-to-day financing constraints faced by global textile supply chain actors.

Too often, strategies that seem logical in financial institutions’ fail to reflect the operational realities of suppliers who are expected to decarbonise, upgrade technology, comply with new regulations, and ensure fair working conditions across global value chains.

The discussion will unpack these disconnects and highlight opportunities to bridge them.

16:00–17:40 CET — Investing in the Rising Adaptation Economy

Adaptation is now an economic imperative. Morphosis unveils clear investment-ready insights to drive climate resilience.

As the world faces climate change of uncharted severity, investment in adaptation will be the keystone of tomorrow’s value.

This is a defining transition for the policy, business, and investment communities, deeply interlinked with technological change, nature at risk, and geopolitical shifts.

Policy action is vital to create a virtuous cycle: making adaptation markets profitable to attract commercial capital, driving innovation, and increasing affordability, especially for low and middle-income households in vulnerable regions.

Building on the The Rise of the Adaptation Economy framework launched at COP30, the discussion will draw on preliminary results from an index aimed at mobilizing private capital for transformative adaptation.

This session is hosted by Morphosis at the Climate Hub Davos by GreenUp.

12:05–12:25 CET — Training AI Systems for environmental alignment

Today, two important conversations run in parallel but rarely meet: AI alignment research focuses on safety and control, while environmental debates focus on AI’s energy use and emissions. What is largely missing is a deeper question: how do we design AI systems that are intentionally aligned with environmental stewardship?

Join us to explore the idea of Earth-aligned AI, examining how planetary boundaries, long term resilience, and ecological responsibility can be reflected in AI training data, objectives, and reinforcement learning.

14:00–14:10 CET — WEF Alternative Speech '26

Today a group of globally respected leaders, shaping the future of people, planet and prosperity, set out a bold alternative to President Donald Trump’s growth‑at‑all‑costs/America First vision of prosperity, which is grounded in fossil-fuel driven expansion and de-regulation. Just one hour before President Trump will unveil his own agenda at the World Economic Forum, the thought leaders assert that progress must be judged by whether every child has enough to eat, every worker can pay the rent and sleep without fear, and every community can thrive on a stable planet—not by the fortunes of a small elite. Any serious vision of prosperity must confront spiralling inequality, climate breakdown and social fragmentation head‑on, rather than celebrate GDP growth while millions are left behind.

The speech will be aired live on We Don't Have Time on January 21 at 14:00 CET / 8:00 am EDT. Watch the speech here.

The speakers, including Planetary Guardians and global thought leaders:

8:00–9:40 CET — Systemic Investing and Capital Orchestration

A new kind of financial actor is quietly emerging—and it could transform how we tackle society’s biggest challenges. These actors are rooted in place-based contexts and bioregions and take a systems view: mapping root causes, identifying leverage points, and asking how much and what kind of capital is really needed to shift the system. They build strategies around the challenge itself—not the constraints of a single funding source.

They convene coalitions of asset owners, investment managers, foundations, corporations, public sector bodies, and community organizations; design multi-layered investment architectures; and channel diverse forms of capital to strategic portfolios of projects, companies, and initiatives. In short, they are financial backbones that strategically orchestrate financial capital so that more money of the right kinds flows to regenerate ecosystems and communities.

Join the TransCap Initiative, Climate KIC, and Metabolic to learn more about the what, who, and how of systemic investing and strategic capital orchestration and explore some pioneering case studies of financial backbones in regenerative agriculture and urban transformation.

We’ll invite you to engage in a discussion about how to better orchestrate funding and investment capital for the transformation of cities and bioregions, and of food, energy, and other real-economy systems.

16:00–17:40 CET — From Grants to Growth

Financing and Enabling Agroecological Enterprises for Food System Transformation

Global food systems are under immense pressure. They fail to nourish the world equitably, contribute to biodiversity loss and climate change, and often marginalize the very farmers who sustain them. A growing body of evidence shows that agroecological enterprises (AEEs)—locally rooted businesses applying the 13 principles of agroecology—can drive systemic transformation.

These enterprises regenerate soils and ecosystems, strengthen local food markets, and provide sustainable livelihoods. Yet, despite their potential, AEEs face systemic barriers to growth: fragmented support ecosystems, limited access to finance, and a lack of investment readiness.

This session will explore how diverse stakeholders can collaborate to mobilize financial and non-financial resources for agroecological enterprises—bridging the gap between local action and systemic change

19:00–22:00 CET — Reframing Climate Action: How Narratives Shape the Future We Create

Join us at Kulturplatz Davos to explore the power of storytelling in shaping our climate future - it's time to reimagine our impact!

This session explores how the way we talk about climate action fundamentally shapes public understanding, engagement and collective action. Rather than positioning climate protection as a technical or moral burden, the session reframes it as part of a broader story about safeguarding life, resilience, prosperity and our shared future. Through the lens of narratives, we move from purpose to participation and finally to tangible innovation.

13:20–14:00 CET — Revitalizing Our Information Ecosystem

Trust in information is under pressure, and the consequences for our societies are profound. Misinformation, fragmented media environments, and declining public trust make it harder than ever to engender shared understanding and foster collective action to take on our most pressing challenges.

Join us to explore the current state of our information ecosystem and why we struggle to maintain common knowledge. Bringing together expertise in media governance, digital policy, and climate storytelling, we’ll examine how information is shaped, distorted, or amplified across platforms, and how people make sense of it in their daily lives, especially when it comes to climate change.

14:00–15:40 CET — The Missing Middle: Driving the Just Transition Within Supply Chains

This session explores the “missing middle”: the space between high-level investor ambition and the day-to-day financing constraints faced by global textile supply chain actors.

Too often, strategies that seem logical in financial institutions’ fail to reflect the operational realities of suppliers who are expected to decarbonise, upgrade technology, comply with new regulations, and ensure fair working conditions across global value chains.

The discussion will unpack these disconnects and highlight opportunities to bridge them.

16:00–17:40 CET — Investing in the Rising Adaptation Economy

Adaptation is now an economic imperative. Morphosis unveils clear investment-ready insights to drive climate resilience.

As the world faces climate change of uncharted severity, investment in adaptation will be the keystone of tomorrow’s value.

This is a defining transition for the policy, business, and investment communities, deeply interlinked with technological change, nature at risk, and geopolitical shifts.

Policy action is vital to create a virtuous cycle: making adaptation markets profitable to attract commercial capital, driving innovation, and increasing affordability, especially for low and middle-income households in vulnerable regions.

Building on the The Rise of the Adaptation Economy framework launched at COP30, the discussion will draw on preliminary results from an index aimed at mobilizing private capital for transformative adaptation.

In times when sustainability is under scrutiny, this session highlights how the climate transition is not just good for the planet, it’s a clear pathway for business. Drawing on the new Crocodile Economy report from the Exponential Roadmap Initiative, the discussion shows how countries and companies are already decoupling emissions from growth. The session explores how rapid emissions reductions can go hand in hand with competitiveness, and examines the pathways, levers, and systemic enablers that make an exponential race to the top both possible and profitable for business and society alike.

12:00–13:00 CET — Can Europe achieve tech sovereignty?

Europe boasts none of the major social media or digital platforms, leaving critical infrastructure and information flows in the hands of foreign powers. Meanwhile, the U.S. and China, the current leaders in digital technology, are increasingly diverging from the values of information integrity and democratic governance.

Join us to explore why Europe must assert its own tech and information sovereignty. From policy and regulation to innovation and infrastructure, these experts will examine how Europe can reclaim control over its digital future, protect democratic norms, and ensure that its citizens have access to trustworthy, accountable information.

14:00–14:10 CET — WEF Alternative Speech '26

Today a group of globally respected leaders, shaping the future of people, planet and prosperity, set out a bold alternative to President Donald Trump’s growth‑at‑all‑costs/America First vision of prosperity, which is grounded in fossil-fuel driven expansion and de-regulation. Just one hour before President Trump will unveil his own agenda at the World Economic Forum, the thought leaders assert that progress must be judged by whether every child has enough to eat, every worker can pay the rent and sleep without fear, and every community can thrive on a stable planet—not by the fortunes of a small elite. Any serious vision of prosperity must confront spiralling inequality, climate breakdown and social fragmentation head‑on, rather than celebrate GDP growth while millions are left behind.

The speech will be aired live on We Don't Have Time on January 21 at 14:00 CET / 8:00 am EDT. Watch the speech here.

8:00–9:40 CET — Systemic Investing and Capital Orchestration

8:00–9:40 CET — Systemic Investing and Capital Orchestration

A new kind of financial actor is quietly emerging—and it could transform how we tackle society’s biggest challenges. These actors are rooted in place-based contexts and bioregions and take a systems view: mapping root causes, identifying leverage points, and asking how much and what kind of capital is really needed to shift the system. They build strategies around the challenge itself—not the constraints of a single funding source.

They convene coalitions of asset owners, investment managers, foundations, corporations, public sector bodies, and community organizations; design multi-layered investment architectures; and channel diverse forms of capital to strategic portfolios of projects, companies, and initiatives. In short, they are financial backbones that strategically orchestrate financial capital so that more money of the right kinds flows to regenerate ecosystems and communities.

Join the TransCap Initiative, Climate KIC, and Metabolic to learn more about the what, who, and how of systemic investing and strategic capital orchestration and explore some pioneering case studies of financial backbones in regenerative agriculture and urban transformation.

We’ll invite you to engage in a discussion about how to better orchestrate funding and investment capital for the transformation of cities and bioregions, and of food, energy, and other real-economy systems.

Speakers:

  • Kirsten DunlopCEO, Climate KIC
  • Dominic Hofstetter, Executive Director, TransCap Initiative (TCI).

Financing and Enabling Agroecological Enterprises for Food System Transformation

Global food systems are under immense pressure. They fail to nourish the world equitably, contribute to biodiversity loss and climate change, and often marginalize the very farmers who sustain them. A growing body of evidence shows that agroecological enterprises (AEEs)—locally rooted businesses applying the 13 principles of agroecology—can drive systemic transformation.

These enterprises regenerate soils and ecosystems, strengthen local food markets, and provide sustainable livelihoods. Yet, despite their potential, AEEs face systemic barriers to growth: fragmented support ecosystems, limited access to finance, and a lack of investment readiness.

This session will explore how diverse stakeholders can collaborate to mobilize financial and non-financial resources for agroecological enterprises—bridging the gap between local action and systemic change
