​Work as a Product Manager? Or a Product Designer? Want to increase your climate impact?

​You know why embedding climate action into your work and your office is important... but how can it be done? In this interactive session, you'll hear from 4 professionals with roles just like yours who have either made the move to join a new company or are working hard within their current organisation to effect change.

​We'll cover:

• ​The day to day - what does 'taking climate action at work' actually look like for them? What does their company actually do?

• ​Tips and tricks for finding peers, and a new role, working on climate.

• ​Opportunities to make a difference that are unique to product managers and designers!

• ​Their path, and what they've learnt along the way.

• ​...and any of your burning questions!
