Climate Chance Summit Europe 2022

Pitch Corner

What is the Pitch Corner ?

On 31 January, 2022, Climate Chance launched a call for contributions of best practices in climate action, at the global level but particularly for the European continent.

This call for contributions is aimed at all local actors involved in the fight against climate change, wishing to share their initiatives and innovations at a global scale.

In a very short period of time, over two weeks, Climate Chance received one hundred projects in response to the call for contributions. 29 of these contributions were selected to be presented during the Pitch Corner at the Climate Chance Summit Europe 2022.

The Pitch Corner is a unique space for participants to present their best practices. Throughout the Climate Chance Summit, on 7 & 8 March, each project leader could “pitch” their projects for 10-15 minutes. The Pitch Corner brought together a wide range of non-state actors from all over Europe, in the main hall of the Cité des Congrès in Nantes.

Prior to the Climate Chance Summit, the most replicable and innovative projects were selected and thus won a place in the Pitch Corner.
