“Join us for the next one. If you don’t like it, I’ll give back the registration fee. Though I am sure you’ll learn, collaborate, be forced to think, and get some new ideas—all this in the 2–2.5 hours you spend with us,” says Harshvardhan Sharma, Co-founder of Planet Pact, the team that hosts Climate Talks.

And we at Green Pistachio can wholeheartedly vouch for that. Having attended several Climate Talks ourselves, we’ve seen each session explore a different climate theme—from careers in sustainability and climate justice to Scope 3 emissions and innovative climate solutions—but every one of them has been equally inspiring.

What keeps us coming back isn’t just the topics—it’s the people, the conversations, and the feeling that everyone in the room is genuinely there to learn from one another.

Climate Talks: August 2026

This August, we’re cheering a little louder because the spotlight is on a topic that’s especially close to our hearts: Waste Management—Urban and Rural.

If you’ve been following Green Pistachio for a while, you already know why. Through Sorting Out, our flagship initiative under the One for the Planet umbrella, we’ve spent the last year shining a light on waste management—telling stories of inspiring changemakers, encouraging people to rethink waste, and taking these conversations beyond the screen with two offline events.

So when Planet Pact announced this month’s theme for Climate Talks, it felt like the conversations we’ve been having all year had found another home. If there’s one thing we’ve seen reinforced time and again, it’s that waste management isn’t the responsibility of one individual, one organisation, or one policymaker. It takes all of us. And if there’s one place where conversations around this are honest, thought-provoking, and action-oriented, it’s Climate Talks.

That’s why we’re excited about this edition of Climate Talks. It brings all those voices into one room, making space for conversations that are practical, inspiring, and rooted in collaboration.

If we had to describe the vibe in one sentence, we’d say this: it’s like stepping into a room full of people who genuinely care. No one is trying to have the loudest voice or the perfect answer. People listen. They question. They laugh. They exchange contacts. They cheer each other’s work. And by the end of the evening, you don’t just leave with fresh ideas—you leave feeling like you’ve found your people. 

Register for the next Climate Talk and experience the vibe for yourself.

Can’t make it this time? You can still be part of the conversation. Share your questions, ideas, suggestions, or the climate issues you’d like to see discussed, and we’ll do our best to bring them into the room.

So, go ahead—step into the conversation and see where it takes you.
