About this event
If you care about climate and want to meet the people shaping the conversation in Lisbon, this is a simple, high-signal place to start. Climate Mixer: April Edition brings together people who are curious, active, and committed to building stronger climate community connections in person. Whether you work in climate already or you are looking for a way in, this meetup is designed to make it easier to have real conversations with others who share your interest in climate, community, and practical action. Expect a social atmosphere with substance: welcoming, conversational, and focused on meaningful connection. What Is This? Climate Mixer: April Edition is an in-person community meetup for people who want to connect around climate in Lisbon. It is part networking event, part social gathering, and part local community touchpoint for anyone interested in the people, ideas, and projects shaping climate work and climate-minded action. This is not a formal conference or a highly structured seminar. The format is intentionally accessible: come as you are, meet new people, reconnect with familiar faces, and spend an evening in a room full of others who care about climate-related topics. The value of a mixer like this is in the mix itself. You may find founders, researchers, organizers, professionals, students, creatives, policy-minded thinkers, or people who are simply trying to understand where they fit in. That range makes for better conversations and more useful connections. If you have ever wanted an easier way to plug into the local climate scene without needing a formal introduction, this event creates that opening. It gives people a reason to show up, start talking, and build relationships that can continue beyond one evening. What to Expect The evening begins at 6:30 PM GMT+1 on Tuesday, April 28 and is designed to feel easy to enter. You can expect a relaxed arrival, time to settle in, and plenty of opportunities to start conversations naturally rather than feeling like you need to know the room already. While the event is centered on networking and community, the experience is likely to feel more human than transactional. Instead of rushing through introductions, attendees can take the time to talk about what brought them there, what they are working on, and what parts of the climate space they want to explore next. You can expect a mix of activities and moments such as: Casual introductions with people from different parts of the climate ecosystem Open-ended conversations about projects, ideas, challenges, and opportunities Community building with others who care about climate in and around Lisbon Cross-disciplinary networking that can spark future collaborations or friendships A social atmosphere that makes it easier to connect without needing a perfect pitch Some people will come ready to share active work. Others will come to listen, learn, and get a sense of the local landscape. Both are a good fit. The point is not to perform expertise; it is to create the conditions for useful, genuine exchange. Why Attend Climate work can feel fragmented. People are often spread across different sectors, organizations, and interest areas, even when they care about similar outcomes. An event like this helps close that gap by putting people in the same room and making connection easier. If you are looking to expand your network in a way that is actually relevant to your interests, this is a practical place to do it. You may leave with a better sense of who is doing what locally, which conversations are emerging, and where your own interests intersect with the community. Attending can help you: Meet people in Lisbon's climate community in a low-pressure setting Discover potential collaborators across community, startup, research, policy, or creative work Build momentum if you have been wanting to become more active in climate-related spaces Learn through conversation by hearing what others are focused on right now Strengthen your local network with connections that can last beyond the event There is also value in simply being in the room. Climate can be a serious and demanding topic, and community matters. Spending time with others who care can sharpen your thinking, broaden your perspective, and remind you that local connection is part of how progress happens. Practical Details This event takes place in person in Lisboa, Portugal, making it a strong fit for anyone based locally or visiting and looking to connect with the climate community on the ground. Because it is an in-person mixer, the emphasis is on live conversation, informal networking, and the energy that comes from being present together. The mixer starts at 6:30 PM GMT+1 on Tuesday, April 28. Evening timing makes it accessible for people joining after work, study, or other daytime commitments, and it sets the tone for a conversational, social gathering rather than a formal daytime program.
