Terra Tuscany: three days of climate action

Note to our community: After curating the agenda and speakers for the successful inaugural edition of Terra Tuscany, illuminem has stepped back from involvement in the 2025 edition due to commercial decisions made by the event's organizing company.

Terra Tuscany is a targeted three-day climate action gathering for sustainability leaders. It will convene a select group of around 80 sustainability leaders, including Chief Sustainability Officers and Environmental leaders.

The event will take place on September 2-4 (Pisa, Tuscany, Italy) in the sustainable setting of Villa Lena, a villa nestled between Pisa and Florence and lauded by VOGUE as a "dream vacation destination for barefoot luxury.”

Bringing together climate leaders in a collaborative setting, Terra Tuscany presents a unique opportunity to work towards the objectives outlined in SDG17 align with SDG17, "Partnerships for the Goals." With limited seats available, it ensures an intimate environment where leaders can learn from each other, inspire one another, and collectively take action toward addressing climate challenges.
