We welcome researchers in different fields, civil society organizations, security experts, preparedness and rescue organizations, artists, activists, students, educators and others to discuss risks related to climate change in an open and equal space. The festival is organized by Safer Climate & the Committee of 100 in Finland (Sadankomitea) together with the Finnish Meteorological Institute, Sivis Study Centre and Helsinki International Film Festival Love & Anarchy.
