Regenerative Living Zurich 5.0
Co-hosted by GreenUp and AdvantiKA during Climate Week Zurich
On 6 May 2026, GreenUp co-hosted the fifth edition of Regenerative Living Zurich with AdvantiKA.
The event took place during Climate Week Zurich and brought together businesses, entrepreneurs, investors and community members. Impact Hub Zurich, Patagonia, Danone Switzerland and Dimarjan also supported the programme.
The day focused on how regenerative food systems, business models and finance are already taking shape in practice.
Our Role
GreenUp helped shape the programme and hosted two of the day’s sessions:
-
Carbon and nature-based solutions: A fishbowl discussion on whether carbon credits can finance a transition, which nature-based solutions are most promising, and how they can support insurance. GreenUp’s Nicole Keller hosted the session.
-
Co-creation on transformative finance: An unconference followed by breakout groups on the challenges and opportunities for transforming the financial system. Nicole Keller also hosted this session.
GreenUp’s work on behaviour change and community engagement, developed through the Climate Hub Davos and GoSimple, informed the event’s focus on turning ideas into collective action.

Key themes
Circular Economy Switzerland
CES Graubünden
Circularity and the circular economy are more than buzzwords. They offer concrete answers to the growing scarcity of our resources. Circular Economy Switzerland (CES) brings together actors from business, research, civil society, public administration and politics to advance the circular economy across Switzerland.
GreenUp is part of CES Graubünden, the regional group for the canton. In 2025, our Managing Director, Nicole Keller, helped bring the group to life. Together with partners across the region, we work to build a more resilient economy within planetary boundaries, by connecting people, sharing knowledge and strengthening local circular economy initiatives.
