The CC (Climate Change) Investment Forum was founded by Max Studennikoff and its first event was held in London in 2018. The forum brings people of influence and affluence together: ultra-high-net-worth individuals, family offices, investors, innovators, scientists and policymakers with the purpose of brainstorming on the biggest challenges facing humanity and fostering investment in sustainable solutions and development for climate change, geopolitical conflicts, poverty, inequality and mental health. Previous CC Forums have been held in Paris, Zurich, Monaco under the patronage of H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco, Bahrain, Dubai and Los Angeles.
