“As someone who already feels elbow-deep in AI, I love that there were still so many great takeaways. I was glued to my seat which is VERY UNLIKE ME! Would 100% recommend joining the AI Accelerator. A perfectly-paced, engaging session from start to finish.”

Why a Collective
The accelerator gives you your first AI skill set. The Collective keeps it current.
120+
new large-scale AI models released in 2025
That is around 10 a month. What you learn in week 3 of the accelerator has a new version by the time you use it at work.

Skills stick when you use them, share them and come back to them. Doing that alone, week after week, is hard. Doing it with peers is easier.

The skills you build need updating as fast as the work around them changes.

Why it matters
Climate and impact professionals need a say in how AI is used.
You might have doubts about AI. Many true impact leaders and changemakers arrive with them. It uses energy and water, it can repeat bias, and it is often sold with more hype than evidence. Those are the right questions to bring.
Decisions about which AI tools organisations buy, what data goes into them and who checks the output are being made now, often by IT and data teams. People who think about long-term impact on people and the planet need to be part of those decisions. The Collective gives you the skills and confidence to take part.
£950 + VAT founding price until 31 December 2026.
“For anyone working at the intersection of sustainability and systems change, AI literacy is no longer optional. I find the programme structured in a way that met me where I was and pushed me further than I expected and more importantly, gave me the tools to act on it.”
Caroline NjorogeVerified Changemaker
Sustainability leader
£950 + VAT founding price until 31 December 2026.
Who leads it
Katie's Monday briefing.
Katie Neck founded Sustained Futures and is the only global Ambassador to Anthropic for climate change and sustainability. Every Monday, Changemakers get her read on what changed in Claude and AI that week, what it means for climate work, and the ethical flag to watch.
It takes 10 minutes to read or watch, and it sets up everything else in the week.
“I'd highly recommend this programme. Come open minded to how AI can accelerate your progress within sustainability/impact driven roles.”

1. Explorer
Aware AI is changing how you work. Curious. Not yet acting.
e.g. using AI chatbots to draft your emails.
2. Learner
Using AI tools for routine tasks with some guidance.
e.g. analysing spreadsheets.
3. Collaborator
Integrating AI into workflows. Evaluating outputs critically.
e.g. automating daily and weekly routine tasks.
4. Changemaker
Designing AI-enabled processes, saving hours and days in automations.
e.g. building live data tools, platforms and offerings.
5. Pioneer
Shaping AI strategy, governance, and responsible adoption inside your industry.
e.g. writing the AI policy for your company, and leading your industry.
How you move up your AI skills levels.
- 1
Answer the level questions
Each AI skills level has 10 questions, starting at Explorer. They test what you know and do, not how you rate yourself.
- 2
Score 10 out of 10 to move up
Pass a level to unlock the next one. Levels go in order, so nobody skips ahead. Miss one, and you can try that level again the following week.
- 3
Practise between attempts
Masterclasses, build studios and your use cases give you the real work behind each level, so the next attempt is backed by doing.

“I so enjoyed the course and look forward to digging into the classes I missed and continuing to build my confidence and capabilities. The course has brought a new level of enthusiasm, thoughtfulness, and creativity to my work and I'm excited about how I've already integrated it into my ways of working and know there is so much more.”

The Changemaker pledge
I pledge.
Every Changemaker makes the same pledge when they join. Your AI level check-ins and the Collective hold you to it.
To upskill in ethical, responsible use of AI, to do more of what matters.
To use my skills to further the positive impact work I am already part of.
To support others, build communities of practice and share my skills with others.
