About Green Drinks

Originating in London in 1989, Green Drinks began as a simple idea: bring environmentally minded people together in a social setting to share ideas, build relationships and strengthen collective impact. What started as a small gathering has since grown into a global movement, with Green Drinks events now held in hundreds of cities around the world.

At its heart, Green Drinks is about connection. It brings together community members, sustainability professionals, students, business leaders, activists, researchers, government representatives and anyone with an interest in the environment. It’s a space to exchange ideas, spark partnerships, learn about local initiatives, and strengthen our shared commitment to protecting and restoring the natural world.
