what is rise?

The climate crisis is no longer imminent. It is here. Coming together as sustainable winegrowing leaders is no longer optional, it is imperative.

Growers and vintners must play an increasingly active role in building social equity, conserving natural resources, reducing and drawing down GHG emissions and creating more resilient vineyards, businesses and communities.

Wines capture global attention, meaning our leadership can be an outsized force for change. This is a changemaking convening to enable the wine industry to leverage its powerful platform and set a standard for sustainability and climate action that galvanizes the global wine community.
