Global warming and increasingly intense weather patterns around the world point to an environment in crisis. A sense of urgency has led businesses, investors, and governments to incorporate sustainability and ESG considerations into business strategies and public policies. However, growing public sentiment holds that much more needs to be done to reduce carbon emissions, transition to clean energy sources, develop new technologies and tools, and mobilize more investment capital for sustainability-linked projects. Speakers in this session will propose and review concrete actions that could accelerate progress to a more sustainable future across a range of industries that are integral to our way of life.
