An impressive line-up of esteemed attendees from various fields—each contributing their unique perspectives to the discussions ahead – will mix and talk sustainability. The key themes on the agenda include: climate change mitigation, circular economy, clean technology, social impact, emerging technologies, and finance. The conference aims to bridge the gap between diverse industries, encouraging crosspollination of ideas and solutions. Organisers promise: Innovation is the best weapon in the fight against climate change and we shine the light on new solutions from the energy, transport, industrials, finance and the built environment sectors.
