–THE 2030 SOLUTIONS AGENDA: VISION, INNOVATION, ACTION! TOP-DOWN, BOTTOM-UP: Where do we want a COP21 agreement to take us?

How will an agreement in Paris shape a more sustainable future?

What are the roles of businesses and civil society in making a political agreement successful?

BREAKOUT SESSIONS: A Roadmap to the Energy Transition: Challenges & Solutions Empowering Cities to Become Drivers of Green Growth Corporate response to de-carbonizing economies by 2050

During the UN COP21, negotiators, ministers, and heads of state will convene with the aim of establishing a global deal and a future framework for addressing climate change.

Their ambitions need to be matched by an equally ambitious bottom-up movement.

The solutions for creating growth and innovation in a low-carbon and resource efficient world already exist at the intersection of governments, financial institutions, and large corporations. During the day, we will highlight best practices and proven concepts within these fields.

The aim is to give an overview of the current state of sustainable innovation and explore how existing knowledge can inspire cross-sector collaboration and partnerships.

TRANSFORMING THE WORLD IN THE NEXT 15 YEARS PARIS, DECEMBER 6, 2015 MARKS THE START OF A NEW GLOBAL BUSINESS VENTURE.

ACT I:

In collaboration with The UN Global Compact, we launch a global search for the entrepreneurs who can transform the Sustainable Development Goals into new opportunities and business ventures within the next 15 years.

The mission: to turn the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals into new opportunities for sustainable growth.

The strategy: to map and connect the solutions, entrepreneurs, and innovators who can build the sustainable world of tomorrow.

The newly adopted UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) give us exactly 15 years to tackle challenges ranging from eradicating poverty and hunger to limiting the effects of climate change. Reaching the 17 goals will not only mean solving the world’s biggest challenges, but also creating the most spectacular opportunities for the future.

When we stand at the finish line 15 years from now, we will have in our hands the recipe for a sustainable world and a shared understanding of what it means to be a leader in it. Reaching the SDGs will mean new business models, new types of policy makers and solutions, and new leadership.

NOW WE BEGIN THE SEARCH FOR THE NEW GENERATION OF INNOVATORS, ENTREPRENEURS, AND DREAMERS WHO, IN THE NEXT 15 YEARS, CAN CHALLENGE CURRENT UNSUSTAINABLE PRACTICES AND CREATE SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS MODELS.

TURNING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS INTO BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES

ACT II:

FASHION, FOOD AND FILM AS ARENAS OF SUSTAINABLE INNOVATION Sustainable development is happening in a variety of sectors, and solutions cannot be kept in the traditional silos. In this session you will learn how fashion, food, and film could be the role models for the next generation of innovative solutions.

ACT III:

THE TALE OF 100 SUSTAINABLE CITIES In cities all over the world, a nearly limitless number of innovative and cutting-edge solutions designed to address the far-reaching and ever-growing impacts of climate change already exist. C40 and Sustainia launch Cities100 - a catalogue of 100 city solutions for climate actions.

GRAND FINALE: SUSTAINIA AWARD CEREMONY The Sustainia Award is an annual international award given to a solution or project with significant potential to help build a more sustainable future.
