Track: Climate Action

Companies can and should focus on reducing emissions by 1.5ºC, and commit to being net-zero, while still making higher profits. But what are the best ways to manage climate risks and at the same time explore their inherent opportunities? How can we address changes in the market and regulatory environment? And how do we speed up the low-carbon transition?

Pollution is a major problem for our health. There have been efforts made to tackle it on various fronts: new forms of urban transport, clean energy, responsible consumption… but is it enough? What’s left to be done? What opportunities can be grabbed to make sure everyone has a clean environment?

Our oceans give us food, well-being, materials, energy, and generate vast amounts of wealth – but the goods and services they provide will only be available as long as they’re in good health. Untold damage has been done in recent years, with around 50% of biodiversity lost. It’s time for the Blue Economy: a new industry where science, business and technology work together to restore the oceans, and an amazing growth opportunity in segments such as biotechnology, regenerative economy, and renewable energy.
