Learn & Get Inspired by Sustainability Practitioners and Entrepreneurs

 

It’s inarguable that the youth is leading an important movement on climate action, but is raising awareness enough? Could a youth make an actual impact on climate change while doing it sustainably?

We shall examine and discuss such topics with academia, entrepreneurs, thought leaders, and investors to explore where the opportunities related to climate actions are and how they can be correlated to youth’s personal and career developments.

PLENARY 1

Partnership for Success: Climate Action

From rising sea levels to water shortage caused by extreme weather, it is inarguable that the leading youths play a vocal role in driving change within business and community. Many of them are taking a proactive role by participating in UN SDGs hackathon, summer programs and start-up contests to formulate or deploy their solutions.

What are the most effective ways to bring on these climate actions? And how could companies, government and investors play a role in joining forces to help youths materialise these solutions?

Against the backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic, companies are making change and what strategies would make them strive or thrive? What can we learn from these leaders over the course of a short 7-8 months?

Why is ESG playing a more important role now than ever?  Whether the post-pandemic is being called the ‘new normal’ or ‘next normal’, what does it mean to our future leaders? And what actions should our future leaders take to create a sustainable future?
