Business, finance and tech leaders in sustainability from the Verbier Summit 2022
The world is burning, our oceans are heating up unsustainably, and the new UN IPCC science report says that we only have 4 years left to peak our global climate emissions. According to the Paris Agreement we need to get to Net-Zero emissions by 2050 to reach our 1.5c target. With more than $9tn per year needed to reach that goal, and $130 trillion committed to this transition at the recent COP26, we are entering a New Sustainable Future. But how will we do this? We aim to leverage the collective and creative power of business, finance, and tech to make this happen.
