Session: Mobilizing a Movement for Good: Accelerating Sustainability
Sustainability is the challenge of our times. We have the opportunity, responsibility and obligation to our future generations to make a real impact through the trifecta of private, public and non-profits. The future is ours to shape and technology, together with data, can incite and accelerate the journey to net zero.Key Takeaways
- This moment represents an opportunity for every organization, every nation and the trifecta - public, private, non-profits - to reinvent themselves with a sustainable future in mind.
- We have the opportunity, responsibility and obligation to our future generations to make a real impact and each of us has an important role to play in the sustainability journey.
- We can't change what we can't see. Visibility through data incites action, and technology is the accelerator to the journey to net zero
