Unleashing Impact: How Do we Turbocharge Action?

Earth Room, Monday, 20 January, 2025, 17:00-18:00 CET

With the support of InTent.

This decade is crucial for the protection of our natural environment, and to address the urgent need to mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change. While global initiatives have made meaningful steps, significant action gaps remain across sectors and countries. Despite widespread support for science-based solutions from progressive leaders, persistent and growing roadblocks hinder progress. This session invites a provocative, frank discussion with key experts to explore solutions.

How can leaders unleash impact in a changing geopolitical and economic landscape and turbocharge action?
