This pivotal event aims to spotlight innovative solutions geared towards accelerating the global transition towards a cleaner and sustainable future. These solutions are not only crucial for the upcoming COP28 conference but also for reaching the Sustainable Development Goals. Our esteemed speakers will delve into the symbiotic relationship between the COP28 objectives and sustainable economic development.
In collaboration with the UK Department for Business & Trade (DBT) and MWAN, and co-organised by Kantar Advisory Partners, this event is made even more impactful thanks to the support of our esteemed members—Zef Concepts & Phyla Earth, Sustain:able, and Floras, and the participation of Biofuel Evolution.
