Re-inventing green leadership: Collectivity vs fragmentation?
October 14th-15th, 2024 | Divani Apollon Palace & Thalasso, Vouliagmeni, Athens
The Economist Impact Events, in partnership with SDSN Greece, have great pleasure in announcing the organisation of The Eighth Sustainability Summit for SE Europe and the Mediterranean, which is going to take place on October 14th- 15th, 2024 in Athens.
This event is taking place at a time when there is widespread concern that the sustainability agenda could be pushed into the background, due to the geopolitical upheaval and fragmentation of international order following the Russian invasion to Ukraine and the Israel-Gaza war. However, it is obvious that humanity has no time to lose. The climate crisis, the post-pandemic energy and supply-chain crises, the loss of biodiversity, persistent drought in many regions, refugee flows, and increased inequality, inter alia, constitute a cluster of mutually reinforcing emergencies. This means that there is a need for urgent co-ordinated actionat a global scale.
Within this context, heads of state, nobel laureates, European and international institutional heads, business and finance leaders and academics from both sides of the Atlantic shall join us in person, to brainstorm, to openly debate and put forward new ideas and new proposals through a meaningful and constructive dialogue.
