Goals
Global carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels and cement have increased and hit a new record high of 36.6bn tonnes of CO2 in 2022. Four years of progress against poverty have been erased by Covid-19. More than ever, we must trigger strong and viable mechanisms to make the world a place we want to live in.
Since 2015 the UN Sustainable develepement goals have defined a path to this fair, healthy and sustainable world. One of the main challenges is to make our economical models converge towards those practices.
The Sustainable Economy Forum aims at gathering Economic and political leaders to assess what have been done and what will have to be done in terms of sustainable development, sector by sector. It will materialize the corporations contributions to the global goals meeting.
The Sustainable Economy Forum is built with its partners, a group of companies for which climate and social impact is as important as the financial result. We consider that the main entities able to change the way we produce and consume are companies and this is why the Sustainable Economy Forum is built by and around them.
One of the main objectives will be to define harmonized metrics to measure corporation efforts to meet Global Goals and to create a permanent debate space between institutions and companies about Sustainable practices and the corresponding regulatory framework.
Besides this goal, 12 topics will be studied by The Sustainable Economy experts with, as conclusion, a 2 days workshop during the annual event on the 6th and the 7th of November.
