[Panel] SDG 7: How companies can work together to reach net zero

Affordable and clean energy sdg 7

Affordable and clean energy

We’ve created a four-part masterclass series on how and why innovation should be leveraged to meet pressing sustainability challenges and opportunities.

This third installment focuses on the SDG Compass visualisation tool – and in particular on Affordable and Clean Energy (UN SDG 7).

Renewable energies make up only 17% of total energy consumption, but energy is the dominant contributor to climate change, accounting for around 60 per cent of total global greenhouse gas emissions (UN).

In this panel talk we will be speaking to industry leaders and innovators about their predictions for the future of a world where clean energy and sustainability is at the forefront, as well as hearing about their sustainability strategy and key learnings in how to truly make a difference in the next ten years, towards 2030.

Discussion topics

  • Why current innovation efforts is failing to meet the Sustainable Development Goals
  • Business models and emerging technologies that are driving the change towards Affordable and Clean Energy
  • Where do you start as a practitioner, and what does an effective sustainability strategy look like?
