Life on earth has crossed number of tipping points due to planetary emergencies.
Environmental risks are perceived to be critical long-term threats to the planet, with “climate action failure”, “extreme weather”, & “biodiversity loss” ranked as the three most severe risks as per the WEF Global Risk Report 2022. Without major interventions, these risks will soon reach a critical stage.
Since there is no Planet B, it is high time to act. Addressing the global challenges involves a critical step of achieving sustainability in an integrated an coordinated manner at the global, national, regional, & local levels.
The solutions for these risks need to be adapted to the local context and priorities, thereby bridging the gap between local actions and global impacts.
The 17th Sustainability Summit will bring to fore global ideas and thought leadership that will inspire action at the local level to drive sustainability transition. The Summit will build discussions on innovative approaches for businesses, governments, and institutions to address risks and opportunities in an integrated way that will build the foundation for a sustainable tomorrow.

There is an intrinsic link between the issues associated with climate, ecosystems, and society. Changes in one may lead to severe consequences in another. The impacts of climate catastrophes reverberate around the globe through natural and socio-economic systems. Loss of biodiversity, growing pollution, and the pandemic are intertwined with rising inequality affecting the most vulnerable. As the systems are connected, the potential for crises to spread grows ever greater. Unprecedented global risks have given rise to a constantly changing world. There is more evidence than ever that unplanned and uncontrolled development has risked the Earth systems with irreversible consequences. In order to convert these risks into opportunities, it is important to understand the interconnections with natural, socio-economic, and human systems. Local and regional involvement is equally significant to stimulate effective bottoms-up transformation. Global and local stakeholders representing government and businesses should recognize the interdependent nature of global challenges. The session will address global sustainability risks, the interconnections and how to convert them into opportunities. It will highlight how integrated local and regional actions can propel change for a better tomorrow. ![]()

India has become the third-largest startup ecosystem in the world after the US and China as per the Economic Survey 2021-22. New age startups have focused on innovative and economically viable solutions to accelerate environmental and social impact. Climate change catastrophes, water crisis, health concerns, and pollution, over the last decade have attracted the attention of entrepreneurs. Evolving technologies and policies globally, as well as private investments have created a healthy ecosystem for start-ups to experiment and develop solutions suited for India. India is making conscious efforts to change lifestyles, support communities and conserve resources. The role of startups is vital in taking leaps towards sustainable development. The session will focus on environmental and social startups who are changemakers in creating a sustainable world. |

Air Pollution and its impacts on the environment and human health are threatening the integrity and security of economies and the quality of life, more so for low-middle income countries. Globally 99% of the population breaths dirty air, causing 4.2 million deaths every year due to ambient air pollution. The anthropogenic emissions responsible for ambient air pollution are intricately dependent on the current production and consumption trends. Product stewardship has therefore huge potential to address ambient air pollution as this approach extends beyond manufacturing processes and products, to include the supply chain and multiple product life cycles/stages. Companies can also gain a competitive edge by applying product stewardship for environmental friendlier products operations and services. Besides, Industry 4.0 sets forth the requirements for reducing emissions and becoming more sustainable where data management, the Internet of Things and extended product service systems are tightly linked with traditional manufacturing and logistic processes. Investors and society are looking for socially responsible businesses and Business models. ESG based investment are maturing and form a significant part of investors’ portfolio. The session will discuss how such strategies and frameworks can support the cleaner air and whether there is need of a separate framework to drive business agenda for product stewardship and clean air. |
