As part of efforts to advance sustainability as a global practice beyond the year 2030, Clean Cyclers in collaboration with Sustainability Unscripted and other sustainability partners are set to host the 3rd Edition of the Global Sustainability Summit at the House of Lords, Palace of Westminster, United Kingdom.
With the theme, ‘Advancing Sustainability: A Journey Towards A Greener Future’, the summit holding on March 28 – 29, 2024, will serve as a platform for leading visionary experts, innovators and change makers in various global corporations, organisations and government agencies to brainstorm and strategize on the necessary adoption of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
According to the organizers, the summit will feature a panel session where issues bordering on the urgent attention to Climate Action, Circular Economy, Renewable Energy Revolution, Sustainable Cities, Biodiversity Conservation, Green Finance, Sustainable Agriculture and Climate Justice will be deliberated.
The summit will also honour and celebrate companies, governments, organizations and individuals that are taking practical scenarios in exemplifying and fortifying their commitment to sustainability, encompassing both the realization and actualization of short-term objectives and long-term goals.
Explaining further, the founder of Clean Cyclers, Mr. Canon Otto, the aim of the summit is to raise awareness, foster multidisciplinary collaboration, address global challenges with local solutions, champion social equity and inclusivity, prioritize climate action and environmental stewardship and identify policy pathways for sustainable development.
He further stated that with the theme of this year’s summit, “Advancing Sustainability”, the journey towards a Greener Future resonates as a clarion call to action, adding that it embodies the assertion that our current trajectory of resource consumption and environmental degradation is unsustainable.
Mr. Otto said, “The concept of sustainability encompasses a wide spectrum of practices, policies and innovations aimed at mitigating climate change, conserving biodiversity, protecting natural resources and promoting social equity.
“The theme of Advancing Sustainability reflects our inherent ability to learn, adapt and innovate. It calls for a fundamental shift in our collective mindset – from a short-term exploitative approach to a long-term regenerative one.
“It is through these remarkable endeavors that we have come to recognize the urgency and potential of embracing sustainability as a guiding principle in all aspects of human endeavors.
“Throughout this event, we will explore diverse perspectives, share knowledge and collaborate to shape actionable solutions that will drive meaningful change and accelerate our progress towards a sustainable future.
“This two-day physical event at the House of Parliament in London will serve as platform for knowledge exchange, collaboration and actionable solutions.”
