Agenda
Sustainability is no longer a distant concern; it has become an urgent necessity of our time. The recent report by the Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change, released in March of this year, unequivocally highlights the need for immediate action to avert irreversible risks. Human-induced global warming has already caused significant disruptions to our climate, and we stand at the precipice of crossing a dangerous tipping point. It is imperative that we swiftly transition away from fossil fuels and embrace a system-wide transformation to build climate resilience and promote environmental sustainability. The report emphasises the importance of scaling up both mitigation and adaptation efforts, calling for a substantial increase, at least six-fold by 2030, from current levels. While the report outlines the grave consequences of rising greenhouse gas emissions, it also offers hope by presenting cost-effective pathways to reduce these emissions. Achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions is crucial to limit further temperature rise. G7 countries, accounting for 40% of the global economy and 26% of emissions, have committed to achieving net zero by 2050, with China and Russia targeting 2060. India has set its sights on becoming net zero by 2070. However, the path to net zero must be navigated carefully to avoid exacerbating social inequalities and ensure corporate sustainability. The Mint Sustainability Summit - Charting the Most Optimal Path to a Green Economy - will convene the brightest minds in sustainability to address these critical questions. Together, we will explore the investments needed, funding mechanisms, and strategies to ensure a just transition as we chart a cost-efficient and seamless path towards a green economy. This summit will focus on sustainable development and corporate sustainability, bringing attention to the importance of environmental sustainability in achieving our global goals.
