About this Event
The health of the planet and its inhabitants are at risk from decades of destructive human behavior and climate inaction. The Intergovernmental Panel Report on Climate Change Synthesis Report 2023, as communicated by Chair Hoesung Lee, "underscores the urgency of taking more ambitious action and shows that, if we act now, we can still secure a liveable sustainable future for all.”
This moderated Power Panel of female leaders in sustainability, environment, and public health will provide a lively conversation on the all hands on deck approach needed to engage everyone from children to corporate leaders to academics and policy makers to enact an ambitious enough approach to secure a livable future for all.
