The impacts of a warming planet are increasingly evident, affecting vital aspects of life such as shelter, food, water, energy, and medicine. In response, many nations have pledged to significantly reduce their greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate climate change.
However, achieving genuine sustainability involves more than just lowering emissions; it necessitates a fundamental transformation across various industries, including agriculture, transportation, and healthcare, in order to align with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Innovation is at the heart of the great green transition. This transition requires the development of new, clean technologies alongside the scaling of existing, effective solutions. To drive this change, industry leaders, disruptive innovators, and ambitious startups must work together to create blueprints for a sustainable future. According to Andy Lürling from LUMOLabs, sustainable societies rely on establishing systems and infrastructures that encourage individuals to take better care of themselves and their environments.
Significant discussions around these transformative technologies will take place at the Financial Times Future of AI Summit on November 6-7, in partnership with TNW. This summit will explore cutting-edge advancements in AI and how these innovations can be successfully scaled to foster growth and sustainability across various sectors.
Evidence of climate action is becoming increasingly visible, with initiatives accelerating faster than ever before. To maintain this momentum, TNW has refreshed its themes for the upcoming TNW Conference 2025, taking place in Amsterdam on June 19-20. One of the main themes, “Sustainable Societies,” is aimed at climate advocates, startups, investors, and anyone interested in how technology can contribute to the sustainability movement.
To address the complexity of sustainability, the “Sustainable Societies” theme is organized around four main pillars: innovations tackling the water crisis, the future of food from farm to table, building a sustainable healthcare system and turning environmental challenges into opportunities. Those interested in exploring these essential topics can purchase tickets for the TNW Conference now.
