The Economist's Sustainability Virtual Week

The Economist’s Sustainability Virtual Week will bring together industry leaders, policymakers, entrepreneurs and researchers to assess what businesses in particular, but also governments and NGOs, can do to rise to the challenge. How can solutions be scaled up to meet internationally agreed goals? Can the disruption of Covid-19 accelerate progress? How can we scale solutions, alter behaviours and collaborate better?

Over the past four years, The Economist’s Sustainability Summit has tracked the evolution of the sustainability imperative from a “nice to have” perk to a core component of business strategy. Amid the disruption of Covid-19, Sustainability Virtual Week will ask how businesses and governments can harness the disruption for good.

Across our virtual platform we will host over 1,000 attendees to assess the efforts under way to meet the ambitious target of reducing global net human-caused carbon-dioxide emissions to zero by 2050. Through panel discussions, roundtables and interviews we will ask how solutions can be scaled up and examine how sectors can work together for collaborative advantage.
