Combating climate change and contributing to sustainability is the need of the hour; our earth needs our commitment – it is now or never. Around the globe, countries, universities, businesses, communities, and individuals are responding to this by taking ambitious steps to build a sustainable future. Collaboration among corporates, academia, startups, a new generation of sustainability thinkers, doers, and innovators is essential to make real what matters.
