Today, I had the privilege of speaking at the United Nations IGF meeting about the intersection of #innovation and #sustainability. Reflecting on the true meaning of ‘sustainability,’ it’s about much more than just conserving resources—it’s about creating systems that work effectively over the long term. This requires us to think deeply about inclusivity, equity, and resilience because a sustainable future must benefit everyone. Innovation plays a critical role in making this vision a reality. I’m honored to contribute to this global conversation and excited to continue exploring how we can align innovative practices with sustainable development to build a better, more equitable world.
