Attending the Global Sustainability Summit was a remarkable experience, one that nurtured a growing collective commitment to promoting a greener future. The striking energy of the summit bore witness to the practical solutions and actionable insights presented across various domains. From a professional standpoint, the summit underscored the strategic importance of sustainability. Discussions on circular economy principles presented valuable frameworks for integrating sustainable practices within the business model. Mission 2030 talks about energy goals to significantly reduce dependence on fossil fuels and accelerate the adoption of renewable energy sources. Such a shift towards sustainability is spoken about as a key driver of future success for businesses. The summit's discussions on collaboration and collective action were particularly impactful, leaving a lasting impression on the audience. Observing the commitment of organizations and individuals to work together has left me optimistic about our collective ability to create a sustainable future. It is now our shared responsibility to translate these powerful discussions into real-world change. By doing so, we can create a sustainable future for our planet, our businesses, and future generations. #Sustainability #ESG #CircularEconomy #ClimateAction #BusinessAction #NetZero #India2030

As global leaders gather at Cop29 in Baku, Azerbaijan, I'm reminded of a key takeaway from my recent article on the circular economy: “We need to increasingly shift to these nature-based solutions, reduce use of virgin- and fossil-based materials, and increase use of renewable and regeneratively grown resources.” Dr. Felix Philipp. While the global climate summit has had some successes so far, such as Brazil and the UK announcing ambitious new climate action plans, there are still challenges, including diplomatic tensions and the potential withdrawal of the United States from future funding deals. The success of COP29 will largely depend on whether these financial and diplomatic hurdles can be overcome. But some private banks are stepping up their bets on the “circular economy”. Many experts believe this cycle, in which materials never become waste and nature is regenerated, is fast becoming a megatrend. Please read my latest for Professional Wealth Management (PWM) with commentary from Dr. Felix Philipp of Lombard Odier Group, Yi Shi of Pictet Asset Management, Martin Conroy, CFA of KBI Global Investors and Georgios Sakoulis of GMO. #COP29 #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #Innovation #ClimateAction https://lnkd.in/etUrHWrr

🌍 And that's a wrap! #ClimateWeekNYC was both energizing and insightful. I had the opportunity to engage with brilliant thought leaders, startups, corporates, and policymakers. Key takeaways: 1️⃣ #Circularity & #Climate Are Linked Scaling up circularity is essential for a decarbonized future. Encouraging to see this theme gaining traction, with hopes for more at COP29 Azerbaijan. 2️⃣ Eye-Opening Stat The weight of human-made objects now exceeds all living species—something to reflect on. William McDonough’s insights on using nature as a model, especially trees, were fascinating. 3️⃣ Academia & Finance Are All In Great to see investment from universities and financial institutions. Exciting work from Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment and Center on Global Energy Policy around #ThematicBonds and #SolarRecycling. 4️⃣ Critical Minerals Matter The mining sector plays a crucial role in circularity, both in operations and end-product lifecycle. Accenture is leading thought on this ahead of COP29. 5️⃣ Startups Are Leading Startups are essential to this transition. Special shoutout to Xerion Advanced Battery Corp, Endolith, SOLARCYCLE, PHNX Materials, Factorial Energy,Newlab, SE Ventures, Overture , Derek Handley 6️⃣ Policymakers Making Progress Policymakers are giving circularity much-needed attention. There’s a critical need to modernize outdated frameworks designed for a linear economy. Thanks to Ellen MacArthur Foundation for curating opportunities to debate such topics 7️⃣ AI & Energy Interesting tension between the energy demands of #ArtificialIntelligence and #DataCenters and decarbonization. The concept of "additionality" is gaining momentum—will we see recycled green copper next? Finally, I had the chance to virtually join #FTMining Summit earlier today, where I discussed circularity’s potential to help alleviate supply-demand gaps. The wider mining industry could benefit from embracing broader innovation, and thinking outside our own echo chambers!
