KEYNOTE FIRESIDE CHAT: KEEPING UP THE PACE—SUSTAINING MOMENTUM AND AMBITION TO
COP28 AND BEYOND
With COP28 aspiring to mobilise the general public, not just increase awareness,
what are stakeholders doing to achieve this? How does the experience of previous
COPs inform COP28 as it focuses on immediate action by governments and
businesses? Given that environmental goals rely on long-term planning but
climate-change pressures grant little time, how can stakeholders from government
to business manifest a greater sense of urgency?

PANEL: EDUCATION FOR NET ZERO: TEACHING LEADERS TO MAKE THE MOST OF THE
TRANSITION ECONOMY
As the world moves towards a net-zero economy, leaders need the skills to
effectively navigate this momentous transition. Change now happens faster than
organisations can comfortably adapt, while bosses find themselves wishing for a
more comprehensive education in engaging with stakeholders and supply-chain
partners. How are educators and their institutions working to meet leaders’
needs amid the energy transition? How can learning work to unlock economic
potential and growth opportunities? And what transformative educational
paradigms will help power emerging sectors, innovative business models and new
jobs in a more sustainable future?

ECONOMIES TO TACKLE WASTE
Waste does not vanish. Humans dispose of over 2bn tons of household waste a year
globally. That’s more than 60 tons every second, causing multiple environmental
issues. Throwaway culture generates huge amounts of unnecessary carbon dioxide
and destroys the planet’s biodiversity through the unnecessary use of natural
resources. How can companies work to develop truly circular supply chains while
delivering profit to shareholders? What models are needed to turn policy into
action and how will the transition to circularity be funded?

How can consumers be encouraged to prioritise sustainable clothing lines and

SCALE? STRATEGIES FOR COMPANIES TO TAKE ADVANTAGE
With high risks in commodity and energy resilience and cost, disruptive climate
events, and increasing reputation risks, why are more companies not more radical
in inventing new, more competitive and resilient business models? Most companies
are very good at optimising within their current business model. But it’s a lot
harder to innovate the entire business model. What have some companies done to
disrupt the ‘business as usual’ approach, and how can the rising risk of
significant market disruption in response to climate change spur companies on to

PANEL: BALANCING OBJECTIVES— HOW CFOS AND CSOS CAN PURSUE SUSTAINABILITY AND
FINANCIAL GROWTH
It may seem that CFOs and CSOs have different objectives. While the CFO is
responsible for financial planning and analysing the business strengths and
weaknesses from the cost and profit perspective, the CSO’s role may not be as
defined and also depends on the nature of the business. But how can the CFO and
the CSO meet both of their objectives by working together? What are the examples
of successful collaboration in practice?

As the world moves towards a net-zero economy, leaders need the skills to

organisations can comfortably adapt, while bosses find themselves wishing for a
more comprehensive education in engaging with stakeholders and supply-chain

potential and growth opportunities? And what transformative educational
paradigms will help power emerging sectors, innovative business models and new

FIRESIDE CHAT: GFANZ—HAS THE WORLD ECONOMY ADJUSTED TOWARDS A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
Achieving the ambitious objective of limiting global temperature increases to
1.5°C from pre-industrial levels requires a transformative, whole-economy
transition. Every company, bank, insurer, and investor must now reassess its
business models, develop credible strategies for the transition to a low-carbon,
climate-resilient future, and ultimately implement these plans. The Glasgow
Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ) has emerged as a promising initiative
aimed at accelerating the transition to a net-zero economy. But has it made a
meaningful impact, or is it just empty rhetoric?. Has it been successful in
mobilising private capital towards sustainable investments and are its members
truly committed to transitioning their portfolios to net-zero emissions?

Electrification is heralded as a fundamental solution to the climate crisis.
However, is it only moving the problem out of sight? The Democratic Republic of
Congo (DRC) stands as a focal point for this unsettling nexus, with UNICEF
estimating 40,000 innocent young souls are subjected to the horrors of child
slavery in the relentless pursuit of cobalt extraction. Does mining cobalt and
lithium for electric cars and other renewable energy sources increase pollution
and social injustice, rather than remedy it? What can be done to ensure that
critical mineral supply chains are slavery free and the pollution from their
extraction does more good than harm?

more sustainable energy system, including advocacy for a better supported UK
community energy sector, and the deployment of innovative, participatory
techniques for place-based just transition planning in North Yorkshire. He
recently directed a project exploring BECCS Done Well: conditions for success
for Bioenergy Carbon Capture and Storage, including the conditions that would
need to be complied with to demonstrate a positive contribution to a just
transition. Martin joined Forum in 2005 to develop and lead a built
environment sector team, working with numerous national and international
property, construction, infrastructure and utility businesses to inform and
shape their sustainability strategies projects related to bio-energy,
community energy, and circularity. Martin has a Geography degree and a MSc in
European Environmental Policy & Regulation, and started his career in

KEYNOTE PANEL: TRANSITIONING AN OIL-BASED ECONOMY TO A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
Fossil fuels are currently responsible for 65% of global greenhouse-gas
emissions. For decades, fossil fuels have been the driving force of Middle
Eastern economies. How are these two factors being approached in the Middle
East? What can others learn from Middle Eastern initiatives? Where is the rest
of the world on its journey towards clean energy? Is it possible for a
corporation to achieve a shift to 100% renewable energy? How can business help
drive policy action through ambition loops?

CLOSING PANEL: A CIRCULAR POLICY FOR THE UAE’S AVIATION SECTOR
Aviation is a sector plagued by a significant waste issue, with the
International Air Transport Association (IATA) estimating an alarming 6.7
million tons of waste generated annually. This includes 23% of untouched food
and drink, along with 17% comprising recyclable materials like plastic bottles
and newspapers. Complicating matters further, global policies diverge on how
airlines should handle their waste. In light of this challenge, Etihad Airways
and Abu Dhabi Airports have embarked on a collaborative effort to combat airline
waste. How are they working together to reduce waste? Moreover, what actionable
steps can be taken to drive circularity and ultimately reduce waste across the
airline industry as a whole?
