Description
Climate change/crisis certainly brings us a lot of trouble. The year 2020, besides marking itself as the year of COVID-19, has shown us what devastation the climate change consequences could bring, namely raging wildfires in Australia and destructive floods in Japan and China.
However, tackling climate change/crisis also brings new economic and business opportunities. Indeed, an ever-increasing number of corporations and startups now focus on developing and marketing innovations that help people to mitigate climate change and to adapt to this global phenomenon. These innovations come as a response to the ever-increasing needs of the global economy and society in terms of sustainable production and consumption, renewable energy, eco-friendly transportation, organic agriculture, sustainable cities, etc.
What are the economic and business opportunities related to climate change that an entrepreneur could focus on?
What are the needs of the global economy in terms of climate solutions and innovations?
And where should an entrepreneur start from if he/she wants to develop an innovative GreenTech / CleanTech startups?
Answers to these questions you will find from our speaker Daniela Petrușevschi, current Country Office Director at
CIVITTA and former manager of the UNDP project “Energy and Biomass”.
The event is part of the GreenTech Rangers program organized by MEGA and Generator Hub and supported by the GEF Small Grants Programme implemented by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) in cooperation with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
