The Buzz 1: Sustainability is no longer just a buzzword, but an environmental, economic and social driver that’s changing our day-to-day lives… committing to sustainable practices is no longer a “nice to have” but a “must do”…. (forbes.com) The Buzz 2: The fully circular shoe brand Thousand Fell launched in 2019 embracing the circular economy, but the linear ‘take-make-waste’ system continued to drive fashion. In 2020, France's new anti-waste law prevented the destruction of unsold items and in 2021, its new Repairability Index required manufacturers to rate their electrical products on a scale out of ten on how easy they were to repair. The Buzz 3: Technologies shaping the sustainability agenda: Public electric transport. Electric trucks. Cheap energy storage. Plastic recycling. LED light efficiency. Accessible solar power. Carbon capture and storage. Hydrogen in the energy transition. (mckinsey.com) The Buzz 4: Sustainability headlines: Synthetic fuels are the future of Formula One. Climate tech start-ups raised a record $32B globally as of October 2021. India’s Mahindra Group expects 50% of vehicles sold by 2030 to be electric. UK aims to boost solar by predicting cloud movements with A.I. Aviation is Changing: hydrogen planes, electric propulsion and new regulations. We’ll ask Chris Rezendes, Jen Beason, Rana Chakrabarti and Dr. Amanda Kiessel for their take on “The Future of Sustainability and Technology: Enough for Tomorrow?”
