Ecosperity Week 2023 - Breakthroughs for Net Zero

In 2022 alone, extreme weather events - from the floods in Pakistan to heatwaves in Europe, hurricanes in the US and forest fires in Australia - have affected millions of lives and resulted in billions of dollars in damages.

Solving the climate crisis has been called "the moonshot of our generation". We need radical action and collaboration to avoid the worst effects of climate change on humanity. There have been strides in the right direction with commitments made, coalitions formed and developments in decarbonisation technology and international carbon markets, but geopolitical and economic crises threaten to impede climate progress. 

Themed “Breakthroughs for Net Zero", Ecosperity Week 2023 will bring together global business leaders, policy-makers, investors and civil society from across industries to address the high impact technology, policy and finance levers to bring about the transformational breakthroughs we need for our planet, businesses and communities. 

The morning plenaries over three days will focus on fast-tracking decarbonisation, enabling net-zero cities and financing Asia’s net-zero transition.

As a convening platform, Ecosperity Week will also feature a line-up of other thematically aligned events by like-minded partners in the afternoons. These breakout sessions take the form of panels, roundtables, workshops and pitch sessions, and provide a platform for more action-oriented dialogue and networking opportunities.

Ecosperity Week is a by-invitation event. For enquiries on attending and partnerships, please write to us at ecosperity@temasek.com.sg.
