The Sustain Exchange Summit, now in its fourth year, will bring leaders from organisations of all shapes, sizes and sectors together to explore how they can help avert the climate crisis. Taking place on Wednesday, 16th October at ICC Belfast, this conference will provide a platform for local leaders to address today’s most pressing sustainability challenges and learn how they can ensure a future for our children and grandchildren – the greatest leadership challenge of our time.
The summit will feature John Elkington, widely regarded as the ‘Godfather’ of global sustainability and creator of the ‘triple bottom line’ concept, alongside a host of world-renowned speakers including writer and broadcaster, Lucy Siegle, serial change-maker and environmentalist, Chris Hines MBE and UN Committee member, Eimear Manning.
Further contributions will come from a panel of local pioneers of sustainability including the Katrina Thompson from Artemis technologies – The Belfast based company on a mission to lead the decarbonisation of the maritime industry.
The Summit is delivered by the non-profit Management and Leadership Network (MLN) and supported by Belfast City Council, Danske Bank, ICC Belfast, Carbonfit and Solmatix Renewables.
MLN’s Jessica Higginson said: “The climate crisis is the biggest leadership challenge of our time. However, I believe that hope follows action, and the Sustain Exchange Summit will provide local leaders with insights, inspiration and impetus to act.
“This event is an example of true cross-sector collaboration and shared learning, and I would like to thank all of our partners for the leadership they are showing on this most important issue.”
There are a limited number of in-person places available for purchase for the event, which will take place at ICC Belfast between 10am–2.30pm.
