Energy inequality is one of the greatest challenges of our
time. For example, one in five people in the world has never used electricity, and residents of developed countries consume on average 100 times more electricity than residents of less affluent regions.
Energy inequality is one of the greatest challenges of our time. For example, one in five people in the world has never used electricity, and residents of developed countries consume on average 100 times more electricity than residents of less affluent regions. Recognizing this gap, development agencies, scientific communities, and corporations are coming together to neutralize greenhouse gas emissions and find new energy sources for transition to a low-carbon economy. How can we ensure climate justice and access to clean energy for all? Nuclear energy, hydroelectric power plants, bio- and geo energy, solar and wind energy - which of the alternative energy sources has the greatest potential? How are modern cities and industries reconfiguring to adapt to change and find new opportunities in energy efficiency?
The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the digitalization of social life, education, culture and health.
The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the digitalization of social life, education, culture and health. However, the “digital barrier” is more pressing than ever: UN experts suggest that this information gap may become the new face of inequality. Cases of digital transformation of those industries that were not previously associated with digital technologies, but in which social gaps are most visible, will be discussed within this session. Speakers will reveal how digitalization helps to develop inclusive mobility, optimize agricultural processes and stimulate cities to overcome modern challenges through technological intensification rather than large-scaled expensive infrastructure projects.
Experts say that ‘healthy people in healthy places are the fastest way to build a healthy economy’.
Experts say that ‘healthy people in healthy places are the fastest way to build a healthy economy’. Large companies are one of the main agents of change in the modern world — the challenging and ever-changing new reality to which all of us will have to adapt. Besides integrating ESG principles in their governing policies, corporate leaders can also ensure a more resilient, environmentally friendly future by paving a new path for building sustainably.
Vincent Breucq — the Director of the L'Oréal plant, which has recently become the first industrial facility worldwide with the highest-ranked green building certification status, will present the strategies that might help other business leaders champion a better quality of life for all by designing greener buildings and promoting a global sustainable mindset.
Humans have become the main driver of environmental change. Experts estimate that about 70% of natural resources have already been transformed for human needs, and by 2100, at the current rate of carbon emissions, 73% of animal and plant species will be threatened.

In August 2021, the UN Climate Group for the first time undeniably linked climate change to anthropogenic impact.
INTERVIEW
In August 2021, the UN Climate Group for the first time undeniably linked climate change to anthropogenic impact. Despite the efforts of corporations, states, representatives of scientific communities and ordinary citizens, humanity may lose the battle for the climate. With current environmental trajectories, the temperature of the Earth might rise by almost 5 degrees Celsius by 2100. We need to prevent it by all means. Climate leaders will update us on programs, initiatives or solutions that have proven to be most effective and help to combat global warming.
An increase in the proportion of the elderly population and a growing staff shortage is leading to a change in age brackets in the labor market.
PANEL DISCUSSION
An increase in the proportion of the elderly population and a growing staff shortage is leading to a change in age brackets in the labor market. However, according to the World Health Organization, every second person in the world is still believed to hold ageist attitudes. In addition, according to LinkedIn co-founder Allen Blue, the focus on green business and the adoption of clean technology will affect half of the global workforce. Dismantling discrimination and developing green skills might become the main driver of building a healthy and fair labor market. How to ensure the active involvement of older people and reintegrate them into social life? What strategies and tools will help Millennials and Gen Z build successful careers?
Inclusion, equality, and diversity are the three pillars of sustainable social development, without which no progressive company can be imagined today.
SHOWCASE
Inclusion, equality, and diversity are the three pillars of sustainable social development, without which no progressive company can be imagined today.

Although gender inequality has decreased by nearly 20% in the past decade, however, at the current pace of change, the global gender gap will not be closed for another 130 years.
What corporate programs will help accelerate the reduction of gender asymmetries in the labor market? How to overcome the “glass ceiling” and “glass cliff” phenomenon?
For centuries, cities were forced to constantly take a ‘stress test’, facing financial and environmental crises, natural disasters, and social unrest.
PANEL DISCUSSION
For centuries, cities were forced to constantly take a ‘stress test’, facing financial and environmental crises, natural disasters, and social unrest. The year 2021 has proved that the only effective tool to resist the 'black swans' of globalization is the involvement of all stakeholders to create an anti-fragile future. How to implement a “Rethink, Restart, Cooperate” strategy and achieve sustainability in an ever-changing world? What will be the future of urban transport and public spaces? What solutions will enable cities to successfully withstand current crises?
According to the World Health Organization, 1 in 4 people suffers from mental health issues, and the risk of depression is 40% higher for big-city residents than for those who live in rural areas.
SHOWCASE
According to the World Health Organization, 1 in 4 people suffers from mental health issues, and the risk of depression is 40% higher for big-city residents than for those who live in rural areas. The Covid-19 pandemic and its accompanying shocks — the need for self-isolation, social and financial instability — according to UN predictions, may be leading to a global crisis of mental illness. What corporate programs to support the psychological well-being of employees are being launched by leading companies? What strategies can curb the development of a global mental health crisis?
Acknowledging the enormous impact of youth-driven actions and initiatives that have the potential to create a more sustainable future for all, the GIC hosts a special session.
