The recent energy crisis, triggered by the Ukrainian conflict, has further challenged the old economic models that the pandemic had already eroded. There is a growing awareness among people and companies that the economy and the way we do business needs to be rethought to make it fit for achieving a more sustainable future, both in terms of the environment and society.
 
How can we rethink the global economy aiming at autonomous and net-zero energy systems? How to act sustainably to foster socio-economic prosperity?
 
During this meeting, Jeffrey Sachs, economist and leading expert on sustainable development, will share with participants a reflection on sustainability and how a radical change is needed not only in net-zero energy systems but also in the ethical-social dynamics that go along with these changes.
 
In particular, the following aspects will be explored:

• Global economy and new economic models of sustainable development
• The challenge of decarbonization for a green transition
• Goals for the best possible future: economic, ethical and social sustainability.
