Creating a sustainable future goes way beyond closing coal-fired power plants. Increasingly, the onus is on all of us, as individuals, to ensure that the choices we make about the food we consume, the way we heat our homes or the way we fuel our cars are beneficial not just for us, but for everyone. Who should take the lead here? Government? Business? How do we encourage innovation that creates value for shareholders while protecting the planet? 

SESSION PARTNER

A post-growth economy puts life and everything needed to maintain it at the centre of economic and social activity. But what does this mean for emerging Europe, where most countries are still in the process of economic convergence with the western half of the continent? How do we ensure that post-growth does not leave these countries in limbo, lagging forever behind? 

SESSION PARTNER

A bold future will require bold leadership, from both today’s leaders and from tomorrow's. But it will also increasingly require collaboration: between countries, between regions, between the public and the private sector. How can we nurture a generation of leaders who will look for solutions and inspiration together, ready to create and share best practice across boundaries of all kinds? 

SESSION PARTNER

This session will consist of two separate fireside chats.

The Emerging Europe Awards programme recognises individuals and organisations from across the region which have contributed to building the kind of world that offers a secure, prosperous and inclusive future to all its citizens. The awards gala is where we make that recognition official, showcasing the very best of emerging Europe before an international audience.
