Emerging market leadership and collaboration to catalyse global green growth
Today more than half of the world’s top 20 countries investing in clean tech infrastructure are emerging markets. Innovative government policy change to support low-carbon development in these countries is encouraging. However achieving both inclusive and sustainable national development will remain challenging with growing pressures from global warming, water scarcity and food security. How then can emerging markets continue this green growth transformation and lead the global green economy? What kind of partnerships between governments, business and civil society can be put in place to provide the food, water and other resource needs of a future population of 9 billion people? This high-level panel of expert leaders will share success stories and collaborative approaches towards accelerating global green growth and providing equitable opportunity for all.

Plenary discussion panel
Boosting rural economies through climate smart agriculture and landscapes
Agriculture is the largest employer in the world, the largest single land-use, the largest threat to natural
ecosystems, and the human enterprise most vulnerable to climate change. However, without a more sustainable
approach to agriculture, we will not have sustainable societies or a sustainable planet. To boost rural economies
and tackle these issues we must embrace a new approach that acknowledges the interconnected nature of our
world and a smart landscape approach that integrates trees into agricultural landscapes. This panel will discuss
some of the financial, social and environmental benefits that tree-based systems can deliver, and
share ideas to accelerate the scale-up of smart landscape transformation.

Solutions for inclusive, green and sustainable urban development

The world is currently undergoing the largest wave of urban growth in history with more than half our global population living in cities. This massive surge in development of building, transport, energy, water and waste infrastructure, places additional pressures on the environment and society. A more inclusive and sustainable approach to urban development must provide solutions that improve the environment and preserve natural resources while involving and empowering marginalised communities. The distinguished speakers on this panel will provide examples of inclusive and sustainable urban development solutions and discuss the policy changes and investments needed to create the equitable, green and smart cities of the future.

Inclusive business models advancing environmental sustainability
The International Finance Corporation defines inclusive business as ‘a private sector approach to providing goods, services, and livelihoods on a commercially viable basis to people at the base of the pyramid by incorporating them in the value chain of the core business as suppliers, distributors, retailers, and/or customers’.
Inclusive business is found across regions and sectors, including telecommunications, infrastructure, agribusiness, retail, distribution, affordable housing, health, and education. This panel of experts will share insights and examples of how inclusive business models can also have a positive impact on the environment.

Financing emerging market green growth – A new blueprint for action
In making the transition to a green economy many emerging market governments are revising their approach to national planning and introducing policy-frameworks and investment plans to support clean energy infrastructure, green job creation, clean water and energy access, sustainable agriculture systems and low-carbon development. However with only limited private investment currently available to fund these green growth programmes, innovative financing mechanisms and public-private partnerships will be needed to ensure their long-term success. This distinguished group of business and finance leaders will present their ideas for managing risk and increasing capital flow and propose an improved framework for investing in global green growth.

Plenary discussion panel
Integrating natural capital valuation into business
Growing business demand for natural capital, and falling supply due to environmental degradation and events such as drought, are contributing to natural resource constraints including water scarcity. This is raising business and investor interest in understanding environmental externality costs. Understanding natural capital risk and opportunities is essential for businesses to position themselves in an increasingly resource constrained world. This panel will explore how businesses and investors can take account of natural capital impacts in decision making to manage risk and gain competitive advantage.

Plenary discussion panel
Increasing clean energy in developing and emerging markets
Meeting the rapidly growing energy needs of emerging markets is the single biggest challenge of the global energy sector. Emerging markets like India and China are responding to this challenge with innovative changes in government policy and significant increase in clean energy investment however these investments are still small compared to fossil fuels and other energy sources. The transition to a clean energy mix dominated by renewables still faces many challenges including increasing demand in emerging markets, poor infrastructure, pricing and limited access. This high-level panel will share ideas and discuss ways to meet these challenges and deliver clean energy solutions for all.
