18:10 GST / 15:10 CET — Pioneer the Possible

18:10 GST / 15:10 CET — Impact Tech for Scale and Action

Sweden has over recent years become the epicenter of impact tech, i.e. companies who based on forefront technology and science build solutions that benefit people and the planet by directly addressing global development goals. During this session, several impact tech companies together with leading representatives from Sweden’s impact tech ecosystem and beyond come together to discuss the role of impact tech to accelerate the global momentum toward a sustainable future.

19:20 GST / 16:20 CET — Swedish Leadership in Making Circularity the Tool to Bridge Mitigation and Adaptation

Transitioning to a circular economy reduces carbon emissions and is a powerful tool in climate mitigation efforts. Simultaneously a circular economy leads to a decreased demand for virgin raw materials and decreases the pressure on ecosystems, which in turn has a positive effect on climate adaptation efforts. This session explores how circularity offers synergies between mitigation and adaptation and demonstrates how Swedish innovations and circular business models contribute towards this goal.

20:00 GST / 17:00 CET — Sustainable Trade and the EU Green Deal: Engaging with our Global Trading Partners

This session will discuss the EU Green Deal and the impact on EU trade relations with the rest of the world. Special focus will be on how exporters in low- and middle-income countries may be affected by the climate-related EU’s Green Deal legislation.

20:40 GST / 17:40 CET — Accelerating Global Energy Transition through Sharing Lessons Learned

The challenge of delivering on net-zero commitments globally will require the next generation of ambitious multi-stakeholder collaborations.  Collaboration and coordination across stakeholders, sectors and geographies will be pivotal to capture the full societal, environmental, economic, and technical value of the clean energy infrastructure being deployed.  Panelists will explore how to leverage collaboration to accelerate energy transition.

21:20 GST / 18:20 CET — The Sustainable Consumption Index: How Can We Reduce our Consumer Footprint through Data-Driven Insights?

To achieve 2030 reduction targets, we must significantly cut our everyday overconsumption, adapting behaviors and lifestyles to mitigate the impacts of climate change. The Sustainable Consumption Index (SCI) by Doconomy and Mastercard facilitates collective reduction efforts by providing indicative figures and interactive simulations for a low-carbon shift in Sweden's consumer footprint. Join the launch to explore data-driven insights and discuss strategies for unlocking our reduction potential and fostering sustainable practices.

22:00 GST / 19:00 CET — Cities Leading the Green Transition

Cities contribute 70 percent of global greenhouse-gas emissions. As a consequence, cities play a key role in driving the green transition. What distinguishes cities that are leading the green transition? How do city forerunners implement actions with the scale, scope and speed needed to reach the goals set by the Paris Agreement? And how have they enabled stakeholder and citizen inclusion as part of the process? During this session, we welcome representatives from cities leading the green transition along with green city networks to discuss these questions and what can be learned from successful examples.

22:40 GST / 19:40 CET — Operationalization of Article 6 and Voluntary Claims

Climate change stands as one of the foremost challenges of our era, and the urgency to act is paramount. In our pursuit of the 1.5°C target, we must harness every available avenue and rally private investment and financing. In the operationalization of the Article 6 in relation to corporates’ voluntary claims, the chosen design and specified rules could have a significant implication on how much private capital that will be available.

23:20 GST / 20:20 CET — Ahead of the Curve with Value Chain Engagement

Calculating scope 3 emissions with consistency and scientific rigor is crucial to reach net zero. But businesses are being held back. Listen how leaders in the field are tackling the value chain to drive effective reductions, secure benefits for their business and win the net zero race.
