YALE SUSTAINABLITY LEADERSHIP FORUM

In October 2018 Sue Simons had the opportunity to attend a Sustainability Leadership Forum at the Yale Campus in New Haven, Connecticut.

The forum was comprised of director Professor Daniel C. Esty, distinguished speakers from Yale and professionals with an interest in sustainability from across the globe.

The Forum is designed to provide more insight into the environmental challenges we face today and to advance Sustainability Thought Leadership. Some of the topics discussed included: innovations in the provisioning of energy; science and sustainability; green design; industrial ecology and the circular economy; sustainable investing; climate change in the public mind and carbon pricing.

As Sue observed: “A week at Yale with delegates from all over the world was an incredibly stimulating experience. The days were long and topics challenging but I took away new perspectives on a vast range of the current global challenges”.
