Conferences

INSTITUTIONS, INNOVATION AND THE GREEN ECONOMY CHALLENGE
14:30 - 16:10
Emílio Rui Vilar Auditorium
Sofia Santos (Systemic), António Sarmento (WavEC)
Moderator: Ana Pimentel (Journalist)

National and international institutions play a central role in combating climate change through policies and strategies. The challenges they face, however, hinder their role as catalysts for sustainability practices and for combating and adapting to climate change. Can a truly sustainable future be designed? What is the real role of institutions in the innovative impulse and their capacity to be engines of reform?


CLIMATE CHANGE - THE ENERGY AND ECONOMIC CHALLENGES
16:30 - 18:00
Emílio Rui Vilar Auditorium
Daniel O'Neil (Leeds University), Tiago Domingos (Instituto Superior Técnico)
Moderator: Carla Canivete (Bloomberg News)

Energy transition is one of the challenges of the global green ambition. Effective clean and renewable energy policies are urgently needed. But what economic challenges are involved in this new economic model? How to promote a sustainable future and address the challenges of profitability and opportunities for changing and exploring business models? It is this Energy – Economy – Climate trident that we aim to know better.


FINAL KEYNOTE: THE FUTURE OF LEADERSHIP AND THE GREEN CHALLENGE
18:30 - 20:00
Emílio Rui Vilar Auditorium
Valerie Keller (co‐founder IMAGE)

Leadership has to do with the choices you make, the example you set and the ability to mobilise. Choices, sometimes difficult, that must consider the new contexts in which they are made, sometimes leading to structurally different directions. It is today’s leaders that have the responsibility to deliver value, in terms of sustainability and social impact. Future‐oriented leaders who question their mission, their belief systems and their legacy for generations to come. Leadership with a long‐term perspective, active in the construction of new, more sustainable models of capitalism. Leadership capable of making and implementing strategic decisions that encompass economic, cultural, social and environmental dimensions. Capable of stirring up the political and economic agenda, activating the energy of different actors for change. Leadership capable of discerning, presently, what must be urgently done for our collective future.
