Better Together’s Post

I attended the The Conference Board's ESG Summit in New York (yep, #ESG is still a thing, lol!). I went to the summit for one reason: to learn how to balance environmental sustainability, economic growth, and social equity. A McKinsey & Company report said that in 2050 fossil fuels will account for 40–60% of global energy demand. The global energy transition must be as inclusive as it is ambitious, addressing the needs of emerging economies while investing in low-carbon technologies. Here are some discussions at the conference: • Accelerating the adoption of renewable energy without leaving key industries behind. • Reimagining the role of corporations in driving climate innovation and accountability. • Ensuring a just transition so all communities benefit from the move to sustainable practices. What I took away is that true progress will only come when collaboration takes precedence over competition and when innovation is for everyone. What’s your perspective on balancing economic development and environmental goals? Let me know in the comments! 👇🏾 #BetterTogether #ESG 𝘗𝘩𝘰𝘵𝘰: 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘉𝘰𝘢𝘳𝘥 C.D. Glin
