Topics included novel carbon capture strategies, the impact of extreme heat on human behaviour, encouraging green investments, and advancing materials for energy applications. The roundtable emphasized the need for rapid innovation, cooperative efforts, and effective policies to mitigate climate change and support sustainability goals.
For instance, researchers are developing carbon capture methods inspired by plant enzymes to efficiently reduce atmospheric CO2. Another collaboration focuses on understanding and mitigating the impact of extreme heat on human behaviour, emphasizing the need for adaptive strategies in urban planning. Additionally, partnerships are forming to promote green investments, driving financial support for sustainable projects. These initiatives demonstrate the importance of interdisciplinary and cross-sector collaborations in creating impactful climate solutions.
‘’US-based companies have seen “tangible, meaningful” gains from green relative to brown investments, but there has been no similar returns spread anywhere else in the world, including in Europe, where sustainability investing so dominates. This is a paradox we need to unravel,” says, Andrew Karolyi, the Charles Field Knight Dean of the Cornell S.C. Johnson College of Business.
