🌎 We are looking forward to the keynote by Hans Bruyninckx, a globally respected authority on environmental governance, at the Catalisti & Moonshot Day 2024 tomorrow! 🧭 As a Professor of Environmental Governance at the University of Antwerp and former Executive Director of the European Environment Agency, Hans has dedicated his career to advancing sustainable policies on a global scale. With expertise in climate change, resource efficiency, and sustainability transitions, he has a remarkable reputation for blending academic insight with actionable solutions. ⚡ Hans’s keynote, “Competitive Sustainability in the Midst of Climate Change,” will address the critical need for bold, evidence-based decisions to navigate the triple planetary crises—climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution. Drawing on insights from his work with the International Resource Panel (IRP), he’ll explore how we can bend the trends of unsustainable resource use to create a thriving and equitable future. A great opportunity to hear from one of the leading voices in #sustainability. Tomorrow, at The Meeting Lab in Zwijnaarde. #competitivesustainability
