At the main summit of Unlocking capital for sustainability Jessica Cheam, Founder and Managing Director, Eco-Business, highlighted that no single country is on track to meet its SDG targets. She urges action to counter apathy. Asia is blessed, she said, but the blessings come with great responsibilities. Ravi Menon, Ambassador for Climate Action & Senior Adviser (National Climate Change Secretariat, Singapore), says, “The only KPI that matters is what’s happening to global temperatures and greenhouse gas emissions. And it’s in Asia that the battle for climate change will be won or lost.” Kishore Mahbubani, Distinguished Fellow at the Asia Research Institute, National University of Singapore (NUS), emphasised shared responsibility, pointing out that all of humanity is on a single boat that may yet sink or float. He believes that by setting better examples and making the necessary sacrifices, the world can win the battle against climate change. I believe that the power is in our hands! Our procurement decisions, both individually and corporately, have the potential to either elevate or mitigate the climate crisis. In our daily choices, we set trends and create demand for sustainable alternatives. By rejecting products that harm both us and the environment, we push regulators to take action, driving change from both the top down and the bottom up. It’s essential to be informed—choose to know. Read the labels, understand the supply chains behind the products we consume. Together, we must unite and advocate for a better future for our children and future generations. #Impact #Sustainability #Change #Empowerment
