Addressing climate change requires systemic change
THE long-awaited Sustainable Brands Kuala Lumpur Conference 2022 (SB’22KL) launched today with keynote speeches and lectures from industry experts worldwide.
The conference theme is “Build Back Better: Learning from Our Past in Designing a More Sustainable Future Future,” a clear nod to United States President Joe Biden’s ambitious policy framework.
In a press release, Sharmini Nagulan, the conference convenor and managing director of Acacia Blue said, “as we return to 'normalcy', it is critical to slow down and connect the dots again. We need to relearn from the stories that have shaped our current reality to write a better story for our future.
“This is why the theme for SB'22KL centres around the need to draw on all the wisdom that we can glean from our past, to remind ourselves what we have learned from both the successes and failures of history.”
A highlight of today’s conference was Sunway Centre for Planetary Health professor and director Tan Sri Dr Jemilah Mahmood’s keynote speech titled “Planetary Health: Towards A New Development Paradigm”. She put to task governments and private companies responsible for being the top polluters and emitters of greenhouse gases.
