To meet the challenges we need clear answers to some big questions. This session explores the mechanics of creating the changes defined during the conference.
The challenge of creating a sustainable future is so large and the nature of the problems so fundamental, it is critical that we break out of our current thinking to design new solutions.
This Question & Answer session is designed to take the brilliant and innovative viewpoints of the world renowned speakers and rub them together in an attempt to fire some sparks that will lead to new thinking outside the box.
The sessions will adopt an interactive format, where attendees can post questions before hand, the moderator will launch the discussion and guide it through some of the more challenging terrain posed by the audience.
