THE
COUNTDOWN
TO 2030


— SDGS X NET-ZERO ACTION

TUESDAY, 25 JANUARY 2022
 
TIME
5PM TO 6:15PM (GMT+08)

In January 2020, Padang & Co launched “The Countdown to 2030”, pledging to make
conversations about the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) commonplace. By
then, it was already clear that as a global community, we were off-pace in
achieving the targets. And that was before COVID-19 sidetracked the
conversation; more critically, the health crisis has turned into a human and
economic crisis, further setting back our efforts to eradicate poverty and
hunger.

 

WE HAVE LESS THAN 8 YEARS TO 2030.



At the same time, to keep warming to no more than 1.5 degrees Celsius, we have
to reduce carbon emissions by 45% by 2030 — a target we are going to miss even
with all the new Glasgow pledges.

 

How might we meet all the SDGs as we strive for Net Zero? Padang & Co will be
exploring various aspects of this big question — from new foods and agricultural
practices, to smarter infrastructure and management of water, energy and waste.

 

To kick off the series, we have invited some of the region's leading voices in
sustainable growth to share their views and discuss:



 * Where are the areas of opportunity for businesses — from startups and
   scale-ups to large SMEs to multinational corporations? And risks?
    

 * What can businesses, particularly startups and scale-ups, do now? What role
   might they play in Singapore Green Plan 2030 and "30 by 30"?
    

 * Lastly, what role might Singapore play for Southeast Asia (and beyond)?
