Nordic Green 2021
Nordic Green is back again – themed “Nordic Green Talks: Reducing our Carbon Footprints”! Live stream on Oct 28th, 3pm (SGT) / 9am (CET) from Singapore! Register: https://bit.ly/nordic-green-2021. Together, we will learn how the Nordics co-operate and co-innovate to build a green and sustainable future.
With global demand for a greener future, nations worldwide like the Nordics and Singapore are strengthening efforts and visions relating to sustainable developments. The Nordic Region has developed sustainability solutions and policies for decades, and Vision 2030(Linkki toiselle web-sivustolle.) is to become the most sustainable and integrated region in the world by 2030. With extensive experience in cross-border green collaborations, generating and sharing knowledge, the Nordics are able to find new and innovative solutions by engaging people, international organisations and global partners.
Similarly, in Singapore, the Green Plan 2030(Linkki toiselle web-sivustolle.) is a whole-of-nation movement to advance Singapore’s national agenda on the city in nature, energy reset, sustainable living, green economy and resilient future. Charting ambitious and concrete targets over the next 10 years, Singapore aims to achieve long-term net-zero emissions aspiration as soon as viable.
In this year’s Nordic Green edition, we bring together Nordic Ambassadors and leading Nordic companies in the Asia Pacific to discuss and learn more about their commitment to a clear transition pathway for global carbon reduction by 2030. Some key takeaways include:
- The Nordic experiences and challenges in building a sustainable future.
- International co-operation in the environmental footprint agenda.
- Nordic innovations addressing carbon footprint that are relevant for Singapore and Southeast Asia.
This event is jointly organised by Innovation Norway, Royal Norwegian Embassy, Embassy of Sweden, Business Sweden, Embassy of Finland, Embassy of Denmark, Business Iceland, Nordic Innovation House Singapore, and Nordic Innovation, Nordic Green 2021 will be held in conjunction with the annual Singapore International Energy Week (SIEW).
