About this event

The central challenge of our time is not whether to pursue growth, but how to generate growth that is environmentally sustainable, politically durable, and economically inclusive. As countries confront climate transition, energy system reform, rising debt burdens, and geopolitical fragmentation, the key policy question is no longer mitigation versus development. It is whether we can redesign growth models so that decarbonisation, productivity, resilience, and poverty reduction reinforce one another.
