In a world where the roar of the crowd and the thrill of the game take centre stage, the English Premier League is scoring goals for the planet by deepening its commitment to sustainability. With a game plan that goes beyond the pitch, the League is set to revolutionise its environmental impact by implementing four key approaches. The League is …
Nature and the need to revalue natural assets arose as key themes during COP28 with a repeated, critical call for a reassessment of the value of natural capital; and an emphasis on strategic planning for nature as the competition for land use across the verticals of the bioeconomy steps up. This shift in discussion, which adds to and currently sits …
In 2019 we worked with IKEA Retail (Ingka Group) to deliver ONE HOME, ONE PLANET (OHOP) at one of their leading sustainable stores in Kaarst, Germany. The event is part of the company’s ambitious strategy to become people and planet positive by 2030. OHOP is an action-focused event that aims to shape and influence the sustainable future of retail, by exploring how retail can inspire …
India’s renewable energy shift promises decentralisation that challenges the historical inequal concentration of power perpetuated by the fossil fuel economy. While coal and oil have strengthened traditionally commercial strongholds – solar, hydro and biogas offer localised ownership models that provide communities access and self-sufficiency. The energy transition presents a rare window for rectifying energy poverty through distributed and people-centric pathways congruent with India’s cooperative ideals. But how do we ensure a successful, just, outcome?
Meeting India’s net zero timeline demands promising climate solutions still confined to labs or universities quickly find the investment and guidance required to pilot, scale, and reach mass adoption. Historically, even proven technologies such as solar PV and lithium batteries have taken decades to mature. While investor appetite for sustainable solutions is rising, the lack of performance data keeps many innovations dependent on philanthropic grants. How do we accelerate technological innovation?
As India seeks to harness renewables to power its net-zero ascent, enabling industries to retrofit infrastructure and adopt clean technologies remains capital-intensive. Prevailing climate financing architecture spotlights inherently “green” domains such as solar and electric mobility, while underserving the decarbonisation needs of carbon-heavy sectors. This skewed allocation threatens to constrain the transition pathways of sectors vital to India’s economy, such …
Xynteo’s new report “Accelerating India’s Sustainable Human-Centric Growth,” unveils four powerful archetypes, aligned with India’s G20 vision. These archetypes offer more than theoretical constructs; they provide strategic blueprints for collaborative action between governments, businesses, and communities to materialise a shared vision of low-carbon, inclusive, and participatory growth in line with United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals.
In less than a week, world leaders, community organisations and NGOs will come together in Dubai to plan for accelerated climate action – and the role of business must be part of the discussion. The Conference of Parties is a unique and intensive process that requires genuine effort and engagement from those attending. It is paramount that business leaders show up at COP28 with a mindset and a preparedness that fosters radical collaboration for positive action – here’s how.
The built environment is the agglomeration of man-made spaces – their structures, parts, and components. These structures provide us our work, recreation, and living spaces, and we can expect global building stock to double by 2050. On the other hand, the built environment is responsible for 40% of global emissions. As we seek to create safe and hospitable places for our growing global population, we must equally reduce their negative impact on the environment.
The global energy mix is expected to go through critical changes over the coming decades. On the one hand, energy consumption is expected to increase by 14% through to 2050 requiring new energy infrastructure, whilst on the other, more established energy systems will see dramatic changes to make them more secure and lower carbon emissions. In this article we discuss three plays that can highlight the opportunities and challenges to scaling P2X deployment.
Green hydrogen adoption in India has the potential for technological innovation, transforming and decarbonising the hard-to-abate industries, creating employment opportunities and further economic development. In order to allow flexibility to the industries embarking on the decarbonisation journey, unique and customised requirements should be met – which requires a robust policy framework taking a systems approach that can benefit the stakeholder across …
Across the last nine months the Leadership Vanguard cohort of change makers have travelled the world to investigate the big challenges we face as a global society and the threat to the planetary ecosystem in which we live. In this final Field Report, we travel to Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) where the catalysts explore ‘how we can go from these small seeds to initiatives that do truly scale up, wide and deep?’
