We’ve achieved a lot to date – but we all know that the hard part is still to come.

To meet our ambitions for a better world, the most fundamental economic systems of our world (heavy industry, energy, and agriculture) must change at a pace and to an extent that we’ve never achieved before. This level of transformation will require deep thinking, collaborative partnerships, and hard work to augment operations, realign supply chains, and reduce carbon footprints.

Now is the moment to identify the true obstacles to progress, devise and implement the solution pathways needed to drive substantial impact, and take hold of a better, more resilient, and more sustainable form of business.

At Climate Week NYC, Xynteo was asking the tough questions to delve deeply into the true barriers to progress, discuss the solutions we have today, and need tomorrow, to overcome the obstacles to meaningful impact.
