| During this week’s United Nations General Assembly, amid the news that no major economy is on track to meet the Paris Climate Accord, the World Economic Forum convened its annual Sustainable Development Impact Summit with the aim of accelerating the U.N.’s 2030 Global Goals. The scale of the challenges requires an unprecedented level of cooperation across borders and industries and increased collaboration with startup and scale-ups. The Summit sought to act as a catalyst by highlighting concrete solutions that can be scaled and some of the innovative technologies and business models developed by the more than 1,300 entrepreneurs on its Uplink open innovation platform, startups and scale-ups in its Technology Pioneers and global innovators communities, and its Scale360° hubs, which bring together leaders in science, policy and business to figure out how to build lasting ecosystems for the circular economy. Speakers at the conference stressed that governments and corporates must move faster and do more to meet the Global Goals. A flurry of announcements made during the summit illustrate that business has gotten the memo.
