Walk2COP27 Clubhouse: The role of business in activism
In this session we will discuss where businesses can/should play a part in being more bold in speaking out and advocating on a range of topics not traditionally “in scope” for business. These include topics such as degrowth and the need to alter business models to operate within planetary boundaries which is gaining significant traction over the last few months; stances on topics traditionally considered the domain of activists from controversial legislative changes through to calls to stop new fossil fuel production; and the greenwashing agenda including the “validity” of net zero/carbon neutral/off setting

Walk2COP27 Clubhouse: Green Buildings and the Lifehaus Project
In this session, we will discuss Green Buildings as a sustainable alternative to business-as-usual construction focusing on their advantages in the areas of environmental protection, social benefits, and climate change mitigation. We will also explore with architect Nizar Haddad the Lifehaus project which is an exemplary sustainable building that closes the energy, water, and waste loops. The project also breaks from the mainstream by using sustainable mostly local materials that are either natural, reused, or recycled, conciliating ancestral building techniques and cutting-edge eco-friendly architectural solutions. A combination of tradition, and modernism

Walk2COP27 Clubhouse: Saving tonnes of CO2e per year through personal Climate Action
I have carried out a home restoration project that has delivered over 16T CO2e emissions savings per year so far. The project has also led to some great improvements in our quality of life and the associated costs. Key components include: better insulation, solar power, heat-pumped heating / airco also electric vehicles. When I talk to friends, colleagues, contacts I’m surprised at the lack of awareness of the options and benefits. I’d like to share some of this with you as a step towards encouraging personal Climate Action on a much bigger scale.

Walk2COP27 Clubhouse: ESG Investing and Climate Transition
ESG investing has become a leading form of sustainable finance, and has shifted from early stages of development toward mainstream finance in a number of jurisdictions.

Walk2COP27 Clubhouse: Why We Need Female Responsive Climate Action
There has been little focus on the intersection of gender equality & climate action. We need to understand its importance & how climate change drastically affects the lives of females in all aspects, whether it is socially or economically. Climate disasters (e.g. the recent horrific events in Pakistan) prevent girls & women to access their basic rights in accordance with the UN SDGs including education, economic growth, nutrition, etc.
