Overview

  • Organizers say the event will convene more than 250 organizations, activists, youth, companies, academics and public institutions.

  • L’Oréal announced a €100 million global accelerator for sustainable innovation to support SMEs and entrepreneurs in areas such as low‑carbon technologies, water resilience and responsible waste management.
