Sustainable Future Forum
In support of the APEC 2023 theme of Creating a Resilient and Sustainable Future for All, NCAPEC will hold the Sustainable Future Forum (SFF) on the margins of the 2023 APEC Leaders' Meeting to convene public and private sector stakeholders to share perspectives on the technologies, practices, and policies necessary to advance the Bangkok Goals on Bio-Circular-Green Economy. The SFF agenda will reflect the four pillars of the Bangkok Goals, namely:
- Supporting global efforts to comprehensively address all environmental challenges, including climate change, extreme weather and natural disasters, for a sustainable planet, particularly in terms of climate mitigation, adaptation and resilience
- Progressing sustainable and inclusive trade and investment
- Advancing resource efficiency and sustainable waste management
- Promoting environmental conservation, sustainable use and management of natural resources, as well as halting and reversing biodiversity loss
Against the backdrop of APEC's strengthened focus on sustainability issues, the SFF will incorporate perspectives from companies, NGOs, academic institutions, and other organizations that are leading bold, innovative, and comprehensive efforts to address the environmental challenges and disruptions facing the region.
The SFF will also include the APEC Catalyst Pitch Competition, which aims to give top women climate entrepreneurs the opportunity to showcase their innovation to high-impact investors, policy makers, and leaders in the U.S. private sector, while competing for generous startup resources.
NCAPEC Annual Luncheon
Since 2004, the NCAPEC Luncheon has served as a centerpiece of private sector activities during APEC Leaders' Week, bringing NCAPEC members together with senior officials from the U.S. government and other APEC economies as well as members of the APEC Business Advisory Council.
This year's annual luncheon will be a part of the SFF. The annual lunch program will center around key government leaders who will discuss the future of sustainability.
