At the Hyper Interdisciplinary Communications Singapore 2025, hosted by Leave a Nest, we will be holding a session entitled “Climate Realities and the Net Zero Imperative”.
Reaching net zero by 2050 is not a single-industry challenge — it’s a collective reimagining of how societies produce, consume, and govern energy and resources. The road ahead demands that technology, materials, policy, and design work together in new ways to create measurable progress.
Panel 1: Climate Realities & the Net Zero Imperative will bring together leaders from across sustainability, circular systems, and renewable infrastructure to explore how Asia can turn climate ambition into tangible action. The conversation will focus on how collaboration between researchers, corporates, and policymakers can unlock the solutions needed for large-scale decarbonization.
This session will be especially relevant for corporate sustainability leaders, policymakers, investors, materials scientists, and circular design advocates looking to understand how systemic innovation can drive the region’s climate agenda forward.
Join this dialogue to discover how Singapore and its regional partners can lead the global race toward a resilient, carbon-neutral future.
Beyond the theme of this session, we have prepared a program featuring discussions with researchers, startups, and corporations from various perspectives. For details, please refer to the conference website.
