67CEOs Foundation to Host 8th Annual Global Entrepreneurship Week: Green Economy and Sustainability Week
The 67CEOs Foundation is proud to announce the 8th Annual Global Entrepreneurship Week, set to take place from the 18th to 24th November 2024. This year’s event, titled “Green Economy and Sustainability Week,” will align with the 2024 Global Entrepreneurship theme, “Removing Barriers and Welcoming All.”
As the world faces unprecedented environmental challenges, the call to action for South African corporations to embrace the green economy and drive sustainability has never been more urgent. Climate change is a global crisis with local consequences, and South Africa is particularly vulnerable to its impacts. Rising temperatures, water scarcity, severe weather events, and environmental degradation are just a few of the threats that have already begun affecting industries, communities, and ecosystems across the country.
South African experts emphasise that transitioning to a green economy requires a multi-sectoral approach that integrates energy, water, agriculture, infrastructure, and private sector leadership. The government’s policies around just transition and carbon reduction provide a strong foundation, but success will depend on the collective action of businesses, communities, and policymakers.
