"Solutions to complex issues related to climate change require the involvement of all parties. We are honored that all these groups were represented at the second edition of the Climate Change Summit - central and local authorities, civic and business communities, experts, and entrepreneurs. Our future depends on collaboration and determination, and we are pleased that we can facilitate this dialogue.”
“The idea with which we started this initiative was to bring the main actors of the transition to sustainability to the same table, whether we're talking about authorities, activists, start-ups, think tanks, or companies, to exchange ideas and learn from each other. Everything we do, everything that happens around us, from economy to education, leaves a footprint on the environment, but at the same time, it can become a source of sustainable solutions.”
