From unpredictable weather patterns, to increasing desertification, to soil erosion and loss, to air pollution and health epidemics, to water contamination and scarcity, to overflowing waste streams; the effects of unprecedented historic levels of greenhouse gas concentration in the atmosphere and hyper industrialisation are being felt across the globe as all life sustaining ecosystems continue to deteriorate on a daily basis threatening the livelihoods of populations everywhere.
While the debate rages on as to how much greenhouse gases is safe to emit and how to share the blame for the past and shoulder the responsibility for the future, innovators and entrepreneurs are moving forward with radical solutions to ensure that life on planet earth endures in the next decades and well into the 21st century. From atmospheric reengineering, to emissions capturing and transformation, to soil rehabilitation and vertical hydroponic farming, to waste up cycling and valuation, to water purification, harnessing and reuse, the fields of creativity and ingenuity are vast, and the investment opportunities in transformative solutions abound. INNOVENTURE EUROPE’s edition on Environmental Technologies will seek to showcase the best of them.
