The Clean Cities and Urban Sustainability Forum 2024 is committed to advancing the goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, specifically targeting Sustainable Development Goals 11 and 12 which focus on sustainable cities and communities. Based on WWF & UNEP report March 2024, it is estimated that 80% of marine pollution comes from land-based sources, primarily from household and factory waste through rivers. About 148.9 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent were released into the air by landfills in 2023, making them the third biggest source of methane pollution in Asia. About 22,000 tons of pollution are released each year by open burning in Mumbai, India. This waste includes plastic products such as water bottles and straws, which take thousands of years to break down. As a result, coastal flooding, human-made climate change, and the negative effects on aquatic life have become prevalent issues. Unfortunately, humans produce far too much waste and struggle to dispose of it sustainably

During lockdown businesses underwent sea change. Not only they learn to survive but learn to innovate without getting stagnant. Given a sudden change in demographics and consumer buying pattern businesses have shifted to digital spaces. C-suite leaders are heavily engaged in digital adoption and implementation. Innovation is not a choice but compulsion in order to survive and all departments are teaming up with finance managers to modernise their legacy systems and increase profits. Driving this change is an operational imperative for finance professionals: doing more with less.

5G is considered one of the largest market opportunities in the coming years, with large scale roll-out of infrastructures and rapid adoption of 5G devices and services, 5G will not only accelerate the growth and expansion of telecom; it will also redefine and accelerate industries such as automotive, entertainment, computing, and manufacturing.

With high throughput and low latency, 5G is the most promising technique to tackle the high-value areas including 3D robotic control, virtual reality monitoring and remote medical control, these are the problems that today’s technologies have not addressed yet.
However, the enormous investment required to develop 5G and the unclear map of killer applications for 5G also put the future of 5G to test. Many characteristic benefits promised by 5G will operate at high frequency (above 26 GHz), i.e. mmWave 5G. Such high frequency requires new materials and different device design.

Today, nearly everyone accepts that in order to slow the damage we are doing to our planet and environment, humans must transition away from the use of fossil fuels. This has led to many science and business innovations as we search for new sustainable or renewable alternatives to coal, oil, and gas.

Although it would be nice to think everyone wants to do their part in order to save the world, there are strong financial incentives too. The value of the renewable energy market is set to grow from $880 billion to nearly $2 trillion by 2030. And the growing awareness of the importance of environmental and social governance (ESG) issues means there are tremendous political incentives, too.

2022 is set to be a record year in terms of the scale at which the switchover from fossil fuels to renewable sources will take place. It’s also a year in which we will see new and exotic sources of energy emerge from laboratory and pilot projects and start to become a part of everyday life.

A surge in waste generation and subsequent reckless waste disposal has been described as a rapidly increasing issue that is wreaking havoc on the climate, marine ecosystem, and human health. To achieve a circular economy, all stakeholders must use sustainable waste transformation strategies focused on waste recovery, reuse to achieve circular economy and create new revenue models as we fight the global pandemic.

The renewables industry has reached a fundamentally new stage in its development. The cost of some renewable technologies – wind and solar in particular – has fallen to a level which has seen them become cost competitive with fossil fuels in some markets. A growing number of countries are adopting policies to encourage the growth of renewables, and the industry is attracting a new class of investor more commonly attracted to the stable returns of traditional infrastructure investments.

5G has the power to change the way industries serve their customers, offer new products and services, reduce costs and reinvent the business model. However, there are a variety of challenges to roll out and capture the maximum value from 5G. Coordinated efforts from all stakeholders such regulators, operators, and enterprises will be required to ensure 5G lives up to its full potential.

The Future Hospital Strategy & Development Forum 2021 will bring together hospital leaders, government decision makers, medical professionals, financiers and researchers. The forum will explore development potential and sustainability strategies for the healthcare sector in the region.

An increase in waste generation and the subsequent irresponsible dumping of waste is identified as fast growing problem causing significant damage to the environment, aquatic ecosystem and human health. As we battled the once-in-a century pandemic, it is vital for all stakeholders to use sustainable waste transformation strategies based on waste recovery & reuse to achieve a circular economy and to create new revenue models.

International shipping opens your business to new markets and exciting growth possibilities. However, you need to make sure you understand the rules and regulations of exporting and importing, and crucially, you need the proper shipping documents.

These are internal challenges many of mid-sized and large organizations are facing. And that is not the only thing. At the same time, many external developments are taking place: of course the pandemic with their impact on the economy, restrictive governmental regulations and continuously increasing competition. This means that their market position and revenues are at stake and the team morale is lowering. Mediocre companies cut budgets and initiatives, and lower prices. A few excelling companies use ‘downtime’ to shake things up and choose for a ‘change management’ program to boost the internal drive and productivity.

Healthcare systems need to do a better job in those areas of spending they can control, such as sourcing. Management often succumbs to pressure from physicians and suppliers, but if they take a detailed look at wasteful spending, they can respond to those pressures in a positive, educated way. Two areas ripe with this kind of potential are “physician preference” and “clinical preference” items. Physician and clinical preference items are those high-cost items that often have lower-cost, functional equivalents on the market, but that physicians or clinicians have come to prefer through training, familiarity or habit.
