The Sustainable Innovation Forum is a global platform that brings together a global community from diverse backgrounds to drive forward sustainable development. It provides a space for dialogue, collaboration, and action on pressing challenges. By bringing together people from different backgrounds and governments, the forum provides the stage for leaders to announce new initiatives and policies that have a positive impact on the environment. The SIF meets with the Conference of the Parties of the UN Climate Change Conference (COP) in an effort to further strengthen the ties between two organizations with similar goals. In doing so, the SIF contributes to the development of concrete and effective solutions to a more sustainable future. Delegates will engage in a variety of debates aimed at developing strategies for countries to adopt that avoid environmental harm, both now and in the future, while still leading to sustainable economic growth.
