Covid-19 has changed national priorities. Ironically, at a time when the global emissions have touched unprecedented lows, the respective governments have had to prioritise. Economy or climate change is the question many have had to deal with it. A global recession, the worst in decades, is looming large. The worst in decades. From New Delhi to Beijing, Air Quality Index (AQI) witnessed unprecedented improvement even if it were to be temporary with the economies looking to fast open up and move in the direction of the pre-Covid levels. The fight for climate change, it is feared, has taken a backseat. At this juncture, Frost & Sullivan’s webinar - ‘Revitalize Your Growth Strategy in Environment and Sustainability Markets in Asia-Pacific’ did just the right thing. Timed to perfection, it drew the fading attention ‘spans’ back to environment and sustainability markets.
Calling for the need to build a business pipeline, address security concerns related to water supply and quality, waste management, and indoor air quality, the webinar emphasised on building a circular economy in the future where raw materials, components and products retain their value to the maximum possible. According to Melvin Leong, Director- Sustainability program and Industrial Practice, Frost & Sullivan, it is quintessential to use advanced and innovative solutions backed by resilient business models. The session touched upon critical topics like environment growth opportunities, challenges, immediate intervention areas and technologies. The meeting was an attempt to direct organisations looking rebound and emerge stronger from the pandemic.
