11.45 - 12.30 Exponential climate transition in the automotive industry – How can transparency and climate action future proof EVs supply chain?
Panel discussion moderated by Catarina Rolfsdotter-Jansson, moderator, TV- program host, and sustainable development lecturer. By going electric, the automotive industry has an opportunity to become a catalyst for change. But to achieve climate neutrality, OEMs and suppliers alike must embrace transparency on how to measure and communicate carbon footprint. Which tools and solutions do we need to build a sustainable and resilient supply chain? And how do we create a market for climate-neutral material and technologies?

18.30 - 21.00 Pioneering Fossil-free Solutions — Sweden International Business Day
Join this Glasgow broadcast with interaction from Stockholm, Nairobi, Washington D.C and online audience.
Meeting the Paris Agreement goals requires a seismic transformation in all sectors of society. In fact, established businesses have no choice if they want to stay in the game — meet players who, moving ahead of their competition, lead the way through bold climate action.
Breaking the bonds of our fossil-fueled economies requires innovation: technologies, policies, and disruptive businesses. Changing human mindsets and habits are also part of the picture. Meet experts and doers on incorporating the transformation into how we think, speak, and act.
