Therefore, environmental concerns and their potential solutions are being addressed as part of the Expo Live Impact Series, which will take place during the Climate and Biodiversity Week – the event's first themed week.
Climate and Biodiversity Week runs from October 3-9
The Climate and Biodiversity Week, which runs from October 3-9, will bring together experts and innovators from across the globe for a series of panel discussions, tackling everything from carbon footprints and single-use plastics to clean energy adoption and recycling.
