FROM INFINITE GROWTH TO PLANETARY BOUNDARIES: AN ECONOMY IN TRANSFORMATION
9:30 -10:30 am
The traditional economic model of infinite growth is being challenged as the world faces the realities of finite resources and ecological limits. To build a sustainable future, financial systems must adapt to support alternative economic models such as circular and regenerative economies, which create value while ensuring long-term resilience. How can financial institutions realign incentives to drive investments toward economic models that operate within planetary boundaries? What innovative financial mechanisms can accelerate the transition to a circular and regenerative economy? How should policymakers and investors collaborate to reshape economic frameworks that balance prosperity with environmental stewardship?
