Inclusivity Lounge: a hub for sustainable and inclusive economy
On Sunday, September 11, within the framework of the 86th Thessaloniki International fair and the HELEXPO Forum, Women on Top is organizing the 4th Inclusivity Lounge.
The Inclusivity Lounge will be, once again, a place to meet, think, exchange ideas and network, around the broader theme of gender equality and how it relates to building a sustainable and inclusive economy. Selected speakers from the fields of politics, economics, research and business, from all over the world, will analyze topics such as the impact of the climate crisis on social and gender inequalities, the role of women in building a sustainability strategy, the importance of climate and feminist diplomacy and the effects but also the opportunities presented by the energy transition for women.
The aim of the initiative is to put the issues of equity, sustainability and inclusive development into the public arena, at a critical time for the environment, energy transition and equitable economic recovery.
