The 2023 Green Growth Summit will celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the Green Growth Partnership (GGP). Convened by the University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL), the GGP fosters collaboration between progressive European governments and businesses to advance a climate-neutral and prosperous Europe. This hybrid event will gather high-level representatives from the Green Growth Group, EU institutions, and businesses.

The Summit's agenda will explore a decade of climate policy, strategies for 2040, and the Green Deal's role in EU competitiveness, alongside international implications for the COP. Attendees can engage with prominent speakers, including ministers, MEPs, and industry leaders, to review past achievements and chart future directions for a sustainable Europe.

Indigenous women are leading global efforts to uphold Indigenous rights, sovereignty, and Free Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) in interactions with financial institutions and corporations. These institutions often perpetuate human and Indigenous rights violations, particularly in extractive industries. A recent event highlighted the need for these entities to implement FPIC, Indigenous rights, and due diligence, while investing in climate justice solutions centered on Traditional Ecological Knowledge.

Given the climate crisis, respecting Indigenous knowledge, ways of life, and FPIC—including the right to say “no� to extraction—is paramount, as 80% of Earth's biodiversity remains on Indigenous lands. This discussion took place at a formal side-event of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues 2022, featuring Indigenous women leaders and global advocates like Sônia Guajajara and Casey Camp-Horinek.
