About This Collection

Generally innovation in the context of sustainability focuses on the conversations around the role of innovation by business leaders who advocate the development of sound business models to encourage investment in new products and services. Many products, but not all, are focused on renewable energy, another EarthSayers.tv Special Collection.

This collection addresses other emerging markets in diverse industries ranging from agriculture to information technology to biotechnology as well as beauty and wellness. Sustainability calls on us to consider innovation more broadly to include not just the technical, but the social and environmental as well.  Innovation may be found in conversations around ethical sourcing, social innovation, and in the role of the social entrepreneur.

Imagine 2050

By 2050, 70% of the global population is projected to live in cities. To address the immense challenges this presents for water, waste, and energy, Veolia Environnement has partnered with LSE Cities. Their collaboration aims to visualize these issues and develop future-proofed solutions.

The vision for the 2050 city is one built on sustainability and the circular economy. Future homes are imagined with innovations like nanobots for waste sorting, self-cleaning bathrooms, and ultrasonic baths.
