To meet targets set by the Paris Agreement, we will need to see innovations that work for people and planet on an unprecedented scale over the next decade. - Ecopreneurs put nature and climate at the core of their business models, ensuring that income for local livelihoods is generated and putting societies on a more resilient, inclusive, and sustainable path.
- We need to build and continue to support an innovation ecosystem in which these ecopreneurs can emerge, thrive and multiply exponentially around the globe.
"We need an ecopreneur revolution, and we need it now." This was the passionate call-to-action delivered by Simon Mulcahy, Salesforce's Chief Innovation Officer, during the recent Sustainable Development Impact Summit.
