Emirates Environmental Group and Arabia CSR Network in collaboration with Clean Energy Business Council; Sponsored by EGA;It is said that meeting the interlinked global challenges of poverty reduction, social justice and environmental sustainability is the great moral and political imperative of our age. This imperative can only be fulfilled if there is a transformative change in our thinking and performance of innovation. Apart from science and technology, it precludes new ideas, institutions, practices, behaviours and social relations that shape scientific and technological development, purposes, applications and outcomes. Social and economic innovations are essential and must themselves become the drivers of change because we can no longer deliver growth under the old model.
