Tuesday 23 November 2021 | 3:35 - 8:00 pm India, 10:05 am - 2:30 pm GMT | #IndiaInTheWorld
Leaders in technology and environmental policy and investment shared their insights
Amid the massive economic and social scarring from the pandemic, two outcomes have emerged that may have a positive impact -- the acceleration of digital transformation, and a renewed attention to resilience and sustainability, with a focus on addressing climate change. India has clearly seen a major expansion of disruptive technologies. Does this trend have the longevity to bring long-term economic benefits? On climate, how committed is the government to significantly boost the green economy?
In the fourth of a series of online, agenda-setting debates organised by the Financial Times and The Indian Express, public and private sector leaders from India and overseas, discussed how rapid technological change and efforts to create a greener economy have the potential to shape the Indian economy for generations to come. This event was timed to follow the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Glasgow, UK.
