My participation in COP27 representing AUC was such an honor and a great opportunity for me. It has introduced me to a lot of very interesting global climate initiatives and solutions, helped me expand my network, learn about many of the leading sustainable businesses of the world and meet great critical minds. It was astounding to me learning what could be done in a matter of a few years if everyone takes a solid stand towards a more sustainable future.
