Case Study: Sustainability in the Next Era

CONCEPT

We developed a remote web show with  Amman-based sustainability expert - Ruba Al-Zu'bi - to provide a space for meaningful long-form discussions on topics such as urban development, green financing, the role of startups and the efforts of the private sector in the MENA. The region plays a critical role in global energy markets and must pivot hard to become energy efficient and wean itself off its oil economy. In this context, we engaged with six different stakeholders from across the MENA to showcase multifaceted nuanced opinions on the the roadmap for the next era. Our guests for the inaugural season were -

  1. Dr. Iyad Abumoghli, Director of the UN Environment Programme's Faith for Earth initiative
  2. Leena Al Olaimy, the Co-founder and Executive Chairperson of 3BL Associates
  3. Karim Elgendy, Founder of Carboun
  4. Dr. Heike Harmgart,  Managing Director (Southern and Eastern Mediterranean) of EBRD
  5. Aline Bussmann, Regional director for cewas Middle East
  6. Ibrahim Al Zubi, Chief Sustainability Officer of Majid Al Futtaim Group
