Suzanne will be participating in one of the Leaders Talks Promoting Sustainable Blue Economy with a Gender Lens in Asia at the Reykjavik Global Forum. The Reykjavik Global Forum is one of the very few platforms where hundreds of Women Leaders from all sectors, including politics, business, civil society, academia, the arts, and media, can Power, Together in 2020 to build back a more resilient and equal society. To ignite conversations and be inspired, we called distinguished speakers for our session, who can highlight how women are proactively contributing to promote sustainable blue economy in Asia and how the financial market backs up by fueling capital to accelerate their efforts.

The aim of this session is to shed light on active roles that women play in sustainable blue economy and to ask the participants how we can support and accelerate their efforts through providing resources they need and creating an enabling environment for them to excel.

Please join us for our 75-mins Leaders Talks session filled with the latest development and inspiration in promoting sustainable blue economy with a gender lens!
