🌍 Uniting for a Sustainable Future at Davos 2025 🌱 This week, global leaders, innovators, and visionaries converge in Davos to tackle some of the most pressing challenges of our time: climate change, energy transitions, environmental protection, and urban resilience. In this context, the Braillard Foundation is proud to announce the participation of its director, Panos Mantziaras, at the exclusive Futures Hub 4 Sustainability Luncheon. Held on January 22, this event will bring together policy-makers, entrepreneurs, and thinkers to explore strategies that integrate foresight and technology to enhance global sustainability efforts. Today, as wildfires devastate California, Cyclone Chido leaves a trail of destruction in Mayotte, and extreme weather events test the resilience of cities like Valencia, it is clearer than ever that the effects of climate change know no borders. These events serve as stark reminders of the urgency to act boldly and collaboratively for the future of our planet. At the luncheon, Panos Mantziaras will contribute insights from his pioneering work, including The Eco-Century Project®, which reimagines urban development and sustainability. His leadership in fostering multi-stakeholder foresight consultations—from Greater Geneva to Greater Luxembourg—underscores the critical need for collaboration in crafting actionable solutions. Joining him will be a panel of distinguished experts, each contributing unique perspectives:   - Aldo Flores-Quiroga, Senior Advisor, FTI Consulting, and former Deputy Secretary of Energy for Hydrocarbons in Mexico, delivering a keynote address on energy transitions.   - Sassan Saatchi, Co-founder and CEO of CTrees and Senior Scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, focusing on leveraging AI to monitor and mitigate deforestation and carbon emissions.   - Judit Kozenkow Ph.D., from Horizon Group Geneva and Webster University, addressing foresight and sustainable economic strategies.   - Alexandre B. Hedjazi, Co-founder of Futures Hub 4 Sustainability and expert in urban development, who will highlight interdisciplinary collaboration for actionable sustainability solutions.  📅 January 22, 2025 | 12:00–14:00 CET 📍 Morosani Posthotel, Davos Platz #Davos2025 #Sustainability #ClimateAction #FutureReadiness #BraillardFoundation #PanosMantziaras
