At the 11th Annual Meeting of the ICEF, three segments, “Plenary Sessions,” “Technology Sessions” and “Special Sessions,” will be held under the general theme of “How to Live within the Planetary Boundaries through Green Innovation”. A wide range of topics will be discussed, including Planetary Boundaries, Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) and Solar Radiation Management (SRM), Food and Agriculture, and Sustainable Marine Transport, with "Diversity is the origin of innovation" as a common perception, and focusing on the innovations necessary to promote and achieve carbon neutrality even as the world continues to confront various difficulties.
We have now begun accepting registration for participation. We invite leaders of industry, academia and government from around the world to join us at this important Forum.
