A word from the Patron of Driving Sustainability.
Driving Sustainability has succeeded in becoming a unique international forum where experts, scientists, innovators, policymakers and business leaders come together and join forces through discussions and cooperation.
Iceland is an ideal location to host such a gathering of creative visionaries, a country which has moved within the lifetime of one generation from fossil fuel, oil and coal, to 100% clean-energy-based electricity production and space heating; a country which can realistically aim to become the first in the world to use only clean energy for all land-based activities.
Driving Sustainability enables us to examine how we can move forward together. It provides an inspiration and also demonstrates what can be done.
