Ben Gunneberg, CEO of the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC), is one of the key speakers, alongside Cailin Birch, Global Economist with the Economic Intelligence Unit (EIU), in the International Rubber Study Group (IRSG) Webinar on Risks to Economic Recovery in 2021: Implications on Future Growth and Sustainability on 3 March.
As 2020 was without a doubt one of the most traumatic years for the global economy in recent memory, the COVID-19 pandemic also exposed vulnerabilities in society and in the global economy.
While it appears increasingly likely that 2021 will be a year of recovery, it provides an opportunity for transformative growth. The pandemic might not be over, but it is clear that the year will prove challenging for much of the global economy.
Recovery provides an opportunity to repurpose for growth. The decarbonisation commitments require mobilising industry for a fair, inclusive and climate-resilient growth. To foster a sustainable raw material supply and circularity in business operation in the global supply chain.
The IRSG webinar will look into potential opportunities as well as risks to sustainable recovery in 2021. While it aims to reach out to all Natural Rubber Stakeholders, interested media are welcome to join.
