On 30 April 2020 at 20:30 (CEST), GreenBiz will host a webinar on 'Coronavirus and the Clean Economy'.
This webinar will discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting economic meltdown has affected markets for renewable energy, clean transportation, sustainable food systems, and the circular economy. How and how much have their development and deployment been hampered? It is mixed, with some technologies suffering and others continuing their relentless growth.
Join four GreenBiz analysts covering dynamic markets as they assess the state of play and what to expect in the coming months. Discussion includes:
- How the record-low price of oil is impacting markets for EVs and clean-energy solutions as well as recycled plastics
- How the virtual shutdown of foodservice operations and restaurants is changing consumption patterns and disrupting food waste programs
- How the economic downturn is impacting venture investments in clean technologies
- How volatile energy markets will impact the uptake of clean energy and transform corporate procurement options
- How recycling and materials recovery systems are shifting due to health concerns
- The changing dynamics of reusables in the age of contagion
