“It is also an opportunity to discuss the global trends in sustainability and investments practices in the midst of economic and geopolitical challenges.”

The Minister will be speaking in a panel titled “Formulating the Future: How Women Are Shaping Sustainability Across Sectors.” She will also participate alongside the Minister of Industry and Commerce in a dinner dialogue about climate change in the Middle East.
