Nature vs Tech: At Odds or in Sync? (Debate)
17 Sep 2025, 12:30:00 - 13:30:00 (GMT+8:00)
Impact Lab 3 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)
Can technological innovation and nature-based climate solutions truly work hand in hand, or are they fundamentally at odds?
Only through the power of digital innovation and AI can we map, manage, and restore ecosystems at the scale demanded by the climate crisis—nature alone cannot keep up.

Powering People: Financing a Just Energy Transition for Communities
17 Sep 2025, 10:15:00 - 11:30:00 (GMT+8:00)
Impact Lab 3 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)
If your energy transition leaves people behind, it’s not a transition—it’s an extraction. Are we bold enough to power dignity and decarbonisation together?
The energy transition isn’t only a carbon story—it’s a human one. In Asia and across emerging economies, millions still live without reliable, affordable, or clean energy. Meanwhile, communities whose livelihoods depend on fossil fuel industries face disruption, displacement, and uncertainty.

Nature-Positive Futures, Regenerative Business as the New Competitive Edge
17 Sep 2025, 09:00:00 - 10:15:00 (GMT+8:00)
Impact Lab 3 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)
What if the real competitive edge is not scale, but the ability to heal? In a world that’s out of balance, can your business become a sanctuary for regeneration?
Nature-positive strategies are not optional—they are the path to resilience, trust, and long-term viability. This session invites business leaders, investors, and changemakers to reimagine their roles—not as extractors of resources, but as stewards of life systems.

Roots of Resilience: Financing Mangroves for Climate and Community Impact
17 Sep 2025, 15:45:00 - 17:00:00 (GMT+8:00)
Impact Lab 1 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)
If mangroves protect us from the storm, why aren’t we protecting them with our capital? Can we finally finance nature as infrastructure—not charity?
Mangrove forests are a vital yet overlooked asset in Asia’s fight against climate change and coastal vulnerability. From absorbing carbon to shielding coastlines and sustaining millions of livelihoods, mangroves offer triple wins for climate, biodiversity, and communities. But to scale mangrove restoration, we need more than conservation—we need capital, community partnerships, and a new financing model.

Scaling Climate Action and Nature-Based Solutions: From Intent to Impact
17 Sep 2025, 14:45:00 - 15:45:00 (GMT+8:00)
Impact Lab 1 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)
If you think small businesses can’t drive big change, think again—nature-positive futures will be built by those closest to the land, the food, and the water we depend on.
Scaling climate action is not just about ambition—it’s about turning intention into real, measurable impact. In this session, we’ll highlight how small and medium enterprises (SMEs) can play a catalytic role in weaving climate ambition and nature-based solutions directly into the fabric of Singapore’s economy. We’ll move beyond generic strategies and explore practical, grounded approaches to integrate food, forestry, water, and waste solutions into the core of business models.

From Pilots to Systemic Shifts, Building Bold Pathways
17 Sep 2025, 13:45:00 - 14:45:00 (GMT+8:00)
Impact Lab 1 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)
If your climate plan fits in a spreadsheet, it’s too small. It’s time to think in living systems, not silos—because what benefits nature also strengthens your community and your core business.
It’s time to stop tinkering at the edges. This session challenges leaders to go beyond pilot projects and start reimagining entire systems—how we produce, trade, consume, and regenerate. From finance to food, from supply chains to policy, we will surface real-world pathways for scaling climate action and nature-based solutions that honour both planetary health and human dignity.

From Bottom Line to Lifeline: Reimagining Business, Capital, and Philanthropy for a Well-being Economy
18 Sep 2025, 14:15:00 - 15:15:00 (GMT+8:00)
Impact Forum (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)
The future will not be inherited—it must be co-created. What will you commit to now, knowing that the wellbeing of all life depends on the courage of our next move?
This closing plenary of IMPACT WEEK is not a summary of what was—it is a declaration of what will be. Over the past three days, we have journeyed through the six pillars of transformation—from education to capital, from climate and nature to food, energy, and the human construct.
Food Systems Nature Restoration
Rethinking Food Systems: Mobilising All Voices for People, Resilience & Climate
18 Sep 2025, 09:00:00 - 10:00:00 (GMT+8:00)
Impact Forum (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)
Food systems are a mirror of society, reflecting how we nourish, govern, employ, and sustain ourselves. Yet today, these systems are under extraordinary stress. From rising malnutrition to climate-induced crop failures, from chemically intensive agriculture to fragile global supply chains, the way we produce and consume food is becoming increasingly unsustainable, inequitable, and unsafe.
At IMPACT Week, we ask: How can food systems be reimagined to truly support human well-being, ecological regeneration, and societal resilience?

Extraction to Regeneration: Reimagining the Green and Blue Economies
17 Sep 2025, 16:30:00 - 17:30:00 (GMT+8:00)
Impact Forum (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)
If today’s extractive industries became tomorrow’s regenerative engines, what would business look like—and are we bold enough to fund that transition?
Green and blue economies are no longer abstract ideals—they are the necessary frameworks for planetary survival and economic renewal. Yet for many business leaders, policymakers, and capital allocators, the question remains: What do these models actually require?

From Carbon to Coherence: ASEAN’s Leap into Regenerative Climate Economies
17 Sep 2025, 15:15:00 - 16:30:00 (GMT+8:00)
Impact Forum (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)
If carbon is the currency of our time, will we spend it on survival—or invest it in a regenerative future?
Carbon is evolving from a pollution metric to a driver of economic design and investment. In ASEAN, where climate risk threatens up to 11% of regional GDP by 2100, there’s a growing need to shift from offsetting to transforming systems. This high-level plenary convenes changemakers from across the carbon economy: policy architects, technologists, regenerative finance pioneers, and bio-economy innovators.
