Raising Ocean Pollution Awareness: a Dialogue Between GESS Students & European Businesses
2024-11-26 13:00 - 15:00 (Asia/Shanghai) | Singapore
Ocean pollution is a critical global crisis, with approximately 8 million metric tons of plastic entering our oceans annually—an amount projected to triple by 2040 if no action is taken. Beyond plastic, other pollutants, including oil, toxic chemicals, and heavy metals, contaminate marine habitats, threatening 700 marine species and impacting the estimated 3 billion people who depend on marine ecosystems for their livelihoods. With over 90% of coral reefs at risk by 2050 and an estimated $13 billion in annual economic damage, the severity of ocean pollution cannot be overstated. This event will shine a light on how strategic partnerships and innovative programs can play a pivotal role in mitigating marine pollution and preserving biodiversity.
EuroCham Singapore, in collaboration with the German European School Singapore (GESS), is thrilled to host this event, which brings together students and corporate leaders as part of GESS’s award-winning BeyondClassrooms Programme*. By providing insights into corporate-led sustainability initiatives, this event will inspire both companies and future leaders to work together in discussing impactful solutions that protect our oceans and foster a sustainable future.
*At GESS, they understand that learning beyond the classroom is just as vital as the lessons within. That’s why they have created the award-winning BeyondClassrooms Programme, offering students unique opportunities to explore, discover, and grow. By partnering with corporate leaders, charities and organisations, the Programme connects GESS students with diverse interests to real-world experiences that help them thrive. Recognised with two international school advancement awards in the past two years, the BeyondClassrooms Programme is shaping the future—one opportunity at a time.
