Because this activity is now officially part of the sustainability week, we will only focus on the hike and go through a place that was heavily affected in 2019 by a fire, in order to see how important is to preserve these places. Afterwards, we will reach Silla del Rey summit, and come back by passing through la chorranca waterfall.

Make sure to bring food, water, and a jacket.

The birth of the Committee spawned from a mission of the different clubs to engage and empower the IE student body and community to become change agents for a sustainable IE campus to thrive. The students will introduce past projects within the committee, such as the SDGs Instagram filter and the future ones, The Nurture Hub. After the presentation, it will be hosted an open discussion panel about the importance of the Designing process in Sustainability led by Manuel Quirós and Edgar González.

In this event the Agribusiness Club brings Roberto Vitón, Founder and Managing Director at Valoral Advisors a company specialized in the global food and agriculture investment space.

Sustainable Food & Agriculture: Growing more form less.

By 2050, the world’s population will reach close to 10 billion people and food production will have to increase by 60% compared to 2006 levels to feed this growing population. At the same time, agriculture, forestry and other land uses are accountable for 24% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, we have the huge responsibility of redesigning the way we produce food in order to feed the growing population while taking care of our environment.

The event will cover these topics:

1. Food and Agriculture Industry. How important is this industry in today’s scenario? What is the impact it has in the environment?

2. Regulatory Tailwinds. What is the EU “ Green Deal”? How is the European Union planning to be carbon Neutral by 2050? What are the main pillars of this strategy?

3. Smart and Sustainable Production Systems. How are we planning to produce more food in a more sustainable way? How is technology helping farmers to build more efficient production systems?

4. Impact Investing in the global food and agriculture space. Why impact investments in agriculture are important? Opportunity set of impact investments in agriculture.

Our planet and its resources are finite and today's workers are looking for purpose and meaning in the workplace. At the crossroads of these paths, sustainable entrepreneurship is a source of opportunity that is still under-exploited.

Worlds clash.
Things fall apart.
Everything is always moving, changing, and transforming—disrupting the course of action of what we once thought was stable. The disruption of things can feel scary, yet it brings a opportunity to build new paradigms, shift perspectives, and create a lasting social change.

Building off of last year’s theme, Discomfort, this year’s edition of the LEAP Conference will embrace the Social SDG Goals under the theme DISRUPTIVE. Leap 2020 is all about addressing the different ways society transforms through time. It’s about disrupting old paradigms in order to create real social change.

Dare to disrupt? 💣

Learn about how the IE Community with its rich cultural diversity shares more in common than meets the eye!
We invite you to this diversity online workshop, co-hosted with IE Center for Diversity in Global Management, and embedded in the Sustainability Week.
We will talking about Third Culture Kids (TCKs), which refers to anyone who spent a significant part of their childhood/adolescent years living outside of their parents’ home country, and what it means to be a TCK as well as work or study with TCKs. We will explore some of the issues facing today’s TCKs, as this is a vast topic which is receiving increased attention in both academic research and organizational practice. The experience of living within and between different cultures leads to the emergence of the third culture: an invisible culture that is marked by belonging everywhere and nowhere. Despite the difficulties of growing up in different cultural worlds, there are many benefits to be gained! In the workshop, we will share numerous tips for personal and professional success so that each person can learn how to capitalize on the rich diversity of the IE Community.
