27/02/2020

Planetiers World Gathering intends to be a turning point in how to approach sustainability.

Altice Arena will host from April 23rd to 25th the Planetiers World Gatheting (PWG), a sustainable innovation event. It takes place in a year when Lisbon is the European Green Capital.

Daymond Jonh, investor and star of the US Shark Tank program, Joel Sartore, international photographer and National Geographic Photo Ark project founder, Mohan Munashinge, 2007 Nobel Peace Prize winner, Gina McCarthy, former Administrator of the American Environmental Protection Agency, and Mike Berners-Lee, bestselling author ‘There is No Planet B’ are some of the confirmed names that will attend the event, but more surprises are expected.

PWG is a worldwide gathering of citizens, entities, cities and speakers who are committed to making history and changing the course of today’s narrative. Planetiers World Gathering will feature three stages, designed for different audiences, an area dedicated to entrepreneurs and startups and another designed to provide cities and municipalities with a voice, allowing them to show how they are contributing to their own sustainability. Planetiers Market is also on the event’s agenda, an area that intends to showcase sustainable products, services and solutions already in the market.

More than 10,000 participants are expected, according to the Altice Arena and Douro Generation organisation.
