Chosen for “its historic commitment”
The founder of this show, Nicolas Pereira, explains to our colleagues that he chose to invite Hillary Clinton “because of her historic commitment to the environment, and in particular during this 2016 presidential campaign which changed the United States. and the world in a new era where climate issues and realities are called into question.”
The Democrat was defeated by Donald Trump in November 2016, defying many predictions.
In 2015, she opposed Barack Obama, then president of the United States, on drilling in the Arctic.
For Nicolas Pereira, the World Summit Impact must bring together companies, researchers and politicians to “exchange ideas and unite ecosystems” on subjects such as the circular economy or the decarbonization of transport.
Other personalities are invited, including the famous anthropologist Jane Goodall, the activist Camille Étienne and the boss of Medef, Patrick Martin.
