Groundbreaking sustainability summit returns to ICC Belfast

ICC Belfast is delighted to announce its support for the Sustain X Summit

The event, taking place on Monday 20 October at ICC Belfast, will bring leaders from organisations of all shapes, sizes and sectors together to explore how they can help reverse the climate crisis.

This year’s Sustain X Summit will feature an exceptional line-up of speakers, including Dr Tara Shine, internationally renowned environmental scientist, climate negotiator and broadcaster; and Rt. Hon John Gummer, Lord Deben, former UK Environment Secretary and Chair of the UK’s Climate Change Committee. Delegates will also benefit from a special virtual address by Mary Robinson, former President of Ireland and UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. Together with a host of thought leaders, they will inspire and challenge attendees to accelerate climate action and drive meaningful change.

The Summit is being facilitated by the non-profit Management and Leadership Network (MLN) and supported by cross-sector partners including Belfast City Council, Danske Bank, ICC Belfast, Carbonfit and the Centre for Advanced Sustainable Energy (CASE). Attendees will also hear from local pioneers of sustainability, including Vicky Davies OBE, CEO of Danske Bank and a champion of sustainable finance, and Professor David Rooney, Director of CASE and a leading authority on energy transition.

Speaking at the launch, Ross Moffett, sales director at ICC Belfast explained:

“We are proud to once again partner with Sustain Exchange for their annual Summit." 

As a world-class conference venue, we recognise the responsibility we have to operate sustainably and to support events that address the defining issues of our time. 

"Partnering with Sustain Exchange reflects our commitment to reducing our impact, sharing knowledge, and helping to drive the conversations and actions needed to tackle the climate crisis.”

MLN’s Jessica Higginson said: “The climate crisis remains the defining leadership challenge of our time, but we know that progress is possible when leaders act with purpose. The Sustain X Summit will once again bring together global experts and local pioneers to share the insights, inspiration and practical tools needed to accelerate change." 

It is a powerful example of cross-sector collaboration in action, and we are deeply grateful to our partners for the leadership and commitment they continue to show on this critical issue.
