#LSF2022: From Emotion to Motion
The eleventh edition of the Luxembourg Sustainability Forum will be held on 6 October 2022, in person at LuxExpo or in livestream on imslux.lu, from 1.30 pm, on the opening day of KlimaExpo 2022
The unavoidable nature of the ecological challenge has finally become fully apparent to us, and with particular violence. This question, which has long been ignored or understated, could only be raised by a succession of observations, evidence, and warnings.
This awareness has turned into a damning and massive questioning. It has given birth to anxiety. We have lost a certain lightheartedness, a certain innocence. Many people's minds are consumed day and night by environmental disaster.
Anxiety is becoming more and more prevalent among young and old alike, overwhelmed by the magnitude and speed of the changes in our world. The absence of prospects and future becomes the main threat: paralysis and, therefore, inaction.
How to overcome this state of shock? How to transform these energies too often locked inside? This is the challenge we need to respond to and the one for which we will look for answers.
This edition will also mark the 15th anniversary of the IMS Luxembourg network. The perfect time to make some announcements...
When? Thursday 6 October from 13:30
Where? LuxExpo The Box / 10 Circuit de La Foire Internationale / 1347 Luxembourg or livestream on imslux.lu
For who? The Luxembourg Sustainability Forum is open to all, IMS members and non-members. Do not hesitate to share widely, within and outside of your your organisation.
The event is sold out.
But you can follow the whole afternoon on imslux.lu

It encourages us to cooperate daily, rethink our actions and businesses, and commit ourselves to others. We will rise to the challenge!" Loïc Le Foll, CEO - AG2R La Mondiale

We use three tools – voting, engagement, and public policy advocacy – to encourage issuers to improve their performance and accountability on sustainability topics, and to urge policy-makers to deliver legislation, regulation and standards that promote sustainable, equitable development." Stéphane Brunet, CEO - BNP Paribas Asset Management
"There is a fundamental need that people and organisations are facing today. It is the urgency to successfully respond to the volume and variety of change.
