Entrepreneurship plays a crucial role in driving economic empowerment and resilience across all levels, from local communities to entire nations and the global stage. This impact is amplified when businesses embrace ethical, sustainable, and climate-friendly practices. By actively prioritizing inclusion and participation, these small businesses contribute to climate action and the development of robust multi-actor partnerships. By providing capacity-building opportunities, technical expertise, and assistance tailored for vulnerable communities, women, and youth, EthicalX empowers them to establish and scale up ethical, sustainable, and climate-friendly enterprises.

The event marks the opening of EthicalX: Climate & Innovation Hub in Horowpathana and includes a recap of past engagements. It offers capacity-building sessions on sustainable fashion, storytelling, social media for businesses, and a data collection for climate risk assessment.
