Sustainable Future 9: Understanding Ecological and Carbon Footprints

For World Environment Day 2025, GLC held an international conference on “Leadership for Sustainable Development: Understanding Ecological and Carbon Footprints” at Saigon Innovation Hub.

The central question was concrete: sustainable or unsustainable — measured by what? The session worked through the two most widely used indicators, the carbon footprint and the ecological footprint, and through what each one can and cannot tell you.
