American actor and environmental campaigner, Edward Norton (pictured), will join Sir Richard Branson and other environmental leaders at the third annual Six Senses SLOW LIFE Symposium, to be held at Soneva Fushi in the Maldives. The conference will run over four days from 6-9 October and bring together the leading minds in the fields of business, sustainability and environmental issues with globally-influential policy-makers and heads of state.
Norton will discuss the benefits that the tourism industry can bring to local eco-systems, wildlife and communities. He will take examples from large wildlife reserves that might otherwise be developed as mines or farms and the mutual benefit of supporting communities to protect their local environment.
Sir Richard will be discussing alternative fuel sources and new technologies to power Virgin’s fleet of trains and aircraft and the need to adapt our buildings to meet the challenges of rising fossil fuel prices and to stem carbon emissions.
