The Investment Case for Mangroves Roundtable

Wed 21 Jan 2026 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm (CET/GMT+1)
Awakening House (Ochsner: Forum 3)

What if mangroves were treated not as conservation projects, but as core financial infrastructure for coastal economies?

A private (by invitation only) dialogue session hosted by Mangrove Breakthrough.

Coastal economies in Southeast Asia face escalating climate, erosion, and livelihood risks, yet mangroves—their most effective natural defense—remain largely invisible in investment and policy decisions. This closed-door roundtable and workshop focuses on why and how mangrove value must be systematically integrated into coastal finance. The session introduces the Mangrove Transition Bond, a regional financing instrument designed to mobilize capital through bond issuance and on-lending via local financial institutions to mangrove-adjacent businesses.

By embedding mangrove performance into risk assessment, this approach reframes rice, shrimp, and other coastal commodities as mangrove-positive assets—lower risk due to reduced erosion, salinity intrusion, wave exposure, and stronger social license to operate. Local and regional banks can therefore offer improved terms, enabling communities to access capital for sustainable production. Grounded in Southeast Asian practice, the discussion brings together finance leaders, governments, and philanthropies to explore how mangrove-positive products reach markets and become the new standard for resilient coastal growth.

Mind the Future: Why Youth Mental Health Is the Next Economic Imperative

Wed 21 Jan 2026 10:30 am - 12:00 pm (CET/GMT+1)
Awakening House (Ochsner: Forum 2)

What if the most decisive economic investment of the next decade isn’t infrastructure or technology—but the mental health of young people who will shape productivity, innovation, and resilience worldwide?

41% of the global population is under the age of 24. Prioritizing their wellbeing and equipping young people to thrive is the key to the prosperity of the global economy over the next decade.

Mental health is the number one barrier. As the prevalence of wellbeing challenges rises globally, youth are hindered from reaching their full potential as they navigate their education and entry into the workforce. These are our future founders, CEOs, Prime Ministers and Civic Leaders. We need to pull all the levers within our control: innovation, market demand, policy, and capital to meet the exploding demand for mental health needs globally. A healthy society is the only path to a flourishing global economy.

Join SecondMuse for a discussion on how to build a global approach to investing in and capturing the value of addressing youth mental health across populations can have on the future of workforce and our economies.

Wed 21 Jan 2026 7:00 am - 8:30 am (CET/GMT+1)
Awakening House (Ochsner: Forum 2)

In tai chi practice ‘silk reeling’ is the method used to coordinate the parts of the body to achieve whole-body movement: when one part moves, all parts move, or, when the dantian (center) moves, the whole body moves. 

Participants will learn a series of soft, steady and continous flow of movements designed to enhance the circulation of qi, followed by a gentle refreshing self-massage and light shaking techniques to remove stagnations. 

Inner Qigong: The Twelve Dao Movements of Coherence

Wed 21 Jan 2026 7:00 am - 8:00 am (CET/GMT+1)
Flourishing House (Rätia Center: Forum 1)

Rooted in ancient Dao wisdom, Inner Qigong – Twelve-Routine Exercises is a refined practice of moving meditation that harmonises breath, movement, and awareness. Drawn from Shou Shi Chuan Zhen (True Secrets of Longevity), this gentle sequence guides the flow of qi through the body, restoring balance between mind, body, and the surrounding energy field.

Through twelve slow, fluid movements, participants cultivate softness, alignment, and inner stillness — awakening vitality while calming the nervous system. Accessible to all ages and physical conditions, the practice emphasises presence rather than effort, allowing energy to circulate naturally through the meridians.

This session invites participants to experience qigong not merely as health preservation, but as an art of coherence — where movement becomes meditation, breath becomes guidance, and the body becomes a living bridge between inner balance and outer harmony.

Restore Nature Day Panel 3: Stewarding the Living Planet: How Families Rebalance Capital, Community, and Climate

Wed 21 Jan 2026 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm (CET/GMT+1)
Awakening House (Ochsner: Forum 2)

What if the future of climate action and societal resilience depends less on new institutions and more on families choosing stewardship over charity, aligning long-term capital with communities, well-being, and the living systems that sustain us all?

Across the world, economic and social systems are under strain trust is eroding, institutions are weakening, and climate and nature risks are accelerating faster than traditional funding models can respond. In this context, philanthropy and private capital face a defining choice: continue fragmented, short-cycle interventions, or step into a deeper role as long-term stewards of societal and ecological resilience.

This session explores how family philanthropy and family enterprise can move from giving to stewardship strengthening community institutions, rebuilding the social contract, and restoring balance between markets, the state, and civil society. Drawing on lived experience from India and beyond, including the 1,000 Families for the Planet movement, the dialogue examines how values-led families are aligning capital with climate and nature outcomes while reinforcing local leadership, trust, and well-being.

Bridging Eastern community-first traditions and Western institutional frameworks, the session highlights how families across generations can catalyse systems-level change by coordinating capital, governance, and partnerships in service of people, planet, and long-term resilience.
