She also highlights the importance of involving all players - government, private sector, and the community - in developing sustainable and self-sustaining innovations. 

We explore how putting people at the center of innovation can lead to more successful and impactful outcomes.

We'll discuss why this collaboration is crucial for identifying and implementing effective solutions.

We also take a closer look at the role of corporations in sustainability when it comes to the issue of plastic waste. Judith shares her insights on the challenges of finding sustainable solutions for plastic bottles and how working with companies like Coca-Cola and Pepsi can be a crucial factor in creating change.
