A world in balance
Nobel Sustainability Trust
The founders of the Nobel Sustainability Trust (NST) created by members of the Nobel family, have been observing the devastation of the world’s vital, natural and non-renewable resources with great concern. This over-consumption has led to an increase in global temperatures and pollution of land, food, water, and air. The founders believe that the economic and social health of civilization will, to a large extent, depend on the availability of renewable energy and a sustainable approach provided in agriculture, forestry, industrial manufacturing, and water reclamation. This will require substantial intellectual and financial efforts. It is the aim of the NST to assist with this process.
The mission of the NST is to promote a sustainable economic growth that preserves and ultimately enhances the living systems on the planet, create opportunities for people, and harness human ingenuity in support for a prosperous common future. By participating in and supporting NST programs and activities, we encourage people to take a stand for our future as a species on a life-sustaining planet.
It is our mission that nothing is more important than this and, as a result, we want to sustain human life on this planet through efforts in the following areas:
-
Reduction of climate change with emphasis on global warming through the promotion of advancement in sustainable production and consumption with emphasis on non-polluting and renewable technologies.
-
Acceleration in the transition to sustainable societies through the promotion of initiatives that increase prosperity, improve governance, and enhance transparency.
-
The creation of a pollution-free and life-sustaining environment for all, within the limits of the planet’s carrying capacity.
In pursuit of these goals, the NST is instituting a Sustainability Conference which includes the bestowal of two Sustainability Awards in technology and implementation as well as two scholarships in the same field.

Events
We organize international events with a focus on alternative, renewable, and sustainable energy, as well as ways to combat pollution and global warming. The events target major suppliers and consumers of such energy alongside scientists, corporate leaders, politicians and decision-makers.
One of our major events is the annual NST Summit. The objective is to look into the future and to present hands-on-solutions for global sustainability. Renowned speakers bring their expertise in workshops, roundtables, and keynote lectures.
