Last night’s Nobel Sustainability Trust (NST) Miami Summit 2025 brought together an exceptional coalition of global leaders in sustainability, policy, and clean technology,
underscoring Miami’s emergence as a hub for transformative environmental action. The event, which focused on the urgent themes of Leadership in Implementation, Biodiversity, and Smart & Sustainable City Solutions, served as a critical platform for forging the cross-sector partnerships required to address the climate crisis.
A highlight of the evening was the convergence of leaders actively tackling municipal waste, ocean health, and sustainable infrastructure. Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava met with key innovators and strategists, embodying the summit’s commitment to translating global dialogue into local impact.
The Power of Partnership: From Policy to Clean Tech
Mayor Levine Cava’s engagement with these industry figures is particularly significant, aligning the county’s future-ready goals with private-sector innovation. The group photographed together represented a perfect microcosm of the summit’s themes:
-
Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava: Representing government leadership and the focus on “Smart & Sustainable City Solutions.”
-
Elie Mimoun, CEO of Clean Stream Fuels: His company is a leader in waste-to-energy solutions using Hydrothermal Liquefaction (HTL). This technology directly addresses the municipal waste challenge by converting organic liabilities into valuable biocrude, providing a measurable path for sustainable city infrastructure and decarbonization.
-
Dr. Emily Weeks, CEO of WICE: A respected scientist and strategist, Dr. Weeks focuses on advancing sustainability through forging large-scale public-private partnerships (PPPs) and mobilizing sustainable investment—a core pillar of the “Leadership in Implementation” theme. Her extensive background in conservation science and environmental policy provides the strategic framework for high-impact projects.
Focus on Biodiversity and Ocean Stewardship
Also pictured was Daniela Picco, Executive Director of the MSC Foundation (MSC Cruise Line’s philanthropic arm). Her presence emphasized the critical summit theme of Biodiversity. The MSC Foundation is widely recognized for its commitment to marine conservation and ocean stewardship, notably through its Super Coral Program, which invests in scientific research and coral reef restoration. Her expertise highlights the essential role of the maritime and tourism sectors in protecting the blue economy and driving measurable change.
The collective presence of these leaders—bringing together policy, technology, blended finance, and ocean conservation expertise—affirms the Nobel Sustainability Trust’s mission: moving beyond simply setting goals and creating tangible, collaborative strategies that will accelerate global sustainability efforts through 2026 and beyond.
