Global Change Forum 48: Connecting Climate and Sustainability: Synergies and Tradeoffs

-

Please note that Forum attendance is by invitation and online registration only.

The theme of this Forum is Connecting Climate and Sustainability: Synergies and Tradeoffs. 

Session topics include:

  • New approaches to understanding and attributing climate changes and extreme events
  • Achieving multiple socio-economic targets
  • Global challenges of plastic pollution
  • Focus on planetary health
  • Community engagement on sustainability issues
  • Incentives and strategies for decision-making

Drawing approximately 100 invited representatives of industry, government, NGOs, national and international policymaking bodies, and research groups, the MIT Global Change Forum provides a non-official, neutral setting for analysis and discussion of science and policy aspects of global environmental change, and for independent assessment of studies and policy proposals. Adhering to the “Chatham House Rule,” the meeting is off the record, with no press and no attribution of speakers’ comments without permission. Each session consists of the presentation of recent research results or insights on the topic, followed by a moderated, open discussion with all participants.
