17:00 – 18:30 WORLD BANK SPONSORED PANEL: Resource scarcity, resilience and collective action
Chair: TBA Grand Auditorium
Climate change is expected to increase the variability of supply of many essential resources, such as freshwater, and where local scarcity or abundance may threaten the livelihood of many people. In developing countries, the government is not always able to effectively manage the use of these resources, and collective action by local communities is needed to ensure the continued availability of these resources.
This panel will address under what circumstances increased scarcity of resources may strengthen collective action, and when collective action will break down. The panel will also address what policies are effective in increasing the system’s resilience – resilience of the natural system, and of the social system. Special attention will also be given to the intersection between the two, in the form of the insurance value of nature.

13:00 – 14:30 UN-ENV SPONSORED PANEL: SDGs and the Road to Sustainability Grand Auditorium
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have been designed by the United Nations to end poverty, protect the planet, and to ensure prosperity to all. There are 17 Global Goals such as “affordable and clean energy”, “quality education”, “climate action” and “responsible consumption and production”. The SDGs are intended as a call for action, but also as a guideline how current policies need to be revised (and what new policies need to be implemented) in order to achieve the objectives by the year 2030.
This panel will address the issue to what extent SDGs are expected to provide a significant push towards sustainability, and whether alternative measures of sustainability, like Inclusive Wealth and Genuine Progress, can act as complements or substitutes for the SDGs – as a measure of progress towards sustainability, and as a guideline for action. The panel will also address the issue to what extent the SDGs influence actual policy making. Special attention will be paid to the two major factors that critically affect the feasibility of sustainable development – population growth, and the existence of positive feedbacks in the climate system – and how they are addressed in the SDGs.
