MORNING SESSION – FOR SUSTAINABILITY LEADERS

For business leaders, sustainability managers, or those responsible for sustainability at their workplace.

What does the future look like when we’ve achieved the global goals? What happens when companies, municipalities, and organizations take the lead for a circular, sustainable economy?

Albert Askeljung from UN Global Compact Network will discuss the global and Swedish progress toward sustainable development goals.

Eva Friman from UUniCORN at Uppsala University leads a workshop where we think freely: What does a sustainable, profitable society look like? We listen, discuss – and then sketch together. How does your
organization look in the future sustainable society? What do you do? How do you live? How does it feel?

Profitable circular businesses show the way to the future and present a potpourri of hope and optimism.

AFTERNOON SESSION – FOR COMMUNITY LEADERS

For all of us who want to influence our future and take responsibility for a sustainable lifestyle. Both at work and beyond.

What is a sustainable lifestyle – existentially, economically, ecologically, and socially? How do we build communities where we feel purpose, hope, and optimism for the future? How do we live a life that benefits both ourselves and the planet and humanity?

Erik Fernholm, one of the founders of Inner Development Goals, thought leader, social entrepreneur, and award-winning speaker, invites everyone to discussions and inspiration about what unites us at a deeper level.

Åsa Persson is the chair of the Climate Policy Council, one of Sweden’s most influential voices in climate and sustainable development work, and advisor to the UN.

Emil Jensen’s holistic musical and philosophical perspective accompanies us during the afternoon.

Tim Bergling Foundation shares their work for a society where children and young people thrive, feel secure and optimistic about the future, and can reach their full potential.

Najat Abbas, Secretary General of The Good Talents, a non-profit organization that elevates and strengthens young talents whose capacity and resources have yet to be recognized.
