Glasgow 01.11.2021: Leadership and engagement

Organizer: Climate Change Leadership at Uppsala University

Drivers, barriers and opportunities on the road to and from Glasgow. This workshop explores how lessons learned can be of value outside the Nordic Countries, and what can be learnt from efforts elsewhere.

Organizer: Scottish Government

We will showcase best practice examples of actions that Scottish and Nordic sport are taking to tackle the climate crisis. This will be followed by a panel discussion on the civic responsibility of sport and clubs that are rooted in their local communities, and government’s role in supporting sport sustainability.
Times are GMT.

Science denial is a serious bottleneck for climate policymaking, seen both in the past and recently, in the aftermath of IPCC-AR6.
