The Geopolitics of COVID-19 and Climate Change

Webinar on the role of disruptors in the transformation to sustainability

In times of crisis, social structures and institutions are put to the test and normal practices called into question. Disruptive events can lead to the emergence of new cultural expressions, daily routines, power relations and resource distribution. Could the COVID-19 pandemic be the catalyst for a societal transformation toward sustainability, as envisioned by the UN and the European Union? Or will efforts to restore business as usual drive a new surge of carbon emissions, fear and international distrust?

“The Corona crisis is a 100-meter race and the climate crisis is a marathon. We have to run both at the same time” – Victor Galaz, Stockholm Resilience Centre.

The webinar will begin with selected short presentations/interventions on the topic, and a panel debate will follow. Comments and questions from the audience will be posted in the chat function and addressed by the moderator. Join this discussion to learn more about the geopolitics of sustainable development in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
