Opening Ceremony
Earth is well underway to 6th Mass extinction, caused by human activities. Our scientific understanding of the causes and implications of the biodiversity decline for planetary health and human wellbeing and health are fairly well understood. There is, however, a clear gap in translating scientific knowledge into action and impact. In the panel discussion and plenary presentation, we will explore how to move from science to action to impact, and how to achieve a nature- and people-positive future.
Opening Panel:
Hosted by Michael Schaepman, President of the University of Zurich, Alice Ruhweza (WWF), Jeannine Cavendar-Bares (Harvard University), Susanne Conrad (PwC), Walter Jetz (Yale University), Oliver Schelske (SwissRe) and Josef Settele (UFZ) share their experiences on how to move from science to action and impact. Moderated by Claudia Keller (UZH)
