We Don't Have Time and Ragn-Sells are proud to present the first episode in a series of six in-depth table talks on the subject of circularity. In this episode, C02, the main greenhouse gas, is in focus. The episode will look at whether a circular economy transforms it from a problem to a useful resource. What role carbon pricing plays in enabling this shift and present real world examples. Read more.
Organizers:
With increasingly dire forecasts on climate change, companies across the globe have rushed to commit to net zero carbon emissions. However, pledges are not plans, and – despite this wave of good faith – significant obstacles exist for most organizations to reach their targets, including the limits of re-engineering and the pace of implementation of new technologies. The challenges are made more complex – but also more urgent – with the emergence of new laws and regulations under consideration in Europe and the United States.
This session will explore:
Organizers:
To reach net zero global emissions by 2050 and avert the worst impacts of climate change, the world will need to deploy clean energy technologies much more rapidly. This will require a massive surge in public and private investment across mature, clean technologies and early-stage and breakthrough solutions. Support for clean energy innovation and transition is especially critical for emerging and developing economies as they try to reconcile poverty alleviation and economic growth with global decarbonization goals. Proven strategies – from investment in local research and innovation to knowledge and technology transfer – can help countries advance cleantech solutions tailored to their specific needs and take the lead in determining their own energy future.

First came the historic drought in Africa, China, and Europe, exacerbated by global warming and lowering crop yields. Then came a global pandemic, disrupting the global supply chain of critical agricultural trade. The war in Ukraine followed with two consequences: the cost of oil has doubled prices for fertilizer, and a blockade of Ukraine’s grain has reduced supplies to Africa, the Middle East, and Asia by half. As a result of these issues, more than 276 million people around the world are at risk of acute food insecurity. This number is twice as high as it was three years ago, leading to what the World Food Program is calling a “hunger catastrophe.” As global supply chains and traditional farming practices have been increasingly disrupted by the effects of climate change and geopolitical events, there are urgent needs to adopt climate-smart, regenerative, and indigenous agricultural practices around the world and to help create equitable and sustainable access to nutritious food.

As the impacts of climate change worsen, accelerating climate adaptation strategies to the same levels of mitigation has become more urgent and will require increased investment. The Global Commission on Adaptation estimates that investing $1.8 trillion in climate adaptation from 2020 to 2030 could generate $7.1 trillion in total net benefits – in avoided losses, lower risks and improved economic benefits, and social and environmental benefits such as improved biodiversity and cleaner air and water. Climate adaptation measures protect the most vulnerable communities and ecosystems, and make companies more resilient to climate-related environmental and economic shocks.

We Don't Have Time and Ragn-Sells are proud to present the third episode in a series of six in-depth table talks on the subject of circularity. The third episode of the Circular Table Talks series will focus on the need for new principles behind circular flows of resources. Shifting the focus from waste treatment to resource generation.
In the episode the difficult issue of how to manage complex waste streams will be tackled. These not only carry composite materials that are hard to separate and recycle, but they also contain toxic substances. One alternative to the traditional method of piling this waste into landfills, is the use of controlled incineration of hazardous waste. Hear from companies that are developing this type of waste management system about its benefits.
We will also take stock of the global state of resource recycling, take a deep dive into new developments in the Nordics and explore some new innovations that are being developed.
Listen to experts and practitioners that are transforming the waste management sector from a linear waste treatment process into a circular resource generating process. Where resources flow in a loop, getting detoxified and separated into useful materials so that they can be used again and again. Read more.

Conventional wisdom in the climate action and advocacy space too often sees innovation and the deployment of green technology as a given, taken care of by the private sector, whereas the catalyzation and protection of such solutions to the climate crisis need a much sharper, systematic and visionary policy approach. This session will draw on initial pioneering work done in collaboration between the Climate Governance Commission and the Exponential Roadmap Initiative on the concept of "Exponential Policy" — that is, policies tailored across the climate solution life-cycle to trigger cascading system changes, addressing key areas of economic and social transformation.

Over 60% of people worldwide see ‘much more’ coverage of climate problems rather than solutions. We’ve got to flip that script and make our solutions media-worthy. Our panel of journalists will explore what makes a great story, share the worst press releases they’ve received and help plot climate coverage that’s solutions-orientated. Join us to learn the tricks of the trade.

New research has warned the world might be passing 5 dangerous tipping points, including the collapse of the Greenland and West Antarctic Ice Sheets, tropical coral reef die off, and the abrupt thawing of Northern permafrost. But…points can tip both ways. Solutions House is delighted to host leading voices from the recent conference Tipping Points – From Climate Crisis to Positive Transformation. Hot off the press from that event, leaders from the Earth4All initiative will share 5 ‘positive tipping points’ – the extraordinary turnarounds the world needs right now, and how to deliver them. This is a radical blueprint for change and Solutions House will be the first to hear this new agenda. Come and be tipped towards the answers.

This year, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) put people power into the plan to meet the Paris Agreement. They calculate that 'behavior and socio-cultural' changes could rapidly save 5% of all demand-side carbon emissions. The potential is huge, but how do we get there? Join behavioral scientists and pioneering businesses to discover products and persuasion which could change our lives (and the climate) for good.

We Don’t Have Time and UNDP are proud to present Dino Talks VII, the seventh episode in a series of 10 about fossil fuel subsidies. Today, oil-based fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides still dominate in agriculture. Too often, they are supplied from energy intensive mining operations and long supply chains with heavy carbon footprints invariably supported by subsidized fossil fuels. Could we make agriculture more efficient, less polluting and more careful of scarce resources, if fossil fuel subsidies were managed down and innovations are given a better chance to compete and succeed?
