Addressing climate change successfully requires broad- based support. The scope of the problem is enormous and cannot be solved solely by private businesses and government agencies. All affected parties need to be part of the dialogue. To maximize impact, we need to engage societies as a whole. From the industry standpoint, this means including those who are intrinsic to production (e. CSOs). Recognizing that diverse groups verifiably generate superior solutions to complex problems, this session brings together academics, activists, artists and civic leaders to discuss innovative ways to help tackle climate change.
