Leaders in government, business, civil society, and science will gather at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on January 20–24 to address global and regional challenges.

During a year that has already witnessed catastrophic fires and storms, it’s crucial that leaders support and adopt the latest research to underpin our political and economic systems.

That’s why the Earth Commission, an international scientific assessment convened and hosted by Future Earth, will be there to spotlight science’s central role in accelerating  just and inclusive systems change to safeguard our planet.

Wednesday, Jan 22.
2:45-3:45pm

Location: arcticbasecamp.org

Science’s vital role in shaping global decision-making amid escalating climate and environmental crises. Explore essential topics like safe and just boundaries and translating insights into action.

Gail Whiteman, Arctic Basecamp; Wendy Broadgate, Future Earth; Joyeeta Gupta, Earth Commission; Jane Madgwick, GCA and others TBC

Safe and Just science first took center-stage at WEF in 2023, when the two Earth Commission Co-chairs, Johan Rockström and Joyeeta Gupta, delivered a preview of the Earth System Boundaries.

This year the Commission, along with Future Earth’s Interim Coordinating Director Wendy Broadgate,  will share how the latest science shows the path to prosperity for people and the planet but only if humanity can learn to live within Earth’s safe and just boundaries and ensure equitable conditions for all.
