2021 Nobel Prize Summit: OUR PLANET, OUR FUTURE

The National Academy of Sciences, in partnership with the Nobel Foundation, Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, and the Stockholm Resilience Centre (SRC)/Beijer Institute, will host the first-ever Nobel Prize Summit from April 26-28, 2021. Framed around the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), the Summit will gather a powerful network of Nobel Laureates, together with world-leading scientists, business leaders, writers, politicians, artists, and young people. The purpose is to continue building trust in scientific reasoning while exploring transformative models for people and the planet on some of the most pressing existential challenges faced by humanity on Earth: (1) climate change and biodiversity loss, (2) rising inequality, and (3) rapid societal transformation enabled by emerging and converging technologies. The Summit will provide opportunities for direct engagement between the general public and Nobel Laureates and experts. A Proceedings of a Workshop will be prepared by a designated rapporteur in accordance with institutional guidelines.
