The panel at our Awards Ceremony, 'How can planetary boundary research be shaped and amplified to influence policy and practice, enabling a sustainable future?', focused on exploring how the transformative power of systems-based research in planetary boundary science, which identifies potential pathways for solutions, can be leveraged to influence industry, economics, governance, and policy.
Key takeaways from the panel:
👉 Scientists need to become actors outside the scientific community, specifically in the policy space, for their insights to be translated into real-world impact. This requires a two-way communication between scientists and policy makers.
👉 We need to train people in multiple stages of their career on the topic of sustainability so they can participate and learn from the latest scientific developments.
👉 What enables science to impact society is innovation and the innovation we need should be need-based, vision-driven and transformative.
👉 We need to promote the adoption of three core values along the science-innovation chain: caring, sharing, and daring

1wHonoured to be there and to meet and chat to do many of the wonderful scientists, who are working to help guide actions across multiple Planetary boundaries. As well as to meet the young Villars Champions. Another excellent Villars experience! So grateful!
