#1: Creating a platform for exchange between politics, science, business, associations and civil society
#2: Making sustainable development accessible to a broad audience, especially the youth
#3: Elaboration of a Recommendation Paper to support future policy decisions within the four focus topics
The independent advisory board composed of scientific representatives and journalists shapes the content of the Sustainability Days and steers the development of tangible solutions with the four key topics.
Politicians provide the necessary framework for the discussion on the following days. The focus will lie on current policies such as EU Green Deal, PNRR and Farm2Fork. International renowned speakers underline the relevance of the overall topic against a global background.
Renowned opinion leaders will contribute various points of view and interpretations of a „sustainable development“ thus adding different perspectives to the „right mindset“.
What will the future look like: The youth takes the stage and underlines the urgency of actions. Speakers model scenarios of a future world, worth living in and offering sustainable perspectives.
Based on the provided inputs and future scenarios, established and to be developed solutions will be discussed on stage. The work of the Advisory Board and the Expert Groups will be presented and handed-over to the policy makers.
To broaden the platform of discussion, we were looking for interested parties to contribute to the success of the event.
Ideas for contributions could be submitted until April 2022.
The selected contributors will get a pre-defined time slot on one of the stages, where they can present their solution(s) for a more sustainable development of rural regions to the broad audience of the event.
