The overarching theme of the Online Tylösand Summit 2020 is Climate Change. This session focuses on the impact and cost of climate change and what policy conclusions that can be drawn based on this knowledge.
This digital conference replaces the original Tylösand Summit in August that was canceled due to the outbreak of the coronavirus. In a series of sessions, we discuss issues such as the costs of climate change, the role that international trade and financial markets can play, global leadership and cooperation, as well as the way forward after the pandemic.
The entire programme of the summit can be found here. Please note that the summit is open to executive level representatives of SNS member organisations and special guests by invitation only.
