The overarching theme of the Online Tylösand Summit 2020 is Climate Change. This session focuses on global leadership and cooperation with respect to climate change, in light of the ongoing crisis.

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.
