【想像2050—落實永續發展目標的關鍵轉型行動】
為進一步思考如何實踐聯合國設定的永續發展目標,國際應用系統分析研究所(International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis,IIASA),併同永續發展策略聯盟(Sustainable Development Solutions Network)與斯德哥爾摩韌性中心(Stockholm Resilience Centre),共同發起「The World in 2050, TWI 2050」計畫。
本次論壇邀請到此計畫的執行長─Nebojsa Nakicenovic教授,分享該計畫於2018年、2019年發布的兩份關鍵報告的研究成果,希望藉此刺激大眾思考在臺灣發展脈絡下,數位化的永續轉型所帶來的挑戰與可能。
日期:2019年10月23日(三) 09:30-12:00(09:00開始報到)
地點:臺灣大學社會科學院3樓 梁國樹國際會議廳

A new report warns the Earth is at risk of becoming a "hothouse" if global temperatures continue to rise.
I recently spoke to Johan Rockström, executive director of the Stockholm Resilience Centre and one of the co-authors of the report about our planetary path ahead.
It's a dire future.
"We are already at 1°C warming and are seeing extreme events like droughts, floods, fires," Rockström tells me.
"If we pass 2°C, most indications are we can still adapt.
"But if we reach 3-4°C warming... it would mean a planet that cannot serve the modern world as we recognize it.
"There will be large tracts of arid lands that will be uninhabitable, massive movements of people, difficult producing food, pandemics, no more ice sheets, people moving up into the Polar regions... this would be a different planet entirely."
And yet, Rockström remains hopeful (!!). He says, "the path to success is there" but it will require high-tech innovation, policy rethinks, behavioral change and the transformation of social values.
Can we steer our planet away from a "hothouse" future? There's no choice.
The scientists have sounded the alarm. Now we must take action on ALL fronts...
