From the US to India, Brazil, and the UK, a polarizing political climate fueled by misinformation, fake news, and aggression is becoming a critical turning point for our society as people lose trust in democracy and institutions. We believe that deep and interconnected structural factors related to income inequality, demographic change, and more, are at play and as sustainability professionals, understanding the implications of nationalism and contributing trends will be critical to making any progress in the years to come. Forum for the Future will lead this roundtable and draw upon their research on nationalism and rising polarization conducted over the past two years. Come and join a discussion on how environmental issues, international agreements, and sustainability initiatives are impacted by a polarized world, and what we as sustainability professionals and leading companies could do about it.

About Roundtable Lunches: Join interactive lunch discussions, moderated by an expert or thought leader, held at a roundtable of up to 10 participants. These are freeform discussions, so bring your own challenges, questions and ideas to talk through and get to know your fellow conference participants. All roundtable lunches do not have advanced sign-up — participation is first-come, first-served.
