Bergen Summit 2021

In November 2021, the Nobel Sustainability Trust (NST) successfully convened its annual Sustainability Summit in Bergen, Norway. The event brought together a distinguished group of professors from world-renowned universities as well as leading entrepreneurs and innovators from across the globe, including participants from France, Sweden, Norway, the United Kingdom, China, Japan, and Switzerland.​

 

Over the course of the summit, experts engaged in a series of high-level panel discussions addressing some of the most urgent and complex questions facing humanity today. Topics included the future of sustainability, the transition to renewable energy, the balance between economic development and environmental protection, and the role of innovation in creating resilient societies.​

 

The summit served as a unique platform for interdisciplinary dialogue, where academics, business leaders, and policymakers exchanged perspectives on how to accelerate the global transition toward sustainable practices. In addition to exploring technological solutions and policy frameworks, the participants emphasized the importance of international cooperation, cross-sector collaboration, and the need for immediate action to address climate change and resource depletion.​

 

By fostering dialogue between science, industry, and policy, the Bergen Summit reaffirmed NST’s mission to promote sustainability worldwide and underscored the foundation’s commitment to building bridges between diverse sectors and nations. The insights and recommendations generated during the discussions have continued to inform NST’s ongoing programs and initiatives, strengthening its role as a catalyst for positive global change.
