Contributing to changing the narrative as we all strive to reach the 2030 SDG goals is essential. How do we flip the script so that the voices from the South are heard? Perhaps sharing exemplars and ideas and co-creating solutions will help contribute to the debate. As part of this workshop and conversation we share exemplars from the South focusing on key areas that need focusing on.

As part of this workshop we aim to focus on enhancing societies and economies through an interdisciplinary approach. Through work done at UWC we aim to share the idea of how collective thinking and engagement can address two听key areas that challenge society in South Africa.

Exemplar 1: South Africa has the highest unemployment rate in world at 34%. A country such as Norway has an unemployment rate of 4%. Why is the unemployment rate in Norway so low.

Exemplar 2: A second example is the need for leadership. Delivering on the SDGs needs a focus on leadership to drive this agenda.

Exemplar 3: SANORD: South -North exemplar of collaborative partnerships for the SDG's.

Exemplar 4: Social Innovation and听Entrepreneurship. Social innovation and entrepreneurship can be used to drive the SDGs.

Climate change concerns all aspects of our lives and affects how we think about our lifestyle as consumers, our political behaviour as citizens and how we perceive the future of humanity. In addition to political measures, the willingness among individuals seems to be a prerequisite for necessary actions. However, citizens require better guidance and facilitation for 鈥済reen choices鈥� from politicians; and the youth, who will have to live with the consequences of climate change today and in the future, are calling for more action.

We suppose that people鈥檚 motivation to make a personal effort is affected by how they perceive the efficiency of climate policies, on the one hand; on the other, that politicians鈥� support for climate policies is strongly influenced by how they perceive the citizens鈥� motivation to change their lifestyle. And all seem influenced by how the motivations of the other part are represented in media coverage.

In this event, we will focus on different voices: 1) the rhetoric of people鈥檚 (notably young people鈥檚) motivations, 2) how politicians perceive and prioritize people鈥檚 everyday matters and 3) how journalists consider covering everyday lifestyle matters.

The event is organized by the听CLIMLIFE project, focusing on lifestyle matters in a climate perspective, affiliated to the cross-disciplinary听LINGCLIM听research group, at the Department of foreign languages, University of Bergen (UiB).

SDG 16 focuses on听peace, justice, and strong institutions. Norway is considered the 14th most peaceful country out of 170 countries when it comes to crime and violence,听and number seven out of 179 countries with the least corruption.听Relative to other countries, Norway is doing well in terms of SDG 16.

However, Norway still has a way to go.听Norwegians do not have adequate and equal access to legal protection. Additionally, several institutions in our legal system lack resources and competence, which affect those who receive incorrect decisions after a long period of processing.

More foods from the oceans and aquatic environments have been an important aspect for increasing health and healthy food availability. However the feed ingredients have come under criticism for not been sustainable on basis of volume, transport and land use in terms of terrestrial products.

This event puts focus on possible alternative marine and land based products which can differentiate from mainly soy based feed to more marine or more locally produced ingredients.听Examples could be marine low trophic alternatives such as micro algae, blue mussels, aquatic macro plants, mesopelagic fish but also locally produced terrestrial products and food waste. The latter could also lead to a more circular economy in the aquaculture business.

Programme:
Introduction to challenges of high volume high quality sustainable fish feed
Amund Maage, Marine Director at UiB and former Head of Research at NIFES (now Institute of Marine Research), will introduce the field. For several year, Maage led the Food Authority project on Norwegian Fish Feed Monitoring. He holds a PhD in fish nutrition.

More locally produced marine ingredients such as blue mussels and kelp to improve the sustainability of Norwegian fish farming
Harald Sveier is Research and Innovation Manager in the large stock listed seafood company Ler酶y Seafood Group ASA. He holds a PhD in fish Nutrition from UiB/NIFES. Sveier will focus his talk on new marine ingredients underdevelopment in Ler酶y with focus on blue mussels and kelp.

Open Research Agenda Setting (ORAS) is a process of engaging stakeholders in charting out areas of interest and developing priorities for research. ORAS is especially relevant for urban climate transformation, where the research agenda and outputs can have a direct impact on people鈥檚 lives and livelihoods, and where people鈥檚 lived experiences and insights can make a valuable contribution to identifying research questions.

In this workshop, we will involve participants in developing an agenda for urban climate transformation research. The overarching challenge will first be introduced with short presentations by decisionmakers and researchers working in this field in Bergen. Participants will then be introduced to activities such as systems mapping or scenario development that will help identify areas where further research or knowledge sharing is needed.

Through the workshop, participants will gain a greater understanding of the challenges of urban climate transformation from multiple perspectives and contribute to a research agenda that will be disseminated at UiB and through the Arqus network.

Addressing the interlinkages and trade-offs between different SDGs across global value chains (GVC) is fundamental for promoting sustainable development. Direct and indirect impacts on SDGs appear in all stages of value chains, from the extraction of raw materials to the operation of businesses, the final use and end-of-life management of products with different effects on the environment, society, and the economy. Thus, these interlinkages at a global scale calls for a variety of modelling approaches to properly capture the interactions in global value chains.

This session will present and discuss the interlinkages and trade-offs on SDG indicators across GVCs. We will feature researchers working with sustainability impact assessment, evaluating the effects of current and new technologies in cross-border SDG indicators.

Afterward, researchers and practitioners working on SDG implementation will share their experiences and insights about their challenges and outcomes. The session will end with questions and open discussion.

Join us to learn and contribute about the relevance of understanding SDG interlinkages across global value chains!

鈥淟eaving No Child and No Adolescent Behind鈥� is the call of a new book edited by Sudeshna Chatterjee, Alberto Minujin and Katie Hodgkinson. It shines a spotlight on the world鈥檚 most vulnerable children and adolescents living in poverty and exclusion.

The book draws on experiences from some 35 countries and provides in-depth analysis of rich empirical evidence while reflecting on the meaning of 鈥榠nclusion鈥� for children and adolescents who are often left behind. It reminds us that SDG targets and goals cannot be met unless we focus attention on pockets of inequity and deprivation. The book also provides unique insights on how knowledge, information, data collection, measurement and monitoring make the realities of children鈥檚 and adolescents鈥� lives more visible.

This event will use the book as a springboard for discussion on new analyses and policies to fight poverty, exclusion, and violence against children to measure and track progress against SDG targets. The editors and some of the contributing authors will discuss some key ideas and invite participants to share their experiences of strategies and innovations for implementing the SDGs.

The world is producing enormous amounts of waste every single day. Handling these lost resources requires money, time, and energy. Some trash is recycled, but too much is incinerated, landfilled, or lost in nature. Cleaning up waste after it麓s gone astray has proven both difficult and costly, while no one claims responsibility.

Most of our society and our economic system promotes and supports continued economic growth based on extracting resources, and using them for a short time before disposing of them, to make room for new products. This way of constructing our societies damages the health of our planet, of humans, and treathens the survival of animals on land and below water. Ogoori addresses this systemic failure and the lack of awareness that has brought us to this point.

During this workshop, we will teach the participants how to translate an environmental problem within their area of passion, into a business opportunity. We will use Ogoori as a case for the method and guide the participants through a thought process serving as a fundament for their own regenerative business development.

The energy transition is happening. It will include decision-masking that shapes our society, performed by governments, investors, companies and citizens. The decision will be based on knowledge from a multitude of disciplines. It is important that discipline experts are involved, and they need broad knowledge bases outside their main competence areas in order to identify the most desirable actions.

The course SDG207 (10 ECTS) aims at providing students with a multidisciplinary background for future decision making towards net-zero emission society. The course involves lecturers from a variety of faculties and institutes at UiB (including mathematics and natural sciences, social sciences law, psychology and politics) as well as external experts. The course was run as a Flipped Classroom course in 2021. The course is open to students from all UiB faculties, and a shortened and 100% digital version of the course (SDG607, 5 ECTS) is offered to participants outside the UiB.

SDG 207 targets students with at least two years of University background, irrespective of what discipline they study. SDG 607 targets individuals which have completed their education, including teachers and individuals who (want to) work with energy (and energy transition)-related challenges.

The Global Independent Expert Group on the Universities and the 2030 Agenda (EGU2030) was launched in October 2020 by UNESCO in collaboration with the University of Bergen. The Expert Group鈥檚 mandate was to reflect on the necessary knowledge and transformations required for higher education institutions to contribute to the achievement of the UN鈥檚 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The result was a one-year collaboration of 14 experts from around the globe, whose report will be officially launched at the World Higher Education Conference (WHEC2022) to be held 18-20 May 2022. Their report is entitled: Knowledge-driven actions: Transforming higher education for global sustainability.

This digital event is not only a celebration of the work of the EGU2030, but an occasion to critically engage in discussions on the role of higher education institutions in achieving the 2030 Agenda. One of the preliminary aims of the report is to inspire and invigorate such discussions among the higher education community on why and how they can contribute to the SDGs, and not shying away from conversations on the challenges of doing so.

This event is an opportunity to do just that. In sharing about the EGU2030 report, we can begin to critically engage with its recommendations and implications. The aim is to encourage discussions and generate critical reflections about this report and the contributions of higher education institutions to the achievement of the 2030 Agenda.

Academia often overlooks the knowledge that indigenous communities have built for centuries. The IPCC highlights indigenous knowledge as an important asset for solving the climate crisis. At the same time, we see that indigenous knowledge is given very little space in the SDGs and the Agenda 2030. But when indigenous people are excluded from the educational system, it does not only affect the individual, but the whole society. In this discussion, we want to explore the importance of indigenous research and knowledge in reaching the SDGs.

In a world with different ways of knowing, what kind of knowledge do we listen to and let guide our actions? What are the characteristics of indigenous approaches to research? How can we include indigenous knowledge and systems of knowledge production in mainstream academia and western institutions?

I l酶pet av de siste 氓rene har flere og flere sett seg lei politikere som ikke greier 氓 kutte nok utslipp, og som dermed g氓r rettens gang for 氓 tvinge frem fortgang. Skal det vise seg at det er lov og rett som faktisk til for 氓 芦redde禄 klimaet?听

Klimas酶ksm氓l, Paris-avtalen, lover om forurensing, arealbruk og naturvern er alle eksempler p氓 hvordan juss kan spille sentrale roller i deler av den gr酶nne omstillingen.

Pressing complex issues such as climate adaptation, biodiversity loss, chemical risks and pandemics exemplify society鈥檚 heavy reliance on institutionalised expertise to inform and justify action. But in deploying knowledge for action, a narrow selection of knowledge is privileged, while other knowledge is silenced.

Faced with uncertainty, high stakes, disputed values and urgent decision-making, a plurality of knowledges must be considered when finding ways to properly scope the decision space. This requires a new practice of transdisciplinary knowledge co-creation within extended partnerships for actionable knowledge.

About the event
How to engage a wider range of knowledge-holders in how societies identify, select, quality assure and mobilize knowledge that informs societal responses to pressing issues.

This event presents and discusses the ideas of our ongoing bid in SFF V - the听听- for a听Centre of Actionable Knowledges.听

Our proposed CoE will explore and assess whether a turn to a more inclusive and socially robust knowledge base, attentive to epistemic pluralism, can expand the range of policy options, avoid addressing the wrong problems and reduce unforeseen impacts. The CoE seeks to enable and catalyse a reform of the social organisation of expertise.

The event consists of short perspectives and discussions by the proposed PIs and other leading scholars on how to accommodate diversification of knowledge forms in the co-creation of actionable knowledge.

Private car owners have their own interest union in Norway, as do cyclists, whilst bus drivers as a collective group do not. For this reason, a group of researchers joined forces with an art collective and started a Bus Riders鈥� Union (Bussbrukernes Landsforening). The goal of this union is to visualise the experiences of bus riders in Norway, including the benefits of riding the bus and the barriers they face to convenient bus travel.

Additionally, the union seeks to unite bus riders in their claims for improved investment on bus infrastructure. There is a tendency for the most vulnerable groups in society to be the ones who depend on bus infrastructure, as opposed to cycling, railways, or private vehicles. We therefore take into account how a bus riders鈥� union addresses issues of inequality, urban sustainability, and consumption.

We invite with us representatives from bus riders鈥� unions in the United States and Norwegian mobility companies to display how it is possible to pursue changes in transport systems. We seek insight from participants through a brainstorming activity that BLF can take forward.

The event aims at highlighting the critical role of younger generations in addressing local and global challenges, particularly in these complex times derived from the COVID-19 pandemic, to advance the 2030 Agenda with innovative ideas and solutions.

Students have been role models on campuses and beyond, to show how small-scale projects can make a significant contribution to the SDGs.

We will hear stories from member institutions of the UN Academic Impact (UNAI), notably the SDG Hubs, but also from alumni of the UNAI-MCN Fellowship Program.听

The aim of this workshop is to brainstorm around a student-led dissemination event around sustainability, open to the public. Many of you are involved in one or more UiB courses related to the Sustainable Development Goals agenda, where you discuss and investigate in groups on specific issues you decide to be of upmost importance for a more sustainable world. You present the outcomes of your work to the academic communities (students, researchers, technicians) with a manuscript and a poster, but how about pushing the idea a bit further by communicating your research to the public during a dedicated event?

What could be the ideas, tools or approaches to make your findings appealing for anyone a bit curious but without scientific education? How to convey your message in a fun and efficient way so it could spontaneously diffuse through Bergen municipality? Let's all meet across the different SDG courses and discuss around the table to create this student-led arena for sustainability!

Practical information: this workshop will be hybrid, with group discussions on the potentialities and the feasibility of such an event, either around the table or in break-out rooms for people attending digitally. For each group/room, a moderator will guide the exchanges and will summarise the main outputs for the different sessions. We will use interactive tools (e.g. Menti, Miro) to make the discussions more dynamic and easiest for everyone to provide inputs.

Organiser:听Morgane Kerdoncuff, PhD (PhD project). I work on grazing systems in the Nordhordland Biosphere Reserve, and more particularly on how different managements and types of livestock affect biodiversity (plant communities, beetle assemblages) and ecosystem services delivery (fodder production, carbon storage鈥�). I am also teaching assistant on听SDG215 (Life on Land)听and BIO300A (Academic writing) courses, and lab assistant on BIO201 (Ecology) and BIO241 (Behavioural ecology) courses.

Environmental change has hit a pace without analogy. Fossil fuel combustion has become a major driver of anthropogenic climate change. The roll-out of lower-carbon energy infrastructures to replace existing energy systems is central to decarbonisation and constitutes an opportunity to involve formerly marginalised members of society.

Empirics bring into question both the extent of energy transitions 鈥� as humanity burns more fossil fuels every year 鈥� and the roll-out of lower-carbon energy, which has created new or exacerbated existing environmental injustices from extraction to decommissioning. As affluent world economies pursue growth-driven agendas (e.g., SDG 8), and developmental efforts with questionable socio-ecological consequences, new energy infrastructures are implemented without much consideration, premised on their entanglements with the dominant modality.

Workshop participants will explore how to implement energy technologies in ways that justify harnessing vital flows (e.g. sun & wind) to produce renewable energy. Contributors will draw on manuscripts under development for a special issue of the Norwegian Journal of Geography.

B忙rekraft er ordet p氓 alles lepper - ogs氓 i universitets- og h酶yskolesektoren.

Det er vanskelig 氓 finne noen som er uenig i at kampen mot klimaendringene er viktig, men det gjenst氓r enn氓 氓 bli enig om hvordan man skal kjempe. Hvilken rolle skal utdanningsinstitusjonene ha i arbeidet om 氓 n氓 FNs b忙rekraftsm氓l? Hva er egentlig akademias ansvar overfor den globale verden, og hva skylder de studentene som st氓r foran et liv langt mer preget av klimaendringene enn tidligere generasjoner?

Studentparlamentet UiB og Norsk studentorganisasjon inviterer til debatt, og rektorene ved Norges fem st酶rste universiteter m氓 svare p氓 hvordan de jobber for 氓 n氓 klimam氓lene. Fossile fond, kliman酶ytral drift og flyreiser for feltarbeid er fritt vilt n氓r studentene f氓r stille sine overhoder til veggs.

Day Zero kickstarter den femte nasjonale B忙rekraftskonferansen i Bergen. Her m酶ter universitets- og h酶yskolesektoren i Norge beslutningstakere, frivillige organisasjoner, n忙ringsliv, fagbevegelse og andre for et kritisk blikk p氓 hvordan sektoren skal jobbe med B忙rekraftsm氓lene. Hva er akademias samfunnsansvar i klimadebatten? Er Akademia egentlig b忙rekraftig, og hva kan vi gj酶re bedre?

Panelet best氓r av:

• Margareth Hagen, rektor ved UiB
• Mette Halskov Hansen, viserektor ved UiO
• Dag Rune Olsen, rektor ved UiT
• Anne Borg, rektor ved NTNU
• Curt Rice, rektor ved NMBU

Programledere for kvelden er Ole Jacob Broch, student ved UiB og leder av studentparlamentets b忙rekraftskomite, og Tuva Todem Lund, leder av NSO (Norsk studentorganisasjon).

Debatten g氓r digitalt kl 17:30, og er i likhet med resten av konferansen helt gratis.
