Do Young People Want to Take the Lead in Sustainable Development?

The Wyss Academy for Nature at the University of Bern offers a new approach to pressing issues at the intersection of climate change, biodiversity loss and land use change. In its 2023 Annual Report, it looks back at the fourth year since its creation. Watch this interview with Emine Ertugrul, Engagement Specialist at the Competence Center for Global Policy Outreach & Synthesis Center (headed by Tatjana von Steiger).
The team of the Global Policy Outreach & Synthesis Center forges connections and bridges between diverse actors, from the local to the global level, in order to build a new societal contract around innovations for people and nature. Additionally, they support the synthesis of various perspectives and knowledge from academia, policy, and society. With an inclusive approach that includes the creation of safe spaces, they encourage curiosity and openness to experiment with and test new methods, and to challenge conventional thinking.
