Dominic Waughray, Head of Public Private Partnerships of the World Economic Forum, will be discussing how we can secure the future of our global environmental commons. The World Economic Forum Global Risk Report for 2016 highlights how these environmental risks also connect to other geopolitical risks like non-voluntary migration. What is to be done? Can a new system of multi-stakeholder alliances underpinned by new technologies help to secure our global commons offer a more effective complement to our traditional multilateral approaches for global environmental governance? This talk will explore how this new dimension in international cooperation is taking shape as we shift from the Holocene to the Anthropocene.
