KEYNOTESCONFERENCE
THERESA SCAVENIUSAalborg University The domino effect of democracy
The domino effect of climate change where different feedback loops amplifies one anoth-er, pushing Earth towards ‘hothouse’ state is increasingly recognised. Less recognised is the domino effect of institutional incapacity to response to climate change. Institutional incapacity is a state where the political institutions are either too weak or too dysfunctional to implement the needed climate policies. In the keynote, Theresa Scavenius argues that democracy remains the political institution that have the potential of highest institutional capacity. Nonetheless, too little attention has been paid for the last decades to avoid the feedback loops that push the institutional incapacity trajectory within our democracies.
BRIAN VAD MATHIESENAalborg University Sustainable Energy systems can solve more challenges than the Climate Crisis
Brian Vad Mathiesen, Professor in Energy Planning and Renewable Energy Systems at Aalborg University is one of the leading researchers behind the concepts of Smart Energy Systems and electrofuels. His research focuses on the technological and socio-economic shift to renewable energy, large-scale integration of variable resources and the design of 100% renewable energy systems.
KLAUS SKYTTETechnical University of Denmark Regulating the green energy revolution
Klaus Skytte will debate the Nordic market model for trading electricity and decarboniz-ing the energy sectors. In a future fossil-free energy system with a massive deployment of variable renewable energy such as wind and solar energy, flexibility as well as incen-tives for capacity investments are required. Skytte looks at upcoming challenges with the Nordic market model, new trends and needs, and identifies possible new trajectories for a future reliable, sustainable and cost-effective Nordic energy market.
SIMON CANEYUniversity of Warwick Democracy and governing for the long term
Climate policy requires citizens and politicians to take the long view. Many worries wheth-er existing political institutions - including democracies - are up to the task. In this talk Simon Caney identifies the reasons why governments are often presentist and short-sight-ed, and on this basis, Simon Caney explores ways of redesigning our political institutions to better equip them for the intertemporal challenges raised by climate change.
DANIEL SAREWITZArizona State University Lessons from Three Lost Decades
The framings of climate change in the U.S. starting in the late 1980s and early 90s locked in a set of narratives about both the problem and the necessary policy solutions that guar-anteed political and practical failure. These disastrous initial conditions reflected funda-mental misunderstandings of science, politics, socio-technical systems, and complexity of the climate problem itself. Efforts to correct these misunderstandings have largely been ignored and even suppressed, but pervasive failure to make progress on climate is now beginning to provoke the sorts of policy and institutional experimentation along multiple pathways that should have been present from the start.
FREDE HVELPLUNDAalborg University Climate policy, ownership models and democracy
In a transition to 100% renewable energy, the distant fossil fuel value-added chain man-aged and owned by large power companies is replaced by consumer near investments in integrative smart energy systems. As consumers and municipalities already owns the point of departure technologies (houses, cars, district heating systems, etc.) and also are close to the energy system coordination tasks, consumers and municipalities may be the most democratic and efficient owners of future energy systems.

PETER BIRCH SØRENSENUniversity of Copenhagen Designing international negotiations on climate policy: An economist’s perspective
What are the key features of a fair and cost-effective international agreement on climate policy? Why have international negotiations achieved so little so far? How can the frame-work for negotiations on climate policy be redesigned to avoid free-riding by individual countries? And how can frontrunner countries maximize the international impact of their national climate policy? This keynote speech will discuss these issues from the perspec-tive of economic science.
CONNECTING THE DOTS: GREEN TRANSITION PLANTheresa Scavenius, Aalborg University
This final joint session defines key targets areas and propose a green transition plan based on the input from the panels’ discussion of the main problems & solutions within each sector. The goal is to suggest a plan with swim lanes for each sector.
INGE RØPKEAalborg University Economics for sustainability
The last decade has seen increasing critique of mainstream economic thinking for not pro-viding useful understandings of key issues related to the ever more pressing climate and biodiversity challenges, the financial crisis and social inequality. The talk outlines aspects of this critique and discusses whether the contours of a new economics are emerging.

PUBLIC CLIMATE ENGAGEMENT AS POST-NORMAL SCIENCE? A DANISH CASEChair: Stefan Gaarsmand Jacobsen, Roskilde University Anders Blok, University of Copenhagen Gregers Andersen, Stockholm University Irina Papazu, Copenhagen Business School
In early spring 2018, a transdisciplinary group of research colleagues drafted what became an open letter for climate action on the front-page of the largest Danish newspa-per Politiken on May 12. It was signed by 301 scientists in total and became part of the national news cycle for about a week. Further, the letter became a point of reference for students, media, protests and NGOs in campaigns throughout 2018.
Zooming out spatially, 2018 has seen a wave of increasingly politicized science commu-nication in large European newspapers on climate change and ecological crises from different science environments. The panel will discuss the Danish case in its international context from different fields of expertise. This includes discussion whether the Danish de-velopments in and rationales for new forms of science communication in the public realm is compatible with framework of post-normal science.
KLIMAPOLITIK - NÅR MARKEDER ER HVERKEN NATURLIGE ELLER PERFEKTE, MEN REGEL-BASEREDE ARENAER FOR KONKURRENCE (IN DANISH)Chair: Peter Karnøe, Aalborg University Jens Stissing Jensen, Aalborg University Klaus Skytte, The Technical University of Denmark Susse Georg, Aalborg University
Hvilken rolle spiller økonomisk ekspertise i at skabe mulige forståelser af markeder? Dette panel vil diskutere og præsentere forskellige perspektiver på, hvordan vi kan bevæge os væk fra en ensidig forståelse af markedet som ideal, og imod en forståelse af den ’politi-ske økonomi’ i markeder, såvel som den økonomisk ekspertises rolle i et konkret markeds-design.
THE INTERNET’S RISING ENERGY CONSUMPTION Chair: Leif Katsuo Oxenløwe, Technical University of Denmark Dag Lundén, Telia Company Anders Andrae, Huawei Technologies Torsten Hasforth, Dansk Energi Mads Flarup Christensen, Greenpeace Peter Münster, Facebook
This panel will shed light on how the Internet uses energy, how much it is estimated for, how some actors are trying to do something, while others are not, how researchers tries to find new technologies that can reduce energy consumption, how users can influence development, and what kind of energy the internet uses and what kind it maybe should be using in the future. The panel will discuss what measures are needed to make the internet sustainable. Can the internet help reduce our overall climate impact by, for example, reducing travel expenses? Should internet users seize themselves, should an internet tax be introduced, must industry be committed to energy-efficient solutions in their future designs? Is this a hindrance to our competitiveness or an advantage? Should public insti-tutions lead the way and only choose energy-efficient IT solutions?
KLIMAFORANDRING I DANSKE NYHEDSMEDIER (IN DANISH)Chair: Mikkel Fugl Eskjær, Aalborg University Jakob Nielsen, Altinget.dk Adam Hannestad, Politiken John Nordbo, CARE Danmark
How are news media covering climate change? This panel looks at the development of cli-mate change reporting since COP15, tracing patterns and barriers to how and why news media engage with climate change. The panel consists of representatives from legacy media, digital media and NGOs.

THE POTENTIAL OF NEW RENEWABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES Chair: Peter Christian Kjærgaard Vesborg, Technical University of Denmark Kenneth Bernard Karlsson, Technical University of Denmark Brian Vad Mathiesen, Aalborg University Hans Chr. Sørensen, Wave Dragon
This panel will discuss the potential for future renewable energy technologies. There will be a discussion of solar energy, electro-fuels and the current energy situation in Denmark. The panel will answer the following questions: what are the potentials within the different technologies, and how do we change the energy system to be 100% renewable?
POLITICS OF SUSTAINABLE AND RESPONSIBLE TECHNOLOGYChair: Lars Botin, Aalborg University Rasmus Haarløv, Aalborg University
This panel will discuss the overall meaning and ontology of the politics of technology. Technology has a political meaning, sense and voice that has to be considered (the ques-tion concerning responsibility), when it comes to decision-making in relation to sustainable technological innovations and solutions. Technology’s interdependent political and ethical impact on emergent and wicked problems in a globalized world cannot be underestimated, and even though not being determinant, technology is and will be our destiny in a world of complexity.
The panel will present possible and potential arenas for appropriate, responsible and sustainable dealings with technology as an active player/combatant in the ‘war’ against fatalism and short-termed technological fixes.
CLIMATE CHANGE AND POLITICAL PHILOSOPHYChair: Theresa Scavenius, Aalborg University Kasper Lippert-Rasmussen, Aarhus University Simon Caney, University of Warwick Bjørn Bedsted, Danish Board of Technology
Scholars of political philosophy have for two-three decades investigated the complex rela-
tions between the challenges related to democracy, global inequality and climate change. The ‘yellow vest’ movement in France demonstrated the urgency of understanding the interconnections of our societies’ problems. We will discuss, among other issues, what the boundaries of climate politics is and should be.
NEW ENERGY SOLUTIONS TO MAKE THE COMING DECADE COUNTChair: Henrik Bach Mortensen, Aalborg University & Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy Peter Esmann, Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy
This session is an interview with the product manager for Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy’s newest turbine, the SG 10-193 DD. The session explores potential opportunities and bottlenecks with regards to an accelerated wind energy build-out, to get an industrial actor view on the opportunities that exist beyond supplying the electricity sector. One of the specific sectors coupling solutions to be discussed is how wind power can be used to produce electrofuels to decarbonize heavy transportation such as shipping and trucks
A COHERENT TRANSPORT SYSTEM FOR GREATER COPENHAGEN 2050Chair: Andrés Felipe Valderrama Pineda, Aalborg University Birgitte Hoffmann, Aalborg University Joe Jensen, The Capital Region of Denmark
This panel discusses the desired futures for Greater Copenhagen (Capital Region and Sjælland Region in Denmark and Region Skåne in Sweden) looking forward to 2050. What are the visions and ambitions of the radical transformations needed for the next three decades? How to deal with long term planning and changes? What does this transi-tion require in terms of inter-sectorial coordination?

CULTURAL VISIONS: NEGOTIATING CLIMATE CHANGE IN ART AND POPULAR CULTUREChair: Mikkel Fugl Eskjær, Aalborg University Gregers Andersen, Stockholm University Torsten Bøgh Thomsen, University of Southern Denmark Ida Bencke, Laboratory for Aesthetics and Ecology
Cultural representations of climate change not only generate attention to global warming outside the fields of science and politics, but also provide important material for people to imagine nature and social realities in a world marked by climatic changes. The panel discusses the contributions from popular culture, literature, poetry and the visual arts in expanding cultural understandings of climate change.
DISTRICT HEATING AND WASTE INCINERATION: BREAKING THE LOCK-IN IN AN ERA OF CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND DECARBONIZATION Chair: Nis Bertelsen, Aalborg University Michael Søgaard Jørgensen, Aalborg University Susana Paardekooper, Aalborg University
Heating accounts for a significant share of the energy consumption in Denmark and Europe. Research projects such as Heat Roadmap Europe has shown the potentials for district heating for utilizing excess heat sources for supply and energy efficiency in de-mand to reach low-emission heat supply. Waste heat sources are available and under-uti-lized on a European scale, while waste incineration have been an integral part of district heating supply in Denmark for many years. However, the future of waste incineration in district heating needs to be adjusted in accordance with several intersecting trends such as increased focus on circular economy with pro-longed product life-time and recycling of materials and increased focus on decarbonization of district heating by using renewable energy.
This panel will explore strategies for breaking the lock-in of district heating to waste incineration and fossil energy sources through increased focus on circular economy and low-carbon energy sources.
HOW TO TRANSLATE KNOWLEDGE TO SOCIETYChair: The green student movement
The green student movement invites you to an open dialog with researchers and keynotes over beer or coffee. Here, it will be possible to have a chat with the researchers in an infor-mal setting and to get answers to some of the question you might have after watching all the panel discussions.
HVORDAN KAN SUPERCYKELSTIER BIDRAGE TIL MERE BÆREDYGTIG MOBILITET I GREATER COPENHAGEN? (IN DANISH) Chair: Anne Katrine Harders, Danish Architecture Center Andrés Felipe Valderrama Pineda, Aalborg University Sidsel Birk Hjuler, Supercykelstier Ninna Hedeager Olsen, Tecnical and Environmental Mayor, Municipality of Copenhagen Rasmus Haarløv, Aalborg University
For nylig blev det annonceret at en samlet investering i visionsplanen for supercykelstier vil give et årligt samfundsøkonomiske afkast på 11% svarende til 5.7 mia. kr. Dette afkast er højt sammenlignet med andre infrastrukturinvesteringer, og gennemførelse af visions- planen vil medføre store reduktioner i udledning af CO2 og luftforurening til gavn for Kø-benhavns borgere, mens antallet af sygedage forventes at blive reduceret betragteligt.
Formålet med dette panel, er at identificere barrierer for grøn omstilling af transportsekto-ren og finde frem til, hvordan vi kan øge andelen af grøn mobilitet i København og omegn.

CLIMATE AND FINANCE – ALSO A LOST DECADE?Chair: Inge Røpke, Aalborg University Erik Lundsgaarde, DIIS Frederik Lasserre, CEVEA Jarl Krausing, CONCITO
The session highlights three issues related to climate and finance: What key develop-ments have taken place in the climate finance arena since 2009 when developed coun-tries promised to mobilize significant resources for climate-friendly development? How has the changing regulation of finance in the wake of the financial crisis influenced the contribution of finance to facing the climate challenge? What are the key challenges ahead for climate finance?
EMISSIONS AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS FROM THE BUILT ENVIRONMENTChair: Michael Havbro Faber, Aalborg University Gang Liu, University of Southern Denmark Lærke Dahl Klausen, CLEAN
In this panel we put focus on the need to deal with Greenhouse gas emissions from the built environment in absolute terms, and that rather extreme changes across the best practices in and around the construction industry are required if we are to reach the objec-tive - sustainable developments.
TOURISM AND CLIMATE CHANGE – WHERE TO NEXT?Chair: Carina Ren, Aalborg University Dimitri Ioannides, Mid-Sweden University Scott Cohen, University of Surrey Szilvia Gyimóthy, Aalborg University
As tourism continues to grow, it accounts today for about 8% of the global greenhouse gas emissions. This share is only set to increase, as more people engage in tourism mobilities. In this panel, we discuss the climate change challenges posed by tourism and address the paradox of how climate changes influence travel patterns, a.o. through last chance tourism
and the exploration of the arctic frontier. Lastly, we point to future scenarios and possible solutions in imagining, planning and building low-carbon travel futures.
BÆREDYGTIGT HVERDAGSLIV I BÆREDYGTIGE BYER: MANGFOLDIGE FORBINDELSER (IN DANISH)Chair: Toke Haunstrup Christensen, Aalborg University Lars A. Engberg, Aalborg University Lykke Leonardsen, Municipality of Copenhagen Tina Unger, Lejre Municipality
I fremtidens byer skal bæredygtig byudvikling og bæredygtigt hverdagsliv tænkes sam-men, så de to dele understøtter hinanden. Dette panel fokuserer på, hvordan der kan etableres forbindelser mellem ændringer på by- og hverdagslivsniveau, som inkluderer borgerne i skabelsen af bæredygtig forandring. Begreber som samskabelse, videns-part-nerskaber og ”rich interconnections” står her centralt. Gennem oplæg fra både forsknings-verdenen og praksis i kommunerne lægges der op til diskussion.
BRIDGNING THE GAP BETWEEN ACADEMIA, BUSINESS AND THE PUBLIC SECTORChair: David S. Miller, The Climate Reality Project Peter Birch Sørensen, University of Copenhagen Daniel Sarewitz, Arizona State University
Stakeholders such as academia, businesses, investors, NGO’s and think tanks, and the public sector need to work together to solve the climate crisis. What can we learn from the model of successful collaboration that took place during the Cold War, which led to unexpected beneficial innovation (the Internet, GPS, etc.)? Is the current market-driven model for developing climate change solutions sufficient to meet the challenge? Also, how can governments and intergovernmental organizations provide leadership and incentives so stakeholders work together?

SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTION AND CONSUMPTION OF TEXTILES. WHAT IS IT, AND HOW CAN WE GET THERE?Chair: Else Skjold, Design School Kolding Lena Trend Hansen, COZE/ LauRie + ECHTE Ingun Klepp, Oslo Metropolitan University
This panel will explore perspectives of user understanding as a leverage for a more di-verse, and more sustainable fashion sector. It will discuss how increased understanding of user needs and aspirations can build new and innovative approaches in a sector currently focused on standardized and mass-produced garments”
ARCTIC: LIVING IN A CHANGING CLIMATEChair: Lucia Mortensen, Aalborg University Hans Meltofte, Aarhus University Pelle Tejsner, Aarhus University Mette Frost, WWF Zita Bak-Jensen, Aalborg University Anders Mosbech, Aarhus University
The panel explores and exemplifies impacts of climate change on the Arctic people and nature. It brings together researchers’ voices and perspectives of local people’s experi-ences on the changing life. What are the effects of climate change on Arctic biodiversity? What are the locals’ perceptions on changes and their consequences for local commu-nities and subsistence economies? And how can we manage adaptation actions in a changing Arctic? These are only few questions addressed in the panel to shed light on the last decade and future tendencies.
HOW DO WE MAKE THE GREEN TRANSITION FOR 150 KRONER A MONTH PER DANE?Chair: Anders Winther Mortensen, University of Southern Denmark Kasper Dalgas Rasmussen, University of Southern Denmark
Already today the technology exists that enables us to drop fossil fuels and make a green transition of our entire energy system including the transportation sector. The free market will solve some areas of this transition, but not all areas. In the areas where we need liquid fuels, e.g. in aviation and shipping, the sustainable liquid fuels will never become compet-itive with the fossil fuels. No matter how much research we do. Therefore political inter-vention is needed. The cost of this intervention in a Danish context is around 150 kroner a month per Dane. But how should the money be used? And can airplanes really fly on pig and cow dung?
FUTURE FOODSChair: Lars-Henrik Lau Heckmann, Danish Technological Institute Søren Bisp, SEGES Søren Bøye Olsen, University of Copenhagen
This panel discusses how we can optimise our resources, especially in the food produc-tion chain. The discussion will centre around how to make more climate friendly food and what the demands are from the consumers, the environmental and economic benefits derived from insects as food and feed, and what the future farming will look like.
