  21. “This conference is of great importance for Rio+20 and the whole sequence of international cooperation necessary to turn world affairs in a sustainable direction - with the next 10 years a crucial period.”

  22. Bo Kjellen, Lars Goran Engfeldt • “Complete lack of urgency”. • International agendas must come together – UNFCCC, MDGs, Rio+20. • Science has a role to communicate many interconnected challenges not isolated challenges. • Industry has “no confidence” in international political process. • The media plays a very important role in developing political momentum. It is important science community triggers debates in the media. • There is a “tragic leadership deficit in the world”. • The links between ICSU and national governments at a very senior level are very important. • The international science community is free from the kind of political constraints that hampers UN.

  23. ICSU vision “Humanity has reached a point in history at which a prerequisite for development – the continued functioning of the Earth system as we know it – is at risk.”

  24. Media • Reflects public opinion • Informs public opinion • Influences the understanding of the science by the public and policymakers • Influences policy makers’ priorities

  25. Positive message I HAVE A NIGHTMARE! A vision for 2050 Giant leap for humanity Yes we can

  26. Communications • Developing a strategy • Budget • Key editorials • World Conference of Science Journalists • Raise funding for developing-country journalists (package with Rio+20) • Side event moderator Andy Revkin, New York Times • BBC pitching session • Visualisation experts
