Global Outlook 2023: Bridging a fragmented world

We are coping with nearly unprecedented disruption and further challenges loom on the horizon. This year’s Global Outlook takes stock of current predicaments but also aims to provide a window into a new reality: one where we may find ways of drawing more forcefully on our values, bridge political divides and remedy the nature crisis.

Crises on multiple fronts are deepening global divisions. War in Europe, US-China rivalry, widening inequality and a nature in distress are just a few of the serious issues fragmenting the world. Can we draw upon our values to find innovative, inclusive solutions? And, what is the cost of inaction?

Prominent experts from Oslo, Rome, New Delhi, Kyiv, Stockholm and Brussels turn the spotlight on key global trends, share their perspectives on ways to mitigate disaster, tackle disruption, bridge political and social divides.

Speakers at Global Outlook 2023 include:
Sandrine Dixson-Declève, Co-President, Club of Rome
C. Raja Mohan, Senior Fellow, Asia Society Policy Institute, New Delhi, Foreign Affairs analyst and Author of book on China-India rivalry
Maryna Saprykina, Head of Ukraine’s Center for CSR Development 

Panel Discussion with Vidar Helgesen, Executive Director, Nobel Foundation, Georg Riekeles, Associate Director, European Policy Centre, Brussels and Sofie Høgestøl, Lawyer, USA Expert and Associate Professor at the University of Oslo.

Anniken Huitfeldt, Norwegian Minister of Foreign Affairs will hold the opening keynote.

​Moderator Anita Pratap, international journalist, author and documentary filmmaker
