What can we achieve together in this decade to put the world on a path to a more sustainable, more prosperous future for all? Join the Nobel Prize Summit, Our Planet, Our Future, April 26-28, 2021 to become part of the solution.

View the program, which includes remarks from Johan Rockström, Beatie Wolfe, Xiye Bastida, Steven Chu, John Kerry, Anthony Fauci, Ursula Von der Leyen, the Dalai Lama, and many other distinguished presenters.

Inspired by Alfred Nobel’s belief in celebrating achievements that contribute "the greatest benefit to humankind," the Nobel Foundation, the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, and the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research/Stockholm Resilience Centre invite you to engage in an optimistic exploration of the best version of our collective future. The first Nobel Prize Summit will convene talks from Nobel laureates and conversations among experts from the science, policy, arts, and youth activist communities. It will bring together the world’s brightest and most creative thinkers to focus on three key areas critical to the future of humanity:

  • Climate Change and Biodiversity Loss
  • Reducing Inequality
  • Technologies with the Power to Transform the Way We Live and Work
Informed by lessons learned during the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is clear that solving these challenges must be guided by an inclusive vision for our shared future – one that is grounded in science and that safeguards our global commons.

This free, online summit is a global platform for the exchange of ideas and the source of change-making approaches that will engage and entertain, motivate and embolden. Special performances by world-class artists combined with opportunities for dialogue and networking sessions round out the summit experience.

The virtual auditorium is large but space is limited. Please RSVP for this unique mix of science, discussion, music, theatre, and action.
