ABOUT THE CONFERENCE AND THEMES

Stockholm Resilience Centre together with the Beijer Institute of Ecological Economics and the Resilience Alliance are excited to welcome you to the Resilience2017 conference in Stockholm.

Following previous conferences since 2008, Resilience 2017 will discuss resilience as a key lens for biosphere-based sustainability science. It will refl ect back on the scientifi c progress made, and aim to set out exciting directions for research. A main focus will be on global sustainability challenges and opportunities, which today are heavily infl uenced by the speed, scale and connectivity of the Anthropocene. The conference will have fi ve main themes:

SOCIAL-ECOLOGICAL TRANSFORMATIONS FOR SUSTAINABILITYThis theme will focus on the frontier of deliberate transformations to sustainability by exploring solutions compatible with both people and planet.

CONNECTIVITY AND CROSS-SCALE DYNAMICS IN THE ANTHROPOCENEThis theme will explore global complex interactions, effects and activities that in the context of increasing biosphere-disconnect, aim to reconnect people to the planet.

MULTI-LEVEL GOVERNANCE AND BIOSPHERE STEWARDSHIPThis theme will explore how people in various contexts can strengthen the capacity of the biosphere to support human wellbeing in the face of change.

APPROACHES AND METHODS FOR UNDERSTANDING SOCIAL-ECOLOGICAL SYSTEM DYNAMICSThis theme will focus on inter- and transdisciplinary scientifi c approaches that can support research and understanding of social-ecological interactions in the Anthropocene.

CROSS-CUTTING PERSPECTIVES ON RESILIENCEThis theme will explore a number of cross-topic themes, each illustrating recent developments in resilience thinking.

PROGRAMME FORMAT

The conference consists of plenaries, theme plenaries, contributed sessions and sessions from the Open Call for abstracts. The latter will be presented in three different formats - all designed to encourage dialogue and learning:

LONG-TALK SESSIONSA long talk session consists of either three or six talks, depending on whether the session is 40 or 90 minutes long. Each presenter will give an eight minute talk followed by a joint discussion that will last for approximately 15 or 30 minutes, depending on how long the session is. All sessions are chaired by a representative of the conference organisers: Stockholm Resilience Centre, the Beijer Institute of Ecological Economics or the Resilience Alliance.

All long-talk sessions from the Open Call will take place Tuesday 22 August in rooms situated on Level 2 and 3 of the conference building (see building overview on page 17).

SPEED-TALK SESSIONS A speed talk session will in most cases consist of maximum six talks, although a few of the sessions will consist of up to 12 talks. Each presenter will give a four-minute talk. After the talks the session participants can sit down and have a deeper 15-minute conversation with one presenter. These longer sessions may last for 90 minutes and the chair can choose whether to have one or two rounds. All sessions will be chaired by a representative of the conference organisers.

All speed-talk sessions from the Open call will be on Monday afternoon 21 August in rooms situated on Level 2 and 3 of the conference building (see building overview on page 17).

POSTER TOURSAll posters have been clustered in groups of up to ten, and each poster has been given a time slot during a poster tour. During the tour each presenter will have two minutes to present her/his poster. After the presentations, there will be room for a short discussion. The poster tour will be chaired by a representative of the conference organisers.

Please note that the Poster tours will run in parallel with the Speed-talk and Long-talk sessions Monday 21 August and Tuesday 22 August. The tours will start by the doors to the balcony on Level 5 of the conference building (see building overview on page 17). A poster session mingle will also take place Tuesday 22 August at 16.15 in the same place.

PATTERNS OF THE BIOSPHERE (LOCATION: LEVEL 2)By Eric Ericson, Jesper Waldersten, Liselotte Watkins, Stina Wirsén and Guringo design studio. With Svenskt Tenn and the Beijer Institute of Ecological Economics.

”The biosphere is the thin outer layer of this planet in which life exists. We humans are part of the biosphere and completely dependent on the air, the oceans, the forests and all other ecological systems in order to survive and thrive.” This is the overarching message for this exhibition where contemporary Swedish artists have interpreted key concepts and insights from the transdisciplinary research of the Beijer Institute of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Created together with Swedish interior design company Svenskt Tenn, whose profi t goes to supporting research, the exhibition consists of four illustrations and the centrepiece is the transformation of Josef Frank’s classic cabinet into a sculpture interpreting the adaptive cycle model.

ARTS AND CULTURAL ACTIVITIES

The role of arts and culture in our fi eld of work continues to develop. Several conference sessions are dedicated to the bridging between art and science. In addition to this you will be able to explore six exhibitions in the public spaces of the conference venue. These exhibitions are collaborations between artists, scientists and the public to demonstrate a variety of social-ecological systems in the past, present and future. They capture inherently complex systems and ideas, and bring valuable insights for our understanding of these systems as well as our part in them:

IN BETWEEN SOM’ TOWN (LOCATION: LEVEL 2) By Luke Metelerkamp, Steve McDonald and Jules Mecer

Rising tensions around migration globally is placing increasing stress on refugees and other migrants living abroad, as well as the communities they support through remittance. Yet in between the mid-day shadow of high-rise apartment buildings and the fl ickering glow of worn out fl orescent strip-lights, Somali Town has become a rallying point. An informal sanctuary of the African diaspora, gathered on the southern tip of a continent. An unexpected home to those fl eeing xenophobia, resource wars, failed states and collapsing ecosystems. Those beginning to re-establish a new-normal. The mixed media collection of photography and fi lm explores Som’ Town, using food as an entry point for an exploration into memory, migration and resilience. Note: the fi lm will not be displayed at the conference. Som’ Town will, however, move to The Stockholm Act event on Wednesday evening in its entirety – including the fi lm.

RADICAL OCEAN FUTURES (LOCATION: M1, LEVEL 4)By Andrew Merrie, Simon Stålenhag and K. La Luna

Sometimes science fi ction can attract attention where scientifi c papers fall short. Stockholm Resilience Centre staff member Andrew Merrie commissioned conceptual artist Simon Stålenhag to bring a set of scenarios about the future oceans to life. Stålenhag came up with four eerie and thought-provoking images. Two of the scenarios represent more utopian visions of the future, the other two are more dystopian. They are written as speculative fi ction in different, engaging narrative styles: a travel magazine article, an obituary, the transcript of a “TED”-like talk, and a series of recovered journal entries. K. La Luna is the talented musical alter ego of Dr. Kaitlyn Rathwell, herself a sustainability scientist. K. La Luna created original musical interpretations for each of the stories about our future oceans. The collaboration with Stålenhag is part of an ongoing science-communications project called ‘Radical Ocean Futures.’ The project was fi nanced through a science communications grant from The Swedish Research Council Formas and has received extensive attention in various media.

REFLECTIONS – ON PEOPLE AND THE BIOSPHERE (LOCATION: LEVEL 5)By Lars Hall and Carl Folke

Swedish Art Director Lars Hall has taken photos from the very same spot on the island Grillskäret in the Baltic Sea over a period of 30 years. Three decades of persistence is documented here through the pictures, refl ecting diverse impressions and a changing environment. The exhibition presents a selection of these images together with texts by Stockholm Resilience Centre’s scientifi c director Carl Folke. Art photography, science and music quotes reinforce each other and refl ect resilience – the capacity to live, persist and develop with changing conditions in a globally intertwined world of humans, societies and nature. This exhibition offers a truly refl ective and beautiful way to re-connect to the biosphere and engage with the science of resilience. Carl Folke will give a guided tour of the exhibition Tuesday and Wednesday at 13.00 during the conference.

PICTURING RESILIENCE IN FOODWAYS: NORTHERN ETHIOPIA (LOCATION: LEVEL 2) By Gwendolyn Meyer

Ethiopia is associated with devastating famine and food insecurity, and at the same time, its traditional food-ways (the way people grow, process, sell and eat food) are complex connected knowledge environments.Markets are the central nodes of these food-ways. They reinforce social connectivity, link rural and urban networks and in this way foster aspects of social resilience. Markets also distribute seasonal food and provide culturally relevant food for religious occasions, strengthening cultural practices. As Ethiopia rapidly modernizes, and supermarkets link to global food chains, the ways of being embodied in these ‘vernacular’ food-ways are being reconfi gured.

NATURE / SOCIETY / ECONOMY (LOCATION: M1, LEVEL 4)By Tone Bjordam

This biosphere sculpture installation was inspired by a workshop at the SARAS Institute in Uruguay. In a group discussing icons in art and science, Stockholm Resilience Centre’s scientifi c director Carl Folke drew a diagram on a board depicting how nature can survive even if the economy and our societies collapse. But if our ecosystems, biodiversity and the climate as we know it collapses, then everything falls apart. The social and economic systems we have built cannot exist independently from the environment. Therefore, in a confl ict between these three, nature must always come fi rst.

CRAFT CORNER (LOCATION: LEVEL 3 LANDING)With Katja Malmborg & Marika Haeggman

The craft corner will provide a comfortable space where you can sit down and take a break from the sessions, engage in some handicraft, and have informal talks with peers. Material and instructions for crocheting “granny squares” will be provided for those keen to use their hands. At the end of the conference Katja and Marika will collect the squares in the aim of creating a quilt – a physical reminder of those moments and the conference.

SHIM SHAM (TUESDAY MORNING BREAK, LOCATION M1, LEVEL 4)With Steven Lade, Abigayil Blandon, Andrew Ringsmuth

The Shim Sham is an authentic jazz routine, originally a tap dance routine, now beloved to swing dancers worldwide. If you know the Shim Sham, feel free to join us!

YOGA (LOCATION: LEVEL 3 LANDING)With Michelle Dyer

Before settling into your lunch, take 15 minutes to stretch and breathe between long periods of sitting down and thinking. Get back into your body and rejuvenate your brain! Suitable for everyone. No special equipment or prior experience is needed. Clothing in which you can move freely is recommended. Begins 5 minutes into the lunch break.

FORRÓ (MONDAY MORNING BREAK, LOCATION M1, LEVEL 4)By Vivika Mäkelä and Luiz Fernando Caldeira

Forró is a Brazilian music and dance style. It originates from the rural communities living in the Sertão – the dry hinterlands of Northeastern Brazil. Traditional forró songs tell stories about rural life with all its hardships such as droughts, migration and longing for home, as well as joys such as love and folk festivals. Nowadays, forró is popular throughout Brazil and Europe, and the dance has taken infl uences from other dances. However, the cultural heritage of the Sertão is still alive in modern forró.

LINDY HOP CLASS (TUESDAY 13:00, LEFT END OF MAIN ENTRANCE, LEVEL 4)With Steven Lade, Abigayil Blandon

Come shake out your cramped conference muscles with a 30-minute introduction to lindy hop! Born in 1920s-30s New York to swinging jazz music, an infectious energy, smiles, and freedom to improvise are among lindy hop’s characteristics. And believe it or not, Stockholm is now one of the world meccas of this originally African-American dance. No partner or previous dance experience required (though a spare T-shirt may be a good idea).

VARIOUS MUSIC SESSIONS (LOCATION MORNING BREAKS M1 LEVEL 4, AFTERNOON BREAKS LEVEL 3 LANDING) With Victoria Bignet, Jonas Hentati Sundberg, Katja Malmborg, Luigi Piemontese, Lisen Schultz, My Sellberg & friends

These talents will share some of their favourites during the breaks. From the blues to Swedish folk to pop, there is something for all of us.

POP-UP EVENTS

Resilience2017 will also provide ample space for music, dance, yoga and crafts. The aim is to provide a change of mental and physical space for refl ection and new ideas. These will come in the form of pop-up events taking place during the conference breaks. Some are described below and some have preferred to keep the element of surprise. So grab your coffee and get ready!

These studios will provide you with a chance to move and step out of the conference mode, especially that of sitting. Take a few minutes to be good to yourself – it is worth it!
