The Covid-19 pandemic has hindered the progress of all 17 Sustainable Development Goals and intensified inequities, fragilities, and unsustainable practices across the globe. While two billion people still lack access to safe drinking water and sanitation facilities, essential healthcare services are out of reach for at least 50% of the world’s population. Sadly, these are just two in a long list of examples of how far we are from achieving the 2030 Agenda.

Breakthrough integrated sustainable technological solutions are essential to get the SDGs back on track. These solutions must facilitate social inclusion, be economically feasible and affordable, and respect the boundaries of nature and our planet.

The G-STIC Rio Opening Ceremony will highlight how G-STIC co-hosts and authorities are fostering technological solutions to recover from the pandemic while envisioning a future with the achievement of the SDGs and the 2030 Agenda.

The Covid-19 pandemic has hindered the progress of all 17 Sustainable Development Goals and intensified inequities, fragilities, and unsustainable practices across the globe. While two billion people still lack access to safe drinking water and sanitation facilities, essential healthcare services are out of reach for at least 50% of the world’s population. Sadly, these are just two in a long list of examples of how far we are from achieving the 2030 Agenda.

Breakthrough integrated sustainable technological solutions are essential to get the SDGs back on track. These solutions must facilitate social inclusion, be economically feasible and affordable, and respect the boundaries of nature and our planet.

The G-STIC Rio Opening Ceremony will highlight how G-STIC co-hosts and authorities are fostering technological solutions to recover from the pandemic while envisioning a future with the achievement of the SDGs and the 2030 Agenda.

The time to act is now. The Covid-19 pandemic has exposed and amplified global inequalities, vulnerabilities, and unsustainable practices. While the world struggles with the after-effects of the pandemic, it still faces a triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution. Along with this potentially catastrophic scenario, human rights abuses continue to be a concern in many parts of the world. The alleged abuses resulting from the Russia-Ukraine war are another tragic example of this. The 2030 Agenda is more relevant than ever and there is even greater urgency for action.

Although these crises are a real threat, they also shed new light on the relevance of resilience, environmental sustainability, and inclusiveness. They represent an opportunity to press ‘reboot’ and reflect upon more equitable recovery plans. Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI) can play a crucial role in ensuring a successful transition process and the achievement of the 2030 Agenda.

The G-STIC Rio High-Level Plenary Session will examine opportunities to use STI to accelerate the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The speakers will also recommend public policies for harnessing STI to reach a more resilient, sustainable, inclusive, and nature-positive future. The discussion will focus on reimagining the future of science and innovation as a democratic, open, and public enterprise that can tackle multiple global challenges in parallel with the SDGs.

The time to act is now. The Covid-19 pandemic has exposed and amplified global inequalities, vulnerabilities, and unsustainable practices. While the world struggles with the after-effects of the pandemic, it still faces a triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution. Along with this potentially catastrophic scenario, human rights abuses continue to be a concern in many parts of the world. The alleged abuses resulting from the Russia-Ukraine war are another tragic example of this. The 2030 Agenda is more relevant than ever and there is even greater urgency for action.

Although these crises are a real threat, they also shed new light on the relevance of resilience, environmental sustainability, and inclusiveness. They represent an opportunity to press ‘reboot’ and reflect upon more equitable recovery plans. Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI) can play a crucial role in ensuring a successful transition process and the achievement of the 2030 Agenda.

The G-STIC Rio High-Level Plenary Session will examine opportunities to use STI to accelerate the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The speakers will also recommend public policies for harnessing STI to reach a more resilient, sustainable, inclusive, and nature-positive future. The discussion will focus on reimagining the future of science and innovation as a democratic, open, and public enterprise that can tackle multiple global challenges in parallel with the SDGs.

International leaders, scientists, and policymakers will present the lessons they learned about recovering from the pandemic and how to prepare for future outbreaks. They will debate the fundamental steps that must be taken to build preparedness and resilience and ensure equity and inclusiveness in the face of future healthcare crises. This includes financial planning, international cooperation, decision-making, and investments in research and development. They will discuss the following questions:

  • What are the key lessons from these three years of Covid-19?
  • What issues must be prioritized and addressed in pandemic recovery plans?
  • How to establish a pandemic recovery plan in a world fraught with inequality?
  • How to establish an inclusive global preparedness plan that enables low- and middle-income countries to provide the necessary investments in their health systems and production?
  • Which national policies should be implemented to build resilience for future health emergencies?
  • In face of a failed multilateralism system, how to rebuild trust and incentives between countries for more effective international cooperation and a coordinated preparedness plan?
  • What role can disinformation play in global health crises and how to fight disinformation?

International leaders, scientists, and policymakers will present the lessons they learned about recovering from the pandemic and how to prepare for future outbreaks. They will debate the fundamental steps that must be taken to build preparedness and resilience and ensure equity and inclusiveness in the face of future healthcare crises. This includes financial planning, international cooperation, decision-making, and investments in research and development. They will discuss the following questions:

  • What are the key lessons from these three years of Covid-19?
  • What issues must be prioritized and addressed in pandemic recovery plans?
  • How to establish a pandemic recovery plan in a world fraught with inequality?
  • How to establish an inclusive global preparedness plan that enables low- and middle-income countries to provide the necessary investments in their health systems and production?
  • Which national policies should be implemented to build resilience for future health emergencies?
  • In face of a failed multilateralism system, how to rebuild trust and incentives between countries for more effective international cooperation and a coordinated preparedness plan?
  • What role can disinformation play in global health crises and how to fight disinformation?

The World Health Organization Joint Monitoring Programme estimates that more than 700 million people, primarily from the most vulnerable and poor communities, still lack basic access to safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH). Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6.1 (universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water) and SDG 6.2 (access to adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene) were created precisely to help tackle this daunting problem.

The main bottleneck in the provision of WASH is the large capital investment needed for infrastructure, operations, and maintenance, which is why transparent financing and governance practices must go hand-in-hand in such projects. Subsidization and tariffication are two strategies currently used by some developing countries where, despite the reluctance to pay, there are clear social benefits. Ideally, effective policy making concerning WASH should be coordinated with local knowledge, especially in rural and remote areas where decentralized systems are often the only feasible solution.

Better integration of research and innovation in this field and governance decision-making remains a challenge but valuable information can be gained by sharing the lessons learned from other examples of WASH projects around the world. During this session, the panel of experts will discuss ways to achieve universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water (SDG 6.1) and access to adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene for all (SDG 6.2). They will look at the possibilities to provide a platform for youth representatives to highlight the human right to access WASH and propose strategies for international cooperation and partnerships to accelerate the realization of SDG 6.

The World Health Organization Joint Monitoring Programme estimates that more than 700 million people, primarily from the most vulnerable and poor communities, still lack basic access to safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH). Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6.1 (universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water) and SDG 6.2 (access to adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene) were created precisely to help tackle this daunting problem.

The main bottleneck in the provision of WASH is the large capital investment needed for infrastructure, operations, and maintenance, which is why transparent financing and governance practices must go hand-in-hand in such projects. Subsidization and tariffication are two strategies currently used by some developing countries where, despite the reluctance to pay, there are clear social benefits. Ideally, effective policy making concerning WASH should be coordinated with local knowledge, especially in rural and remote areas where decentralized systems are often the only feasible solution.

Better integration of research and innovation in this field and governance decision-making remains a challenge but valuable information can be gained by sharing the lessons learned from other examples of WASH projects around the world. During this session, the panel of experts will discuss ways to achieve universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water (SDG 6.1) and access to adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene for all (SDG 6.2). They will look at the possibilities to provide a platform for youth representatives to highlight the human right to access WASH and propose strategies for international cooperation and partnerships to accelerate the realization of SDG 6.

Human-induced climate change is a consequence of more than a century of net GHG emissions from unsustainable energy use, land use, lifestyle, and patterns of consumption and production. Without urgent, effective, and equitable mitigation actions, climate change will increasingly threaten the health and livelihoods of people, ecosystems, and biodiversity around the globe. There are both synergies and trade-offs between climate action and the pursuit of other SDGs.

Carbon neutrality largely depends on technological transformations in the energy sector. The growth of renewable capacity is forecast to accelerate in the next five years, accounting for almost 95% of the increase in global power capacity through 2026. Globally, renewable electricity generation is forecast to increase by over 60% between 2020 and 2026, reaching more than 4800GW.

This session will present insights on global carbon neutrality, including the main technology pathways to achieve efficiency and carbon neutrality targets and the challenges that have to be overcome. The speakers will also use their expertise to suggest three key actionable areas for technology innovation upscaling for sustainable energy.

Human-induced climate change is a consequence of more than a century of net GHG emissions from unsustainable energy use, land use, lifestyle, and patterns of consumption and production. Without urgent, effective, and equitable mitigation actions, climate change will increasingly threaten the health and livelihoods of people, ecosystems, and biodiversity around the globe. There are both synergies and trade-offs between climate action and the pursuit of other SDGs.

Carbon neutrality largely depends on technological transformations in the energy sector. The growth of renewable capacity is forecast to accelerate in the next five years, accounting for almost 95% of the increase in global power capacity through 2026. Globally, renewable electricity generation is forecast to increase by over 60% between 2020 and 2026, reaching more than 4800GW.

This session will present insights on global carbon neutrality, including the main technology pathways to achieve efficiency and carbon neutrality targets and the challenges that have to be overcome. The speakers will also use their expertise to suggest three key actionable areas for technology innovation upscaling for sustainable energy.

The bioeconomy, or biobased economy, is a new model for industry and the economy that involves using renewable biological resources sustainably to produce food, energy and industrial goods. It also exploits the untapped potential stored within millions of tons of biological waste and residual materials. The transition from a fossil fuel-based to a biobased economy should reduce our dependency on fossil fuels, make the economy more sustainable, and contribute to climate and environmental protection. The bio-economy is lies at the heart of the European Green Deal, but is applicable anywhere in the world.

In September 2021, the World Bio-Economy Forum in Belém, Brazil, focused on the use of bioproducts as well as the regeneration of the Amazon and the socio-economic development of its indigenous people. As a follow up of the Belém event, there will be a special panel to discuss the socio-economic valorization of Amazonia bioproducts.

The panel will pay particular attention to social and economic development of the Amazon’s indigenous people and ecological conservation of its biodiversity.

The bioeconomy, or biobased economy, is a new model for industry and the economy that involves using renewable biological resources sustainably to produce food, energy and industrial goods. It also exploits the untapped potential stored within millions of tons of biological waste and residual materials. The transition from a fossil fuel-based to a biobased economy should reduce our dependency on fossil fuels, make the economy more sustainable, and contribute to climate and environmental protection. The bio-economy is lies at the heart of the European Green Deal, but is applicable anywhere in the world.

In September 2021, the World Bio-Economy Forum in Belém, Brazil, focused on the use of bioproducts as well as the regeneration of the Amazon and the socio-economic development of its indigenous people. As a follow up of the Belém event, there will be a special panel to discuss the socio-economic valorization of Amazonia bioproducts.

The panel will pay particular attention to social and economic development of the Amazon’s indigenous people and ecological conservation of its biodiversity.

We are not making enough progress on the 17 SDGs. If we are serious about reaching the SDGs by 2030, we need urgent, scalable multi-stakeholder action to accelerate progress. Companies have an essential role to play in the ending poverty, including strategies to improve health, education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth, while tackling climate change and working to preserve oceans and forests.

Established in 2000, the UN Global Compact is the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative and a global movement of more than 12,000 businesses and 3,000 non-business stakeholders across 160 countries. The underlying notion of the UN Global Compact is that corporate sustainability starts with a principles-based approach to doing business that aims to improve livelihoods, respect fundamental rights, and accelerate the SDGs. By doing this, companies are not only upholding their basic responsibilities to people and the planet, but also setting the stage for long-term success.

This session will present some of the actions taken by signatories of the UN Global Compact and show how they are aligned with country-level priorities to improve living standards and the environment. It will reveal that as a result of the pandemic, greater ambition and higher engagement with the UN Global Compact Ten Principles are needed if we are to accelerate progress towards the SDGs. A review of companies in different sectors will illustrate some positive actions, including how investments in science, technology, and innovation can be used to mitigate impacts and promote social, environmental, and economic improvements.

It will reveal that as a result of the pandemic, greater ambition and higher engagement with the UN Global Compact Ten Principles are needed if we are to accelerate progress towards the SDGs. A review of companies in different sectors will illustrate some positive actions, including how investments in science, technology, and innovation can be used to mitigate impacts and promote social, environmental, and economic improvements.

We are not making enough progress on the 17 SDGs. If we are serious about reaching the SDGs by 2030, we need urgent, scalable multi-stakeholder action to accelerate progress. Companies have an essential role to play in the ending poverty, including strategies to improve health, education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth, while tackling climate change and working to preserve oceans and forests.

Established in 2000, the UN Global Compact is the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative and a global movement of more than 12,000 businesses and 3,000 non-business stakeholders across 160 countries. The underlying notion of the UN Global Compact is that corporate sustainability starts with a principles-based approach to doing business that aims to improve livelihoods, respect fundamental rights, and accelerate the SDGs. By doing this, companies are not only upholding their basic responsibilities to people and the planet, but also setting the stage for long-term success.

This session will present some of the actions taken by signatories of the UN Global Compact and show how they are aligned with country-level priorities to improve living standards and the environment.

The water-energy-food (WEF) nexus, also frequently referred as WEFE (water-food-energy-ecosystems), addresses the complex interlinkages across water, food and energy, highlighting its role in sustainable development.

The WEF nexus tackles long-term sustainability by finding compromises to often-competing interests, while simultaneously respecting the integrity of ecosystems. The main challenge within the WEF nexus is the connection between food and water provision powered by sustainable energy. Water use requires energy (for example, abstraction of water for irrigation, wastewater treatment, distribution of drinking water, desalination), therefore optimizing water use has the potential to reduce the energy demand. On the other hand, energy production needs water, especially where biofuels are concerned. Water is also used for cooling processes in thermal power generation, which accounts for the highest water consumption within the energy sector. Reducing water losses, and using renewable energy to decrease greenhouse gas emissions, can lead to improved food security.

During this session, the panel of experts will discuss the importance of water as the connection between food and energy and how to leverage water during the transition to renewable energy. They will also focus on ways to make the energy sector water-proof and the water sector energy-proof, as well as the connection between water and food security through agriculture.

During this session, the panel of experts will discuss the importance of water as the connection between food and energy and how to leverage water during the transition to renewable energy. They will also focus on ways to make the energy sector water-proof and the water sector energy-proof, as well as the connection between water and food security through agriculture.

The water-energy-food (WEF) nexus, also frequently referred as WEFE (water-food-energy-ecosystems), addresses the complex interlinkages across water, food and energy, highlighting its role in sustainable development.

The WEF nexus tackles long-term sustainability by finding compromises to often-competing interests, while simultaneously respecting the integrity of ecosystems. The main challenge within the WEF nexus is the connection between food and water provision powered by sustainable energy. Water use requires energy (for example, abstraction of water for irrigation, wastewater treatment, distribution of drinking water, desalination), therefore optimizing water use has the potential to reduce the energy demand. On the other hand, energy production needs water, especially where biofuels are concerned. Water is also used for cooling processes in thermal power generation, which accounts for the highest water consumption within the energy sector. Reducing water losses, and using renewable energy to decrease greenhouse gas emissions, can lead to improved food security.

During this session, the panel of experts will discuss the importance of water as the connection between food and energy and how to leverage water during the transition to renewable energy. They will also focus on ways to make the energy sector water-proof and the water sector energy-proof, as well as the connection between water and food security through agriculture.

Life expectancy has increased considerably over the last two centuries. However, the unsustainable development model that facilitated this progress has a devastating impact on the Earth’s natural systems. Climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution are pushing the Earth beyond its limits and represent a major threat to planetary health and everything it supports.

There is a direct correlation between healthy ecosystems and healthy human communities. The damage we are causing to the planet, combined with increasing inequalities and poverty, is leading to an increase in climate-related deaths, non-communicable, infectious, and respiratory diseases, as well as malnutrition in all its forms, with severe consequences on mental health and wellbeing.

The speakers will highlight the current threats to human health, threats to the sustainability of the planet, and threats to the natural and human-made systems that support us. They will then discuss how to use integrated solutions to respond to the effects of environmental drivers of disease outbreaks and disease control strategies.

Life expectancy has increased considerably over the last two centuries. However, the unsustainable development model that facilitated this progress has a devastating impact on the Earth’s natural systems. Climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution are pushing the Earth beyond its limits and represent a major threat to planetary health and everything it supports.

There is a direct correlation between healthy ecosystems and healthy human communities. The damage we are causing to the planet, combined with increasing inequalities and poverty, is leading to an increase in climate-related deaths, non-communicable, infectious, and respiratory diseases, as well as malnutrition in all its forms, with severe consequences on mental health and wellbeing.

The speakers will highlight the current threats to human health, threats to the sustainability of the planet, and threats to the natural and human-made systems that support us. They will then discuss how to use integrated solutions to respond to the effects of environmental drivers of disease outbreaks and disease control strategies.

The Covid-19 pandemic demonstrated an urgent need for effective international health surveillance systems. At the moment, most health surveillance systems only operate locally or nationally. An integrated and multi-disciplinary surveillance system, focused on data sharing between countries and a global intelligence network for disease control, will be an essential first step to preparing and responding to new outbreaks.

Community-based citizen science can make substantial contributions to building effective health surveillance systems. Community members can provide valuable updated information that helps identify problems, prioritize local solutions, and mobilize support and advocacy. Empowering communities through access to information and training is an important step toward this goal.

Creating a global surveillance system is highly complex. On the one hand, it must incorporate environmental and animal components into health assessment – the One Health approach. This includes multi-disciplinary efforts to understand the interactions between the oceans, air, freshwater, biodiversity, climate, and many other factors that influence human health and well-being.

On the other hand, there are tricky administrative and procedural concerns that need to be considered. The launch of the World Health Organization (WHO) Hub for Pandemic and Epidemic Intelligence was a good start. Among other important questions, the Hub aims to address issues such as how to foster a trustful global network of collaboration; how to ensure technology transfer and development in low-income countries, how to establish continuous technical guidance and training between countries, and how to standardize and interpret data collection from different sources.

The speakers will discuss the challenges and potential solutions to developing local and global health surveillance systems.

The Covid-19 pandemic demonstrated an urgent need for effective international health surveillance systems. At the moment, most health surveillance systems only operate locally or nationally. An integrated and multi-disciplinary surveillance system, focused on data sharing between countries and a global intelligence network for disease control, will be an essential first step to preparing and responding to new outbreaks.

Community-based citizen science can make substantial contributions to building effective health surveillance systems. Community members can provide valuable updated information that helps identify problems, prioritize local solutions, and mobilize support and advocacy. Empowering communities through access to information and training is an important step toward this goal.

Creating a global surveillance system is highly complex. On the one hand, it must incorporate environmental and animal components into health assessment – the One Health approach. This includes multi-disciplinary efforts to understand the interactions between the oceans, air, freshwater, biodiversity, climate, and many other factors that influence human health and well-being.

On the other hand, there are tricky administrative and procedural concerns that need to be considered. The launch of the World Health Organization (WHO) Hub for Pandemic and Epidemic Intelligence was a good start. Among other important questions, the Hub aims to address issues such as how to foster a trustful global network of collaboration; how to ensure technology transfer and development in low-income countries, how to establish continuous technical guidance and training between countries, and how to standardize and interpret data collection from different sources.

The speakers will discuss the challenges and potential solutions to developing local and global health surveillance systems.

Earth observation and geospatial information have already proven to be of great value to society. They have been used for weather forecasting, disaster prevention and mitigation and environmental monitoring. They have proved invaluable in the context of responses to humanitarian emergencies, humanitarian response, land degradation, food security, and urban growth. All of these use cases have contributed directly or indirectly to the exploration of innovative and transformative paths to ensure the achievement of the SDGs.

There have been substantial investments in space infrastructure and satellite data tools in recent years that provide free, open, and comparable long series data streams. All these assets are available and could be readily deployed to make sure that there is a coherent and comprehensive Global Indicator Framework that could in turn be used as a monitoring and reporting system that is accessible to all nations.

During this deep dive session, we will focus on the role of satellite Earth observation and how its spatial and temporal coverage, combined with geospatial information, in situ observations and socioeconomic data can make the 2030 Agenda monitoring and reporting framework both technically and financially viable.

Science, technology, innovation, and innovative social change processes are central to achieving the SDGs and a building a socially and ecologically sustainable world. The predominant paths for innovation today exclude significant numbers of people from the benefits of technological and social progress. They also largely produce economic, environmental, and social impacts that disproportionately affect the most vulnerable groups. We urgently need solutions to transform the production and consumption processes that not only solve local issues, but serve as processes of social and technological change that can be appropriated, replicated, or adapted in other regions.

Social technology, which uses all available knowledge and digital tools to in pursuit of the SDGs, is appropriate for this. Social Technologies provide a cross-sector approach to identifying and tackling the foremost challenges facing humanity: inequality, poverty, hunger, and the democratization of access to energy, employment, education, and healthcare.

The session will address social innovation as the link between different forms of innovation, in which the fields of emerging technologies, traditional knowledge, organizational innovation, social practices, and public policies interact for a common purpose.

China was once the world’s biggest importer of plastic waste for reprocessing. That was up until the end of 2017, when the Chinese government decided to ban the import of plastic waste. This decision had a major impact on worldwide plastic waste management and forced governments, especially those in Europe and the United States, to rethink their approaches.

Europe has led the way on this, with the EU providing the funding, together with private enterprises, to foster the development and implementation of innovative collection, sorting and recycling technologies. Subsequently, the EU has rapidly increased its recycling capacity over the last five years. This is an important step in the development of a circular economy, which requires the input of recycled materials that are of good enough quality to be fully substituted for primary, fossil resources.

Efficiently producing high-grade, economically viable, industrial feedstock from plastic waste is challenging. It relies on customized, performant technologies in all steps of the production process, including waste collection, sorting, recycling, storage, dismantling, and transportation. Unlike the virgin plastic production system, the worldwide plastic waste recycling system is composed of poorly connected, geographically dispersed processing facilities. Therefore, the production from waste plastics of a significant supply of secondary raw materials of use in a circular economy will only become a reality through stakeholder collaboration on a global scale.

China was once the world’s biggest importer of plastic waste for reprocessing. That was up until the end of 2017, when the Chinese government decided to ban the import of plastic waste. This decision had a major impact on worldwide plastic waste management and forced governments, especially those in Europe and the United States, to rethink their approaches.

Europe has led the way on this, with the EU providing the funding, together with private enterprises, to foster the development and implementation of innovative collection, sorting and recycling technologies. Subsequently, the EU has rapidly increased its recycling capacity over the last five years. This is an important step in the development of a circular economy, which requires the input of recycled materials that are of good enough quality to be fully substituted for primary, fossil resources.

Efficiently producing high-grade, economically viable, industrial feedstock from plastic waste is challenging. It relies on customized, performant technologies in all steps of the production process, including waste collection, sorting, recycling, storage, dismantling, and transportation. Unlike the virgin plastic production system, the worldwide plastic waste recycling system is composed of poorly connected, geographically dispersed processing facilities. Therefore, the production from waste plastics of a significant supply of secondary raw materials of use in a circular economy will only become a reality through stakeholder collaboration on a global scale.

We are currently living in the “trembling twenties,” facing enormous challenges such as climate change and loss of biodiversity. At the same time, we are witnessing the rapid evolution of digital technology. In this context, how can artists contribute to a more sustainable world?

The European project S+T+ARTS aims to bridge the gap between artists and researchers, working together to find innovative solutions to help make our world more sustainable and beautiful. Selected artworks of Christophe De Jaeger dealing with artificial intelligence, climate and culture will be presented.

The compelling Glacier Trilogy by Theresa Schubert focuses on glaciers and the melting of glaciers as starting points of fluvial systems. Glaciers hold an extreme importance not only as storages of water but also as a memory of the earth’s past and as indicators of climate change. Glacier ice archives millennia-old (an)organic information, such as microorganisms, pollen, and atmospheric dust, allowing scientists to acquire knowledge about ancient ecosystems and to predict future climate change.

Theresa Schubert developed an AI-based video that displays slowly emerging and dissolving synthetic mountain landscapes with glaciers. The work functions as a kind of machine dream of the future that tries to imagine what glaciers looked like in former times.

The project is based on found footage sourced in Italian archives, ranging from photographic images of Alpine glaciers dating from 1860 to handwritten field notes and sketches in notebooks dating back to 1920-1950 by Italian geologist Ardito Desio.

The collected data nourished different machine learning models, which transformed the material into a mesmerizing aesthetic collage, revealing the glaciers in a new poetic way. The sound composition consists of spoken noted from Ardito Desio and a multi-layered voice of an opera singer improvising to the seen imagery.

We are currently living in the “trembling twenties,” facing enormous challenges such as climate change and loss of biodiversity. At the same time, we are witnessing the rapid evolution of digital technology. In this context, how can artists contribute to a more sustainable world?

The European project S+T+ARTS aims to bridge the gap between artists and researchers, working together to find innovative solutions to help make our world more sustainable and beautiful. Selected artworks of Christophe De Jaeger dealing with artificial intelligence, climate and culture will be presented.

The compelling Glacier Trilogy by Theresa Schubert focuses on glaciers and the melting of glaciers as starting points of fluvial systems. Glaciers hold an extreme importance not only as storages of water but also as a memory of the earth’s past and as indicators of climate change. Glacier ice archives millennia-old (an)organic information, such as microorganisms, pollen, and atmospheric dust, allowing scientists to acquire knowledge about ancient ecosystems and to predict future climate change.

Theresa Schubert developed an AI-based video that displays slowly emerging and dissolving synthetic mountain landscapes with glaciers. The work functions as a kind of machine dream of the future that tries to imagine what glaciers looked like in former times.

The project is based on found footage sourced in Italian archives, ranging from photographic images of Alpine glaciers dating from 1860 to handwritten field notes and sketches in notebooks dating back to 1920-1950 by Italian geologist Ardito Desio.

The collected data nourished different machine learning models, which transformed the material into a mesmerizing aesthetic collage, revealing the glaciers in a new poetic way. The sound composition consists of spoken noted from Ardito Desio and a multi-layered voice of an opera singer improvising to the seen imagery.
