This session was moderated by Dr. Julia Barrott from Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) Oxford. Speakers include Dr. Daniel Kull, World Bank; Dr. Simon Allen, University of Geneva; Sabine McCallum, United Nations Environment Programme; Dr. Graham McDowell, University of Zurich and University of Calgary; and Craig Leeson, Director of The Last Glaciers environmental documentary.
