A Global Dialogue on Natural Resources: The Sustainability Challenge, was held from 19-21 June 2000 in conjunction with Expo 2000 in Hanover, Germany. This participatory process was open to the public attending Expo 2000 and over 500 people participated. Plenary sessions were also televised.

This Global Dialogue is the first of a series of ten Global Dialogues being organized by the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) in conjunction with Expo 2000. Over 60 leading institutions from different countries are involved in the planning and realization of the Global Dialogue series. The objective of the Dialogue series is to bring together academics, political and business decision-makers and representatives from NGOs and international organizations to develop new forms of participation and dialogue specifically in the areas of health, environment and labour. Following the Dialogue series, a programme for global partnership will be set up to reach the broader public and establish a dialogue with prominent personalities from international public life.

The Global Dialogue on Natural Resources and Sustainability endeavored to address, inter alia: future resource use at the global, regional and local levels; distribution; and protection of resources that are either non-renewable or gradually renewable. Linkages were made between the Global Dialogue and on-going natural resources-related initiatives, including international conventions, regional agreements and local initiatives. The goals of this Dialogue were to: discuss best practices and options to improve use, distribution and conservation of natural resources in line with sustainability, technological efficiency and innovation so as to meet increasing demands on renewable natural resources; help define the agenda for the Earth Summit 2002; and tackle sustainable production and consumption patterns of governments, business and the public. Participants addressed the topics of ecosystems, water, energy, forests, and markets in six plenary sessions and three rounds of five simultaneous workshops. The workshops met once on Monday, 19 June and twice on Tuesday, 20 June. Wednesday, 21 June, was dedicated to three plenary sessions. Chairs and panelists rotated at each workshop and plenary session.

Chair Simon Upton (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Round Table on Sustainable Development) opened the meeting on Monday, 19 June, welcoming participants and calling for a multi-way dialogue. Noting that the sustainable development debate is bedeviled by statistics of doom and smooth statements, he stressed using the Global Dialogue for communicating with people and allowing them to internalize sustainability.

Speaking on environment, conflict and sustainable peace, Alexander Carius (Director, Ecologic Centre for International and European Environmental Research, Germany) highlighted a mining conflict where environment degradation triggered an unstable social system. He noted the institutional context and the relationship between violence, population pressure and environmental impacts and advocated coherent integration of poverty eradication, sustainable resource management, democratization and human security and, inter alia, the fostering of environmental cooperation. He underscored the success of environment policy in developing sophisticated management tools and agreements but the failure of policy integration at both national and international levels.

Tariq Banuri (SEI Senior Research Director, Boston, USA) spoke about sustainability and climate change scenarios. He reflected on the historical context of globalization and its two current trends: increasing global interdependence and the fragmentation of equality. He suggested that unsustainable development produces intergenerational inequities and stressed criteria for a transition to sustainability, including justice and fairness, equity, poverty eradication, peace, security and governance. He highlighted the use of models to understand solutions to climate change and suggested the use of efficiency, equity and sustainability.

Claude Fussler (Director of Stakeholder Relations, World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) and SEI Board Member) gave an introduction on the challenge of creating eco-efficient markets. He explored the question of market suitability and accessibility while providing long-term environmental security. As one important step in achieving this goal, he pointed out the creation of affordable goods to be offered on markets below poverty levels.

Terri L. Willard (Internet Communications Officer, International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD)) drew attention to the issue of knowledge management and its possible impacts on sustainability. She said that while knowledge management relies increasingly on electronic means, direct and personal communications are still valuable technologies. She identified explicit, implicit and tacit knowledge, encouraged diversity of and communication between knowledge systems and stressed the important role of intermediaries.

In the second part of the plenary session, panelists responded to questions by the audience. On preventing conflict, Carius stressed the key challenge of linking sustainable development and the promotion of peace. Banuri stressed the importance of long-term capacity building with a participatory approach. Fussler stressed eco-efficiency to reduce the link between consumption and negative environmental impacts. Carius emphasized ensuring that governments perceive consumption problems as political issues. On developing countries difficulties in competing with developed countries, Fussler emphasized intelligent and collaborative solutions to avoid returning to protectionism. On the role of democracy in sustainable development, panelists emphasized the importance of equity and justice, equal access to resources and information and the avoidance of technocratic control. Chair Upton noted democracys strength in addressing large ethical matters requiring broad direction but its uselessness in addressing highly detailed matters.

Five thematic workshops were held simultaneously on Monday, 19 and Tuesday, 20 June 2000. Each workshop consisted of panelists from international organizations, NGOs, corporations, governments and universities.

ECOSYSTEMS 21: A workshop on ecosystems was convened by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and World Wildlife Fund (WWF). The Monday session was chaired by Claude Martin (Director General, WWF International) and addressed global priorities and partnerships for integrated ecosystems management.

James Martin Jones (WWF-UK) gave an introduction of the Global 2000 Initiative, which aims toward a methodology for determining global conservation priorities. Drawing attention to various examples of ecosystem diversity, he said that the challenge lies in securing a broad range of ecosystems as the basis of the worlds economy. He called for conservation of specific eco-regions, which carry unique biodiversity, and unusual ecological phenomena.

Colin Rees (Team Leader, Biodiversity Global Environment Facility (GEF)) discussed the GEFs role in the field of ecosystem management and biodiversity protection. He highlighted stakeholder involvement, contextual challenge and integrated ecosystem management as the three main challenges in the pursuit of an integrated approach. He said that long-term and adaptive management approaches are needed and that to optimize benefits, synergies must be created between three GEF focal areas (climate, water, biodiversity).
