What is Talanoa?
Talanoa is a traditional Fijian word used to reflect an inclusive, participatory and transparent process of dialogue. Talanoa involves sharing ideas, skills and experiences through storytelling. Once these elements are established, the aim is to create a safe space that embraces mutual respect through a platform for decision-making for the greater good.
The event
It is inspired by this dialogue process that the Brazilian Business Council for Sustainable Development (CEBDS), in partnership with the World Bank Group, will hold the Talanoa Dialogue, on October 19, for an exchange of knowledge on climate change. The meeting will be held in co-organization with the Museum of Tomorrow and the Institute of Development and Management (IDG).
Schedule
O Talanoa Dialogue will present the Special Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) on 1.5°C Global Warming scenarios, followed by dialogue panels. One of the highlights is the participation of Paulo Artaxo, IPCC member, full professor at the Physics Institute of USP and member of the coordination team of the FAPESP Research Program on Global Climate Change (PFPMCG).
The main purpose of the Talanoa Dialogue is to seek understanding about how large companies have been contributing to compliance with the Paris Agreement, in addition to guiding the focus on society's role in combating climate change.
