I’m honoured and happy to be invited by the Lappeenranta University of Technology to be part of the panel discussion on Grand Challenges of Sustainability. There is much to say and I look forward a very creative discussion!
The panel concludes a MSc course on the topic focusing, such as the course, on the root causes and synergistic solutions to the grand challenges. The course is part of a LUT master program on Circular Economy, and the students have been simultaneously participating a complementary course related to the Food-Energy-Water Security Nexus.
The purpose of the panel is to draw on our expertise and insights in the issue and the contexts in practice. Sanna-Liisa Taivalmaa (Senior Adviser, Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland), John Sumelius (Professor of Agricultural Economics, University of Helsinki) and John Bairoh (Renewable Energy for Africa, Sierra Leone Organization of Finland SLOF ry) are also part of the panel.
