Speakers at the Forum presented on a broad range of topics connected to inequalities and investments during the pandemic. Resulting panel debates, conversations and audience questions underscored the need for scientific evidence-based response strategies and the centrality of business resilience for navigating out of the crisis. You can access the specific academic articles below:

Misum, Affiliate Researchers (2020). SUSTAINABILITY, COVID-19 AND STAYING FOCUSED ON THE LONGER TERM. Available online as a preprint from “Sweden Through the Crisis“, Stockholm: SIR (forthcoming). 

  • The article explores the negative consequences of social distancing, lockdowns of economies and related governmental responses to the health crisis. It argues that a more holistic picture must be kept in mind when navigating out of the crisis. It discusses two important challenges posed by the pandemic for the ongoing transition towards more sustainable markets: an increase in inequality and the abandonment of strategic investments into sustainability - which kicked off the theme of this year's forum.
