Contributors and audiences will sit together and workshop ideas for «a way forward». Based on discussions in the two previous sessions of that track, they will identify maximum three (!) key points (i.e. future tasks, solutions, challenges and/or opportunities) for creating new arenas to productively engage with conflict in cities. These points will be presented in the subsequent panel debate, and they will also be summed up at Storbykonferansen.no (watch this page!)

13:00 – 14:30: Panel debate: The democratic consequenses of climate mitigation.
The panel debate will be led by professor Per Martin Norheim-Martinsen, Vice Rector R&D OsloMet.
We want to know:
- What are the democratic consequenses of climate mitigation – more or less democracy?
- To what extent can climate mitigation contribute to the development of democracy? And how does climate mitigation challenge democracies?
- Do climate activists expand the meaning of democracy? Do they promote legitamate solutions to climate challenges?
- Are the burdens of climate mitigation distributed fairly?
The panelists are:
- Jon Naustdalslid – Researcher and author
- Trond Vedeld – Reseracher (NIBR)
- Sigrid Heiberg – The Green Party (Miljøpartiet De Grønne)
- Sveinung Rotevatn – The Liberal Party (Venstre)
- Jonas Kittelsen – Extinction Rebellion Norway
