Guidelines for paper submissions

The Summit provides an opportunity for connection, engagement and dialogue. This will be the critical focus of our online sessions. If your abstract is accepted for inclusion at the summit, you will be required to pre-record your presentation and/or provide a written paper of 1500-2000 words. This is to enable attendees to prepare and to think deeply about the subject of your paper. This will also enable us, with your permission, to create a publicly available archive of actionable climate change solutions for further sharing beyond the event.

During the paper session you will have an opportunity to provide a live 5 minute overview of your paper to highlight the critical points you wish to make. This will be followed by a brief Q & A session. Once all presenters have completed their live presentations, the Chair will facilitate a dialogue between all attendees and presenters.
