Shaping The World We Need. Together.
Welcome to the Sun Valley Forum!
We’ve missed connection, inspiration and having the chance to spark new partnerships and strategies, and look forward to a wonderful few days together.
We gather when the devastating war on Ukraine, the pandemic, and the already visible harms from climate change have surfaced the dangerous consequences of our unsustainable, inequitable and insecure world. We are called to take action.
Powered by an ambitious, courageous and compassionate community of participants, the Sun Valley Forum has a record of catalyzing and accelerating impact. We will leverage the Forum to activate solutions for right now and for the rest of this Decisive Decade and beyond. Gathering diverse perspectives from near and far and across generations, we will rapidly grow resilience for all communities and economies, holding each other accountable for the ambition and results of our collective action.
We are pleased to present our 2022 program for us to go far, fast, together.

SUNDAY JUNE 5, 2022
5-7:30PM: YOUTH V. GOV @ SILVER CREEK ROOM, LIMELIGHT HOTEL; FREE PUBLIC FILM SCREENING
Vic Barrett, Kelsey Juliana; Christi Cooper, Director, Producer, Writer; Olivia Ahnemann, Producer
YOUTH v GOV is the story of the Juliana v. The United States of America constitutional lawsuit and the 21 American youth, ages 14 to 25, who are taking on the world’s most powerful government. Since 2015, the legal non-profit Our Children’s Trust, has been representing these youth in their landmark case against the U.S. government for violating their constitutional rights to life, liberty, personal safety, and property through their willful actions in creating the climate crisis they will inherit.
As leaders in the youth climate movement, the twenty-one plaintiffs of Juliana v. The United States of America represent the diversity of American youth impacted by the climate crisis. They hail from 10 states: Florida, Alaska, Hawaii, Colorado, Oregon, Washington, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Louisiana, and New York. These film characters encompass cultural, economic and geographic diversity and many come from marginalized communities, serving as beacons of hope for those who do not have a platform to share their own stories. They are African-American, Indigenous, white, bi-racial, and LGBTQ, and their diversity speaks not only to the impacts of climate change, but to the inclusion required if we are to build a better and more just future together. These young people are activists, students, artists, musicians, and farmers, and their stories are universal.
Q&A following with the Director, Producer and two of the youth litigants

Cattle have been seen as eco-villains for a long time. What if they can help save us from catastrophic climate change?
Join us for a sneak peek at Episode 1 of the series.

8:30AM: FORUM DAY TWO @ ARGYROS PERFORMING ARTS CENTER TIERNEY THEATER
Aimée Christensen, Founder, Sun Valley Forum with Tyler Norris, Chief Executive, Well Being Trust
8:40AM: THE URGENCY OF NOW: STRATEGIC CLIMATE INTERVENTIONS AT SCALE
Hosted by the Chief Climate Officer of the U.S. Agency for International Development, this session will provide an overview of the climate solutions required to drive action in the decisive decade to come - with attention on the need for substantial increases in climate finance from the public and private sectors and where we need to focus our efforts. The panel, moderated by USAID Chief Climate Officer Gillian Caldwell, will also feature a call to action for the conference participants and includes speakers from the field, the private sector, and government.

9:30AM: SPARK TALK: HOW WE MEASURE CLIMATE RISK AND OPPORTUNITY
How is one innovative risk management company tackling the multi-faceted challenge of measuring and managing climate financial risk and opportunity? Hear Dr. Dembo describe the scale of the technical challenge and how his company, riskthinking.AI, has built a platform that can measure risk and opportunity anywhere in the world, for any asset class, across any future time horizon.
Ron Dembo, CEO & Founder, riskthinking.AI
9:40AM: BUILDING THE WORLD WE NEED: TRANSFORMING ENERGY
Due to rapidly falling prices of clean energy and the demand for climate smart energy systems that are clean and secure in the face of disasters, the world has been rapidly shifting to more localized, cleaner, and more resilient energy systems. Solar photovoltaics is the fastest growing source of energy with 139 GW of global capacity added in 2020, and many nations - and auto companies - have announced the end of the internal combustion engine. The war on Ukraine has wrought devastation on the people and places of that nation. It has also brought new life to the oil industry, which has recently announced the development of assets that previously were unattractive due to low oil prices, but are now moving forward with new infrastructure that may lock in another 20-30 years of production and associated greenhouse gas emissions. Hear from public sector policymakers and from private sector innovators, energy developers and advocates about how we can accelerate the transition to a clean, resilient energy future, to electric transportation, to electric homes and buildings, and to clean, safe and secure sources of energy, with the solutions that are working and how we can replicate and scale them around the world.

11:15AM: BUILDING THE WORLD WE NEED: TRANSFORMING FOOD AND AGRICULTURE
The pandemic and the war on Ukraine have brought into stark relief both the vulnerability of the industrialized, centralized and globalized food and agricultural systems as well as its threats to health, security and our climate. By transforming these sectors to be more localized, resource efficient, and climate-smart, food and agriculture can be powerful contributors to resilience and prosperity in economies and communities. From rural regions in the United States and emerging markets to urban centers, food and agriculture can be an engine for opportunity. Hear from the innovators, experts and leaders who are transforming our food system for health, security and our climate – and better tasting food!

11:15AM FINANCIAL RISK AND RESILIENCE, RETURNS AND OPPORTUNITY: HOW DATA, ESG, AND POLICIES ARE GUIDING CAPITAL AND ASSET MANAGEMENT IN A TIME OF CLIMATE CHANGE
Global policymakers, insurers and investors are increasingly recognizing the vast risks from climate change and are changing regulations and insurance and asset management strategies as a result. It is estimated that ten of 2021's most extreme weather events caused a total of $170.3 billion in damage globally. Earlier this year, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission announced new rules requiring corporations to disclose climate risk so that investors have the information they need. At the same time, over $170 trillion in assets have committed to “net zero” investing by 2050 to align with the Paris climate agreement and leverage strategic investment opportunities. Join experts from insurance, regulation and investment to hear what this means for the economy, for businesses, and for all of us.

2:00PM: SPARK TALK: CASE FOR ACCELERATING CLIMATE ACTION THROUGH EMPOWERMENT
There is an urgent need for an all-of-society mobilization for just and equitable climate solutions across this country. However, making the case for climate action and building the capacity and workforce to implement it are challenges that are limiting our climate ambition. This talk will explore why an all-of-society climate action infrastructure is needed and what it might look like. Join Frank Niepold in this Spark Talk to hear how climate empowerment can provide an urgently-needed “middle-out” strategy to accelerate climate action.

2:10PM: TURN IT AROUND! MOBILIZING YOUTH VISIONS AND VOICES TO REIMAGINE CLIMATE

Decisions about our climate futures are usually made without the input of those who will be living those very futures. Join a global youth-led campaign that mobilizes the power of socially engaged art to ‘reeducate’ policymakers, reimagine climate futures, and share the voices of youth in spaces where they have been historically excluded. By flipping who teaches whom and what knowledge matters, this is a reminder that everyone — and everything — must change.

Against all odds and polar advice, a Muslim chaplain, a French biologist, a Qatari princess and eight other women from the Arab World and the West attempt to ski across the melting Arctic sea ice to the North Pole. Director Holly Morris and her crew capture the struggle of these boundary-breaking adventurers who, led by veteran polar explorer Felicity Aston, navigate everything from frostbite and polar bear threats, to sexism and self-doubt in an intimate story of resilience, survival and global citizenry. EXPOSURE is the story of the audacious women who are, to date, the last ever to ski over the ice to the North Pole.
