  • Climate change pays for Danish businesses

    09-11-2009 00:28
    Did you know that sushi chefs should prefer frozen to fresh salmon? And that when you are dealing with WAL*MART you would do better to sleep in cheap motels and look anxious to pay for your coffee? And that these things are related, in a certain way, to the business impact on climate?

    That and much more was what you could have learned at a last minute business panel discussion on the final day of the Global Dialogue Conference ’09.

    It’s good news that there are businesses that take climate change

  • Where’s the why?

    08-11-2009 23:48
    Chris Nash reminded us in his plenary lecture of the one question that journalists – always keen on ‘finding the facts’ – miss. We ask ‘who?’, ‘what?’, ‘when?’ and ‘where?’, but in our rush to get the story out we don’t always have time for ‘why?’. 

    ‘Why’, Chris pointed out, is the most important question. 

    In the conference presentations I’ve heard, a lot of questions have been posed. I suppose from an academic perspective this is the ideal, if we’re trying to find n

  • Journalism and climate change: Expect the worst

    05-11-2009 23:17

    An old indian fairy tale goes like this: Five blind sages have been sent out to describe how this strange new animal called “Elephant” looks like. As every one of them touched only one part of the Elephant they came back with five completely different impressions. With this little anecdote Henrik Bödker only wanted to promote the interdisciplinary evening plenary. But actually he provided a great introduction to Chris Nash’s speech about “What can we expect of Journalism in Confron

  • Should we share the bill?

    04-11-2009 23:53
    “A rich man and a poor man went to a restaurant. The rich man ordered two courses, red wine and a dessert. The poor man just asked for the dessert. When the bill arrived the rich man said to the poor that they have to share the bill half-half.”

    This example, given by Kristian Hoyer-Toft, one of the conference’s speakers, was really appropriate to illustrate the theme of TRACK 1 session’s of Wednesday: responsibility.

    One of the points in the presentation made by the
