| Abstract (ENG): |
This panel is a joint effort of the streams on Governance Analytics and Making an Impact, on the Practice of
OR. The united nations just published an alarming report
https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/blog/2019/05/naturedecline-unprecedented-report/ showing that mankind not only leads
to an accelerated rate of extinction of species but is orchestrating
its own extinction, unless a dramatic change occurs. This calls for
effective global governance measures. Intentions are however not
enough, for instance agreeing on an amount of emission reduction
is not the same as knowing how to reach such objective. Resources
are also unequally distributed: we produce more than enough food
to feed mankind, nevertheless more than 10% of the world is starving. Careful planning may lead to bringing food to those that need it at low cost and on time. Means of mass transportation have a lower environmental impact but are difficult to plan to the full extent of their potential. Huge opportunities for OR to develop the instruments that effective governance may use to improve the condition of our planet. The panel brings together experts in governance,
sustainability, energy, societal impact, mass transportation, defense against the forces of nature and on how to effectively feed the world. |
