1 小时 24 分钟Welcome to the LSE Events podcast by the London School of Economics and Political Science.
Get ready to hear from some of the most influential international figures in the social sciences.
Good evening, everyone.
My name is Larry Kramer, and for those who don't know,
I'm the President and Vice Chancellor here at LSE.
And it's my pleasure to welcome both our online audience and our live audience here in the Sheikh Zayed Theater for this event hosted by LSE's Global School of Sustainability.
The Global School of Sustainability, or GSOS, as we call it, is new,
and this is the second in a series of events we're holding in connection with its launch.
LSE's The Global School is an interdisciplinary center institute for research on sustainability expertise and impact.
And that latter point impact is particularly important.
GSOS obviously will maintain LSE's high standards for pioneering research,
advancing social science, and will do so on several fronts related to sustainability.
in particular things like the finances that are needed for a green transition,
the political and legal mechanisms that are needed for environmental protection,
but it will have a particular focus on global policy engagement with partners here at LSE and around the world.
The vision of GSOS is to help shape a sustainable world, one that's resilient,
prosperous and inclusive and it's going to strive to do that is striving to do that by focusing on the most deeply rooted expansive and complex obstacles to a sustainable future and by mobilizing a substantial global network to collaborate on solving the most pressing economic,
political, social and behavioral challenges to achieving sustainability.
So speaking of a global network,
We're honored this evening to be hosting one of Alice's most prominent alums,
