Common Ground

Learning to live with change is a common experience that all life on earth share. Making sustainable choices for us and our communities calls for prevailing motivators, inspired researchers and practitioners, intelligent communicators and brave politicians. The global challenge for a sustainable life has many aspects. Sustainability is often critical where there is no democracy. The blue planet is our common ground. Who should have a say on how its landscapes and resources are distributed, developed and designed?
IFLA 2019 is Partner in Oslo European Green Capital 2019.

IFLA World Congress 2019 will take a closer look at urban transformation, green mobility, healthy and beautiful landscapes and community participation. During three days in Oslo, we aim to inspire, challenge and intrigue you. We want you to share and reflect on the knowledge that is developed, presented and discussed. Join us in moving one step further to understand and protect our COMMON GROUND.

Felles grunn

Å lære seg å leve med forandring er en felles utfordring som alt liv på jorden deler. Vi trenger utholdende motivatorer, inspirerende forskere og prosjekterende, intelligente kommunikatorer og modige politikere. Den globale utfordringen for et bærekraftig liv har mange aspekter. Bærekraft er ofte en kritisk faktor hvor demokratiske prosesser mangler. Den blå planeten er vår felles grunn. Hvem skal bestemme hvordan landskap og ressurser skal fordeles, utvikles og formgis?

På IFLA Verdenskongress 2019 vil vi se nærmere på bærekraftige bytransformasjoner, grønn mobilitet, sunne og vakre byer og medvirkning.
