Questions the speakers will address:

• Globalization is asymmetric, and politics lag behind – can corporate responsibility fill the gap?
• There is much greenwashing in politics and business, but is there virtue in hypocrisy?
• Corporate sustainability is challenged by ecology, but what about fairness?
• Do we need to bring the state back in, and is there a case for partnered governance?
• Is sustainability primarily for front-runners, if so what about the rest?
• Business is in a squeeze between democratic and autocratic states. What are the ways out?

The debate will moderated by Christian Borch, journalist and former NRK News anchor.
