Polling Session

The Monaco Dialogue featured exclusive polling rounds for each panel, giving the participants an opportunity to engage informally with the themes under discussion. Moderated by the session Chair, the results of the polling were subsequently commented upon by the panellists.

Past Sustainable Action Dialogues

With the aim of widening the scope and outreach of the WSDS, a series of pre-events in the form of sustainable action dialogues are held prior to the Summit. The discussions held during these dialogues are brought forward to the main Summit stage where they are further matured and discussed in-depth by experts and practitioners from relevant fields.

Past international dialogues have been held in:

  • New York, USA (2018): ‘Energy transitions: Reconciling Competing Imperatives of Development and Environment Sustainability’ in association with ETC India
  • Kazakhstan (2017): The Role of Green Accounting and Carbon Finance
  • Suva, Fiji (2017): Furthering the FIPIC Agenda through Sustainability Initiatives

Following the Monaco Sustainable Action Dialogue on 3 July, 2019, the second international dialogue is scheduled in New York, USA. This Dialogue will be held along the lines of the UN Climate Summit on 23 September, 2019. It will focus on the broad theme of ‘Energy Transitions’.
