What is Solutions Initiative Forum (SIF)?
SIF is an action-oriented one-day event where entrepreneurs, innovators, investors, businesses, civil society, policy makers and academia come together to promote solutions for a challenge connected to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
What is SIF Integration?
SIF Integration provides an interactive meeting arena to promote available Nordic solutions focusing on how to reach a more integrated and inclusive society. At SIF Integration, we will launch the Integra-tion Solutions Report. The report show-cases some examples of Nordic solutions to show that an inclusive and sustainable society is possible.
What’s in it for me?
• You learn about new innovations for a more integrated and inclusive
society
• It is an opportunity to meet integration projects that seek funding to scale
up
• You build networks with various stakeholders working with similar
challenges
• You share insights and experiences with others
• Join forces to identify the next steps to implement solutions
How were solutions selected to be presented at SIF Integration?
Innovation offices all over Northern Europe together with other channels have supported the process of gathering and selecting successful solutions for integration. Identifying prominent and innovative solutions for a more inclusive society has been sup-ported by GU Ventures and Forum for Social Innovation Sweden. Also, some of the solutions were recommended through an Open Call.
Which selection criteria have been used?
Solutions have been selected based on 6 criteria. The solutions should: 1. Address challenges of reaching a more integrated and inclusive
society.
2. Together highlight a broad range of examples of innovative Nordic
solutions. The aim is not to be comprehensive but rather to reflect the
wide spectrum of solutions that are available.
3. Be readily available and have overcome initial barriers.
4. Be transformative: the solutions should have the potential to move
the society towards sustainability.
5. Be holistic: the solutions should take all the SDGs into consideration in
an SDG Impact Assessment, highlighting the potential impact that the
solution has on the SDGs. As part of this self-evaluation learning pro-
cess the solutions receive comments from an Advisory Panel.
6. Be scalable: the solutions must have the potential to perform well
after expanding in scope, size and/or geographically.
Together for sustainable solutions
SDSN Northern Europe, Forum for Social Innovation Sweden and GU Ventures now join forces to promote innovative solutions to meet challenges of integration.

Climate Change & Migration
For a More Inclusive Society
How Much do we Know About Climate Change and Human Mobility? Biljana Macura & Clarisse Kehler Seibert, Research Fellows, Stockholm Environmental Institute What do we know and not know about the interlinkages between climate change and forced or voluntary migration? This is a crowded research field of complex and unclear causal links. “Climate migrants” or “climate refugees” have become contested notions at the heart of political debate. Biljana Macura and Clarisse Kehler Seibert present early work on a systematic review of literature on the cli-mate change, migration and displacement nexus.
Climate Change, Collective Violence and Migration Lennart Olsson, Professor, Lund University Current evidence of climate-induced conflicts and migration is weak and ambig-uous. Food riots, once a common form of collective violence, may become more common because of complex interaction between structural change of the politi-cal economy and climate change impacts. The combination of rapid rural-urban migration, premature de-industrialisation and the end of cheap food may result in social unrest in megalopolis regions. Lennart Olsson presents how theoretical reasoning may provide predictive understanding of future outbreaks of collec-tive violence and potential hotbeds of migration.
Climate Change and Social Tipping PointsFrançois Gemenne, Co-director of Observatory on Climate and Defense and FNRS Senior Research Associate and Director of The Hugo Observatory In the last decade, the notion of “tipping point” has been widely used by climate scientists, referring in particular to strongly self-amplifying dynamics in parts of the climate system. This talk will point out that a broader, interdisciplinary con-ceptualisation of what constitutes a tipping point can advance our understanding of the social impacts of climate change. When examining these impacts, François Gemenne argue that social tipping points can be triggered before climate tipping points are reached and small environmental disruptions can trigger major social transformations.
Together for a More Inclusive SocietyCatrine Bangum, Senior Advisor, Nordic Council of Ministers Catrine Bangum is leading the Nordic co-operation on integration program. This co-operation program is designed to support the Nordic countries’ integration ef-forts by bolstering Nordic co-operation on the integration of refugees and immi-grants through the sharing experiences and development of new knowledge.
Innovations for a More Inclusive SocietyDjaffar Shalchi, Founder and CEO, Human Act Mr. Djaffar Shalchi is originally from Tehran, Iran and arrived to Copenhagen, Denmark as an immigrant in 1970. Djaffar is an accomplished entrepreneur in the property development business. After successfully building up many prop-erty companies, he decided to dedicate the majority of his time and fortune to eradicate extreme poverty through the Human Act Foundation and Project Move Humanity. Djaffar will end SIF Integration with his inspiring personal experience of how innovation is a key driver for a more inclusive society.
