Gender equality and inclusion must be a social norm if the world shall succeed in building peaceful, sustainable societies. The benefits of diversity should be unquestioned, but how do we move from awareness to change? How can civil society, private sector and policy makers work together to reach the goals of gender equality and diversity? What can we learn from each other? In the spirit of the Nobel Peace Prize, Oslo Pax 2020 gathers businesses and civil society, changemakers and Nobel laureates to discuss and produce best practice for inclusion and diversity.   

Speakers who will participate on stage at the Nobel Peace Center in Oslo and digitally from around the world include:
