Conference "The Global Institutional Architecture and the Financial Crisis - An Opportunity for Sustainable Development?"
If planet Earth is one country, what shape is it in and how well is it governed? Which institutions have not facilitated good governance and how do they need to be changed? In the context of the concurrent economic and environmental crises, how can the pressing need for short term solutions be used effectively as an opportunity for initiating the long term shift to sustainability? Participants of Ecologic Institute's final conference of the InEG Project sought to plumb the answers to these questions.
On September 14th and 15th, an international group of scholars and practitioners gathered in Berlin to discuss “The Global Institutional Architecture and the Financial Crisis - An Opportunity for Sustainable Development?” Keynote speakers included representatives of government, the United Nations, the financial sector, NGOs, and academia.
