Rethinking Global Economy

Last year brought the world’s attention more than ever to the imperative issue of sustainable development. The UN Sustainable Development Summit offered countries the opportunity to set up a set of goals to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all as part of a new sustainable development agenda.  A clear conclusion emerged:

everyone needs to do their part: governments, the private sector, civil society and people like you.  It is time to join efforts to transform our world and to rethink the global economy in a sustainable way. Countries are determined to take the bold and transformative steps which are urgently needed to shift the world onto a sustainable and resilient path.

Globalization as a phenomenon implies an interconnected world across environments, societies and economies. Globalization is a fact of life even more so due to its dynamic and multifaceted nature. Multiplicity, diversity, interdependence, and flows of influence are common themes associated with globalization. From an environmental perspective, globalization produces both negative and positive pressures on governance. Economic globalization tremendously impacts environmental processes at the local, regional, national and global level. By integrating far-flung markets, globalization may intensify the use and depletion of natural resources, increase waste production, and lead to a “race to the bottom” as capital moves globally to countries and locations that have less stringent environmental standards. Global economic development, urbanization, our changing lifestyles and a technology-driven society have resulted in new environmental challenges. Climate change is increasingly being seen not just as an environmental issue but as one which cuts across our economic, development and domestic and foreign policy agendas. The special session CCEDEP will offer opportunities for information and knowledge exchange, openness to interdisciplinarity  of experts, researchers and institutions in various fields with the purpose of fostering international cooperation and new research initiatives.
