  • Financial and monetary reforms for sustainable development: global and regional initiatives

    What are the global and regional initiatives needed to avert new crises and make trade and finance work for full and productive employment, reduce inequalities and promote sustainable development?

  • Making the transition to a green economy fair and equitable

    How can the move to a green economy be fair – in terms of finance, trade, investment andtechnology – between and within countries?

This third annual UNCTAD Public Symposium provides a venue for multi-stakeholder dialogue on topics likely to dominate the global political agenda in 2011 and 2012.

Participants from civil society, the private sector, parliamentarians, academia, the media, international organizations and governments will have an opportunity to exchange views and proposals on these issues, notably in relation to the following processes:

  • UNCTAD XIII, United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (2012)

  • Rio+20, United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (2012)

The programme will include a combination of plenary and breakout sessions organized by UNCTAD, cs os and partner organizations. On 22 and 23 June, participants will debate the above themes.

On 24 June, civil society groups will be able to organize strategy sessions related to key political processes underway (G20, UNCTAD XIII, Rio+20).
