GLOBAL CONFERENCE – VIII th EDITION “SUCCESSFUL TRANSITION”

TEXT ALIGNMENT FOR VARIOUS MODULES:

Opening Plenary: The transition is engaged? The transition to a greener development model of man and the environment is activated in many ways. Sustainable development is placed on the international political agenda since the first Earth Summit in Rio in 1992. The corporations have taken the concept and begin to develop political responsibility. Dialogue with the parties involved, is essential for public and private operators. Many examples of technological and social innovations also show how the transition is now underway. However, the multilateral negotiations is struggling and the economic crisis slows business in their ability to adapt and evolve. The implementation of sustainable development is not yet a reality. The urgency of the response to the current challenges do not allow policy makers to take a step back to reflect long-term changes in society. Despite a clear common interest, collective action difficult to organize. Leadership problem, discrepancy of interest and / or difficulties in the spatial and temporal organization of change? Should we continue on the same path, or a new dynamic?

Session 2: ? Regional areas as a new lever of multilateralism The emergence of regional areas (EU, NAFTA, ASEAN, MERCOSUR …) leads to articulate three levels of regulation: regulation at the global level, developed by the United Nations; regulations regional and national. These three levels correspond to different forms of multilateralism: a global multilateralism and regional multilateralism. But faced with difficulties, the implementation of sustainable development it must not pass through a greater integration of regional areas in the global multilateralism? An organized around regional entities acting negotiations multilateral system would not it be more effective? Plenary 3: What adaptations of educational models and research to support the transition? education and research are key vectors of the transition to a more sustainable development model. But current models must evolve to allow general awareness of the challenges of the twenty-first century and thus promote a profound transformation of our societies. However, there can be no one model of education and research that is applicable in all countries. It seems necessary to adapt education to different audiences (children, citizens) and research policies, but also to different geographical areas, the extent of inequalities persist across regions of the world, the both access but also the quality of education. The content of the programs and policies must also evolve to facilitate the awareness of the issues and the management of change, but also to promote a change in behavior. How can we develop new educational models and research more responsive and able to support the transition?

Closing Plenary: ? What are the conditions for a successful transition Successful transition requires profound changes in our lifestyles and behaviors, but also significant changes in our organizations. It also requires many innovations and a set of reforms, which must be designed in a coordinated and articulated. What are the conditions for success?
