After a year of unprecedented economic crisis, the year ahead is seen as a fundamental time for reflection on the changes required at an international level for progress towards sustainable and equitable development, taking into account the fact that the challenges facing humanity today are to be considered in the light of a common responsibility.
The Pio Manzù is pleased to present the programme for its 2010 International Conference which will seek to shed light on six major challenges facing mankind in the 21st century. Leading experts and authorities will discuss new strategies and solutions to address: the eco-challenge: climatic change and energy demand; asymmetrical population growth; the threat of terrorism; global growth and women’s empowerment; the transformation of the economy; the need for global ethical standards and long-term objectives.
