2️⃣ Finance & Economy

📅 5 May 2023 - 15:00-17:00

🎯 Description:

To respond to the call of the UN Secretary-General to create a global economy that works for all and fully deploy the Pact for the Future of Humanity, the innovative and people-centered financial mechanisms should continue to be developed and experimented with, as the basis of our new social contract where every person and the planet are cared and provided for in a partnership with governments.

A true global economy requires “adequately resourced public sectors and private actors who understand themselves to be contributing and benefiting from the delivery of global public goods”.

The aim is to promote a more distributive economic system as well as fairer financial and commercial practices to protect and improve local service provision, develop green and social infrastructure and reduce inequalities throughout the territory.
