Augusto Lopez-Claros
(Executive Director and Chair, Global Governance Forum; International economist with over 30 years of experience in international organisations, including most recently at the World Bank; 2018-19 Senior Fellow, Edmund Walsh School of Foreign Service, Georgetown University)
Moderator:
Markus Kornprobst (Professor of International Relations, Vienna School of International Studies)
The contemporary crises faced by humanity require a new kind of international agreement. One which will prevent accelerating climate change from ruining the world for future generations, deescalate the high levels of nationalism which risk precipitating further global conflicts, and address economic and social inequities which could undermine the basis of democracy and good governance. One which will remove the possibility of the use of nuclear weapons and place global security on international agreements securing freedom and democracy for all nations rather than on the military preparedness of individual states.
Chapters:
