Long presentation of the Forum

« Our diversity is our asset ».
The Forum for a Responsible Globalisation is the key event of dialogue for everyone who is concerned by the global stakes of this century and who believes that they can act to make a difference, each in their own way, each in their own local area. It fosters the emergence of new models for reflection and action, founded on a better balance between economic and social interests.

The Forum for a Responsible Globalisation is designed to serve as a resource site, a place to find information and insight into the dynamics of globalisation. It aims to encourage social dialogue and facilitate cooperation among business leaders, union leaders, representatives of NGOs, international organisations, academics, elected officials of cities and regions.

To reach this objective, the format of the Forum’s programme includes background sessions and discussion sessions on innovative practices and experiences.
The focus is on ways of:

• Supporting a collective, multi-actor approach opening the way for new solutions empowering all stakeholders
• Learning from other innovative practices to move beyond the rhetoric and involve stakeholders in the crafting and implementing of new solutions
• Making cities and regions a driving force for initiatives opening new paths to globalisation.

The Forum for a Responsible Globalisation mobilises numerous institutions and international partners (OECD, European Commission ILO, Suez Group, Amnesty International, ETUC…).

Chaired by Jacques Delors, the Honorary Board brings a scientific and moral guarantee, and a multistakeholder approach :

• Mr. Abdoulaye Wade, President of the Republic of Senegal
• Mr. François Périgot, President of the International Organisation of Employers
• Mr. Guy Ryder, General Secretary, International Confederation of Free Trade Unions
• Mr. Edgar Morin, Director emeritus of research, Centre d'études transdisciplinaires
• Mr. Louis Schweitzer, Chairman of the Board of Directors, Renault
• Mr. Alexander Likhotal, President and CEO, Green Cross International
• Mrs. Mercedes Bresso, President of the Piedmont Region
• Mr. Smagaliso Mkhatshwa, Executive Mayor of Tshwane; President of United Cities and Local Governments
• Mr. Jean-Philippe Cotis, Chief Economist, OECD

The key themes of the 2006 Forum focus on new potential motors for development and the role of public funding and private investment, focusing on three themes:

• What kind of global chain of trade for fair development?
• Corporate responsibility : governance and financing of fair development.
• Making local areas active partners in globalisation.
