Sustainable Decision-Making in a Time of Crisis - 4th Annual Conference of APABIS

The conference reflects lessons learnt and being learned from the global financial crisis, from the climate change prognosis and from rethinking global governance.

This is also the 10th anniversary of the UN Global Compact, and the UN Year of Biodiversity. The conference immediately precedes the Asia Pacific Economic Community (APEC) 2010 Summit (10 - 11 November in Yokohama, Japan). Given the birth of the G20 group of nations, the inexorable diffusion of economic power to the Asia Pacific region, and the rise of new organisational forms and business models, the conference is particularly timely and relevant. On the conference programme are sessions which discuss: ‘how and to what extent does decision making differ between the public and private arenas?’ and ‘given the imperative for new global governance how can private and public decision-making work together for the common good?’
