Serageldin's interventions at the Meeting of Minds Forum

15/01/2020 | Jakarta

Serageldin's three interventions were very well received. He laid the broad canvas at the opening, defining “The Changing Economic Landscape”, in relation to five major issues : Globalization and World Trade, the unprecedented technological revolution; and the changes in relative ranking of economies, but above all the critical environmental issues, and the unrelenting pressure of population dynamics. Another intervention dealt with Climate Change and the need to redouble our efforts at decarbonizing our economies and dealing with mitigation, adaptation and resilience. Finally he also had a special intervention on the topic of Islamic Finance (on the second day).
