Colloquium Programme

Delving Deep into Global Governance and the Role of Business
The 6th Annual Colloquium will create an outstanding arena for participants to engage with leaders from business, academia, policy and civil society on the emerging global governance paradigm. The conference will address this subject in plenary from four different angles:

> The Context of Global Governance and the Role of Business in Society
> New Forms of Global Governance - Self Regulation, Voluntary Standards and Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships
> Business, Global Governance and Global Issues - The Challenges and Opportunities of Climate Change
> New Kinds of Leadership for Global Governance and the Implications for Management Development
 
Emphasis will be placed throughout on a high level of audience participation and a genuinely interactive debate of the core issues.
