Paris

An unpredictable world

Ecological growth
Governance of common resources
Health regulations, demography and migrations
Research and Development,
Innovation
Energy and transport

 
While economic globalisation advances at full speed, yet never before has the world been so unpredictable inasmuch as risk factors continue to increase: climate change, health, energy supply, disputes over water, financial ups and downs, overblown tourism, technological limitations... as well as all the conflicts relating to ethnic origins and identity.
New worlds have emerged, human beings have multiplied their mobility and so has the spread of information. We foresee glimpses of alternative and perhaps sustainable solutions: ecological growth, governance of our common resources, transition in energy, health regulations, demography and migrations, progress in research.
Through its multi-disciplinary, efficient and ethical approach in dealing with economic and geopolitical, cultural and geo-strategic issues, the 5th Global Forum on Sustainable Development intends to assess the problems of and solutions for this “unpredictable world”. Eminent French and foreign experts with a great variety of political, economic and cultural horizons will share their experiences, successes, concerns and expectations.

IFP is a partner of this 5th Global Forum on Sustainable Development.
Olivier Appert, Chairman of IFP, was panelist of the session 7 "Energy and transport" (Friday, 7 December 2007 - 9h00-12h30).
