CHICAGO AND THE WORLD FORUM

ROAD TO 2008: AMERICAN LEADERSHIP IN AN UNCERTAIN WORLD

ADVANCE REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED. PLEASE REGISTER AT THE DOOR.

Managing Globalization

with

Jeffrey Sachs, Director, the Earth Institute, Columbia University

Does the current global economic system face a sustainability crisis? Jeffrey Sachs, special advisor to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon on the Millennium Development Goals, thinks it does. He argues for a new economic paradigm – global, inclusive, cooperative, environmentally aware, and science-based – to confront the realities of a crowded and rapidly integrating planet. Exploring the likelihood of a worldwide economic collapse of unprecedented severity, he poses the provocative question: how long before the world must face the consequences of globalization?

This program with Jeffrey Sachs is part of the 2007-2008 Chicago and the World Forum, The Road to 2008: American Leadership in an Uncertain World, a public program series with leading foreign policy experts exploring the complex global challenges and opportunities facing the next administration.
