GG2020 fellows meet in Washington DC for final session
From 16-20 January 2011, GPPi and its project partners co-organized the third and final session of the Global Governance 2020 (GG2020) program, this one in Washington, DC.
The GG2020 program brings together 24 young leaders – eight each from the United States, China and Germany – to jointly develop a vision for the system of global governance in the year 2020 and beyond. The GG2020 fellows met three times from January 2010-11, first in Berlin, then in Shanghai and finally in Washington. GPPi hosted the most recent session with the Brookings Institution, with additional support from Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School.
In Washington, the fellows spoke with a number of global governance experts and government representatives, among them Anne-Marie Slaughter (director of policy planning at the US State Department), Strobe Talbott (the president of Brookings), Andrew Steer (special envoy for climate change at the World Bank), Klaus Scharioth (Germany’s ambassador to the US), Jeffrey Lewis (director of economic policy and debt in the Poverty Reduction and Economic Management Network), Matthew Burrows (counselor at the US National Intelligence Council) and Olivier Blanchard (economic counselor and director of the research department at the International Monetary Fund).
On 19 January, the GG2020 working group on climate governance presented their report titled Beyond a Global Deal – A UN+ Approach to Climate Governance at Brookings Institution. The group shared their findings and recommendations with a panel of climate policy experts and an audience of representatives from government, NGOs, think tanks, academia and the media. Following a one-year scenario building process, the working group laid out their vision and recommendations for the future of global climate governance.
The GG2020 program is jointly conducted by GPPi, the Hertie School of Governance, the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University, Brookings, Fudan University and the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences. The program is generously supported by the Robert Bosch Stiftung and the Transatlantic Program of the German Government (ERP Grant administered by the German Ministry for Economics and Technology).
