Helena Norberg-Hodge at the Brussels Economic Forum


Tuesday, June 18th, 2019
(this event has passed)

Brussels Economic Forum
Belgium
Hosted by the European Commission

The Brussels Economic Forum is the flagship annual economic event of the European Commission. Now in its 19th year, the BEF is a platform for stimulating debates and new perspectives on Europe’s economic challenges, led by influential speakers and participants.

On June 18th Helena Norberg-Hodge joined a panel discussion on the topic:

‘A new global order: inward or outward looking?’

Panel description courtesy of the Brussels Economic Forum website:

‘How can the EU shape globalisation and lead the way in building a more inclusive global order? What caused the breakdown of some citizens’ trust in open societies and globalisation? Do we need new rules of the game to deliver the benefits of globalisation and international trade more equally, protect people and revert the populist backlash? How can we respond to the protectionist drift? Should we revamp the multilateral system to ensure that everybody plays by the same rules? Between disengagement from multilateralism and the emergence of new economic world powers, what role for Europe and the euro in a multipolar/multicurrency system?’

Watch the panel discussion here

Moderator:
Sasha Vakulina (Euronews)

Panel discussion with:
Marco Buti (Director General, DG ECFIN, European Commission)
Arancha González (Executive Director, International Trade Center)
Hanneke Faber (President Food & Refreshment, Unilever)
Helena Norberg-Hodge (Founder and Director, Local Futures and The International Alliance for Localization)
