Podcasts about global development forum

The world is once again at a crossroad regarding its future. Re-globalization versus de-globalization, more cooperation going forward or more confrontation? The first Tongzhou Global Development Forum attracted a whole range of senior policymakers, diplomats, and scholars. In this special edition of The Hub, CGTN host Wang Guan caught up with some of the attendees of the forum to hear their opinions on global development challenges.

China is hosting an international forum in Beijing in a move to foster dialogue between different civilizations. The Inter-Civilizational Communication and Global Development Forum has attracted some 150 officials, business leaders, scholars and celebrities from more than 30 countries. Chinese President Xi Jinping proposed the Global Civilization Initiative (GCI) earlier this year, calling for international people-to-people exchanges and respect for the diversity of civilizations. Why is it an important mission for China to foster dialogue between different civilizations? What issues is the GCI looking to address? Host Ding Heng is joined by Erik Solheim, former Executive Director of the UN Environment Programme, and Einar Tangen, Senior Fellow with the Taihe Institute.

I had an engaging and lively conversation with Holly Copeland, senior director of Corporate Social Responsibility at Horizon Therapeutics. Many organizations believe in giving back to the community, but Horizon started their Corporate Social Responsibility program when the company was not yet profitable.  That's how important they felt it was to thrive within their community ecosystem.  We discussed: Using Corporate Social Responsibility outcomes in conjunction with the goals of the company The creative lens to create a “buffet” of opportunities to get employees involved The correlation between CSR and employee engagement and positive company culture The importance of employees feeling part of something bigger, beyond their job description CSR as a way to promote pride in the organization What an organization, no matter how small, can do right now to make a small step toward their own corporate social responsibility  Listen in to hear what YOU can do right now to create the ripple effect in your own community.   About Holly Copeland Holly Copeland has been with Horizon since 2015 and currently serves as senior director of their Corporate Social Responsibility, Sustainability & Impact work.
