Artemis Hall | European Cultural Centre of Delphi
Programming Partner: Italian Institute for International Political Studies (ISPI)
The Global South is getting more and more vocal in its requests for a fairer and bigger role in world affairs. This may be seen as a challenge to the Global North and to the international liberal order. Can the G7 build new bridges rather than new walls? How to safeguard the international economy and avoid further trade wars and protectionism? Which further steps should the G7 take to promote sustainable development in low- and middle-income countries? Which room for North-South cooperation on green transition and adaptation to climate change?
