Our Global Challenges: A Series of Dialogues on the Most Pressing Global Issues of Our Time
The series will feature political leaders, innovators, international experts, thought leaders and public figures from around the world. While the panels will be attended by the Washington-based policy community, academia and the private sector, what will make the program unique is the partnership with the University of Miami’s Knight Center for International Media. This nexus between policy and media will include dissemination of the information presented during the Global Challenges Series not just to participants, but to audiences globally via the World Wide Web.
The panel discussions will focus on the 8 UN Millennium Development Goals: Goal 1: Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger; Goal 2: Achieve universal primary education; Goal 3: Promote gender equality and empower women; Goal 4: Reduce child mortality; Goal 5: Improve maternal health; Goal 6: Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases; Goal 7: Ensure environmental sustainability; and Goal 8: Develop a global partnership for development.
The first session of the dialogue series will be held at CSIS on November 2 from 3:00-4:00 PM and will feature a panel discussion titled “Meeting the challenge of the Millennium Development Goals in Haiti: A progress report from the poorest country in the Americas.”
