Geopolitical power shifts: The new challenge for progress towards global sustainability
2025 is turning out to be a year of substantial turmoil — in markets, in politics, and in international relations. Companies, governments, academia and organizations around the world are scrambling to adapt. Initiatives focused on global sustainability — concern for the environment, social progress and inclusive institutions — have also come under pressure. The Misum Forum 2025 will convene to discuss what the lasting impacts of these shifts might be for global sustainability goals, and what organizations are doing and planning now in a complex environment. Some questions we will examine:
- How should we understand the political economy of the current moment?
- What will rising geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainty imply for social progress?
- What is the human cost of sharp reductions in foreign aid in many rich countries?
- How have the complex shifts in policy and business environments affected the corporate social responsibility of large firms?
Our speakers are among the leading global experts who can help us make sense of these tumultuous times.
