Salon: New Responsibilities
April 26, 2017
Mercator Center Berlin, Stiftung Mercator
The world is facing major global challenges: climate change, displacement and migration, peacekeeping and poverty alleviation. The burgeoning of a new economic nationalism and growing protectionism set the global community under pressure and jeopardise global solutions. Germany must accept its responsibility within Europe and the World and adjust its role accordingly.
New Responsibilities: Germany within a Global World
How can Germany assume responsibility in Europe and the world in favour of peaceful global policies?
Our salon focused on how Germany can assume this responsibility in both Europe and the world in the future to ensure peaceful and sustainable global policies, thus, contributing to the fulfilment of the 2030 Agenda.
