12th March 2024: Geneva Graduate Institute: BRICS - The World upside down (Film Screening and Panel Discussion) The death knell of Western dominance has tolled. With three-quarters of humanity outside the Western world, we find ourselves in a tense interregnum. The old international order is crumbling, and a new order is emerging with as yet unclear contours. The rise of the Global South and the expansion of the BRICS are challenges to a system of Western norms and values undermined by its own contradictions. Democratic advocates of this swing see in it the promise of more inclusive global governance. But in an unpredictable geopolitical environment, this transformation is also high-risk. This redrawing of the world is taking place in an increasingly merciless confrontation between the great powers. Could it lead to a weakening of liberal values, in particular fundamental human rights? Tuesday, 12th February 2024, 6:30 pm - 9 pm, Auditorium Ivan Pictet, Maison de la paix, Geneva |

13th March 2024: UNECE RFSD: Cross Sector Intelligence and Foresight to accelerate the SDGS The UNECE 2023 assessment of the region's progress on the Agenda 2030 paints a worrisome picture: there is not a single Sustainable Development Goal on track. The heightened conditions of polycrisis beg the need for creative solutions. 2024 will be a year where the stark questions on the future will come into focus at the Summit of the Future and in the run-up to it. International Geneva has a special role to play in this context. During this side event to the UNECE Regional Forum on Sustainable Development, leading experts will present a blueprint for the Geneva track of the UN Futures Lab, showcase new models and scalable platforms to harness cross-sector collective intelligence and propel the SDGs’ progress, and highlight the potential for cross-sectoral intelligence and strategic foresight as International Geneva’s contribution to the upcoming Summit of the Future. Wednesday, 13th March 2024, 1:15 pm - 14:45 pm, Campus Biotech - Auditorium H8 | 9 Chemin des Mines, Geneva or Online |
