More InformationThe Digital Global Solutions Summit 2020
On account of the Coronavirus pandemic and the international reactions to it, the Global Solutions Summit 2020 needed to be reconceived.
With the Digital Summit Platform the Global Solutions Initiative not only provided a stepping stone to the T20 and G20 Summits 2020 under difficult circumstances, but also an opportunity: The opportunity was to reimagine the future of the G20 support in terms of a combination of digital and physical interactions, enabling a closer dialogue across the research, policy making, civil and business communities around the world.
With some 220 speakers, over 800 contributions including keynotes, panel discussions, dozens of vision statements and policy briefs, the purpose of the Global Solutions Initiative’s work, to support multilateralism and the G20 from a civil society and research-based perspective was realized. We thank our over 5,000 digital participants for taking part.
Here you will find a detailed overview of the main topics that were set this year – always with a reference to the Global Solutions’s narrative of Recoupling. The program overview with all Global Tables can be found here.
Themes of the Digital Global Solutions Summit 2020
The Digital Global Solutions Summit 2020 centered around core sessions that contribute to the agenda of the G20 and T20 by addressing the Task Force areas plus an additional area dealing with policy in response to the COVID-19-pandemic. Underlying all topics is the Global Solutions Initiative’s narrative on Recoupling. All panels dealt with the connections that are made with this narrative to the G20 on specific topics. In addition, the visions were highlighted in further keynotes and panels. A detailed overview of the subject areas and their focal points can be found here, which are deepened in descriptions of the corresponding Global Tables.
Process of the Digital Global Solutions Summit 2020
Starting with an Opening Panel the Digital Global Solutions Summit consists of keynotes, discussions, interviews and impulse statements by high-ranking representatives from research, politics, business and civil society.
At the core of the Digital Global Solutions Summit are Global Tables, each tackling the T20 and G20 agenda as well as generating policies in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Each Global Table is accessible for the public via the Digital Global Solutions Summit 2020 website. Here we generate recommendations for the G20 in the spirit of recoupling economic and social prosperity.
A number of partners have contributed Global Tables on their own. We thank them for contributing to the Digital Global Solutions Summit 2020.
The Digital Global Solutions Summit 2020 will conclude with the Summit Round-Up in June.
This is where highlights from the Global Tables will be shared, and panels comprised of high-level experts will respond to the issues raised in the previous discussions by participants and speakers.
