Program The Future of Growth Economic Values and the Media International Conference 17 – 19 June 2013 | WorldCCBonn
Bonn perspectives for green growth In Bonn, the United Nations are working towards sustainable development worldwide with almost 1,000 employees in 18 secretariats, surrounded by a dense network of Bonn-based actors: scientific and academic institutions, development services, businesses, the media, and some 150 international and internationally active NGOs. Climate change, desertification, biodiversity and volunteer work are only a few of “Bonn’s topics”. Bonn stands for networking and dialogue, transdisciplinary cooperation and synergies, the city being an active partner in many of these processes.

As a renowned and appreciated platform for the international debate and a hub for international exchange Bonn is hosting conferences of the Parties to UN Conventions, major environmental conferences as well as events focusing development cooperation, green economy and the great transformation. The fact that sustainability has become a matter of economies worldwide, is reflected by conferences like the Energy, Water and Food Security Nexus Conference in 2011. Bonn is a place where sectors are interlinked and new perspectives are opened – in a conference series called Bonn Perspectives, in the work of institutions like the Right Livelihood Campus and of course in the Global Media Forum 2013 with its lively debates and participants from all over the world. Best practice, networking and inspiration meet at their best in Bonn, completed by a huge choice of recreational offers: Bonn’s Museum Mile with its topclass exhibitions, the annual Beethoven Festival and a rich cultural scene, the high quality of life and the great leisure opportunities of a city surrounded by the uniquely scenic landscape of the Rhine valley. Welcome to Bonn!

Message from the Host Message from the host
Erik Bettermann Welcome to the 6th edition of the Deutsche Welle Global Me-
dia Forum. Deutsche Welle celebrates its 60th anniversary in 2013 and we will start our international conference with a ceremony to commemorate the founding of Germany’s international broadcaster six decades ago. “The Future of Growth — Economic Values and the Media” is the topic of this year’s Global Media Forum. The world economy faces enormous challenges. Pressed to deal with climate change and scarce resources, it must also respond to growing social, political and cultural tensions. As billions of people vie for lives in dignity on a shared planet, the debate on global regulatory and structural policies is swelling. The recent financial crisis has brought transparency and stakeholder accountability into sharper public focus. The economic progress of many newly industrialized countries and increased South-South cooperation are weaving a new global economic fabric, opening up a wealth of opportunities. Concepts such as energy turnaround, green economies, social justice and environmental responsibility are driving the debate about the economic future. Sustainable climate protection is seen as key to economic viability and prosperity. During our plenary sessions on the second and third days of the conference (entitled “Global Governance: Blueprint for a Sustainable World Economy” and “Changing Economic Values — Green Economy, CSR and Human Rights” respectively) we will discuss further important aspects of this topic. Sustainable economic development and the role of growth have long been sociopolitical issues in which the media play an important role. On the one hand they are to deliver information and knowledge to broadly educate and sensitize the general public. On the other hand, they are expected to be watchdogs, spotlighting problems and holding those responsible accountable for their actions. How can the media meet those expectations? The Deutsche Welle Global Media Forum will provide the setting to develop interdisciplinary approaches to building an economy fit for the future. Experts from the fields of politics, business, finance, culture, academia, civil society and the media will jointly explore fundamental concerns, such as: What

opportunities are presented by new economic values? Is growth imperative to increasing prosperity? How can the media help to raise awareness of sustainable consumption and responsible use of resources? How can fair competition be assured at local, regional, national and international levels? Can interaction between stakeholders be improved? What potential do digital media have to inspire interactive participation in the economic dialogue, especially among younger generations? We are glad that you have come to Bonn to explore how media can play an active role in shaping our economic future and gain new insights into the future of growth. I am delighted to once again welcome the support of so many respected partner organizations — from government agencies to NGOs, institutions and foundations, and also from media and development cooperation organizations. Special thanks goes to the Foundation for International Dialogue of the Sparkasse Savings Bank in Bonn as co-host of this event. The conference is also kindly supported by Germany’s Federal Foreign Office, the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), the European Regional Development Fund, the Minister for Federal Affairs, Europe and the Media in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia, along with the City of Bonn and other organizations. The North Rhine-Westphalian Foundation for Environment and Development is a cooperation partner. Let’s enjoy three constructive and productive days together.

Message from the German Federal Minister for Foreign Affairs Message from the host
Erik Bettermann The Deutsche Welle Global Media Forum is a world-class in-
Š photothek
ternational media conference. It provides a platform for international media representatives and academic, political and business experts to come together to find solutions to today’s urgent problems. This format has proved successful. New, active networks have been formed which cooperate intensively across the globe. The conference and its participants have received recognition for their work on all continents. This year, too, the Federal Foreign Office is eager to play its part to enable people from different cultural and social backgrounds to convene for fruitful discussions in the Federal City of Bonn. The meetings of past years have shown how cultural diversity and shared goals can spark ideas and inspire people to produce remarkable achievements. Protection of human and civil rights, sustainable growth and resource management, environmental protection, social justice and the safeguarding of freedom pose the greatest challenges for the world of the 21st century. We must not allow current crises to distract us from focusing on these pressing issues. Governments cannot resolve them single-handedly. Democratic involvement and the activity of non-governmental players must generate innovative ideas for international policy. Yet the media, as an influential political and social force, are also called upon to assume responsibility and create free communication models for our common future. Deutsche Welle has been doing this for many years with outstanding success. At a time of revolution in the media, it has taken on the task of promoting open dialogue between cultures and societies worldwide. By providing reliable reporting and critical analysis it stands for credibility and independent journalism. I offer the German international broadcaster my heartfelt congratulations on this excellent achievement on the occasion of its 60th anniversary. I wish all the participants of the 2013 Global Media Forum many interesting exchanges and stimulating discussions.
Dr Guido Westerwelle German Federal Minister for Foreign Affairs

Global Media Forum
Message from the Minister of Federal Affairs, Europe and the Media of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany Over the past few decades, countries around the world have been experiencing impressive levels of growth. The dynamism has been particularly robust in developing countries. Nevertheless, the global economy is still plagued by uneven rates of recovery from the latest crisis, by environmental degradation, resource depletion and growing inequities, for instance in income distribution. These issues pose immense challenges to growth and to the progress of human development. Against this backdrop there has been an increasingly urgent debate in the international community on values and the need for innovative and sustainable economic policies which promote social equity and reduce environmental risks and ecological scarcities. Advances in green economy concepts and initiatives in the field of corporate social responsibility and fair trade reflect the current policy environment and the belief that growth and sustainable development are not contradictions in terms. The State of North Rhine-Westphalia has committed itself to the principles of sustainability and to promoting value-based economic growth founded on ecological, social and economic criteria. The broad support for innovative renewable energy activities in its development cooperation programs and the recent establishment of a regional department for fair public procurement are exemplary for the many activities that North Rhine-Westphalia supports in the field. The media has an important role to play in generating a much-needed dialogue on the challenges and opportunities of the global economy. The focus of this year’s Global Media Forum on economic values and the media is thus relevant and timely. I wish Deutsche Welle and the participants an enjoyable, thoughtprovoking and successful conference.
Dr Angelica Schwall-DĂźren Minister of Federal Affairs, Europe and the Media State of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany

Message from the Mayor of Bonn Once again I would like to welcome you to Bonn, Germany’s United Nations City and platform for international dialogue on sustainability. The UN has established a global hub for sustainable development here, with almost 1,000 employees based in Bonn. They are surrounded by a unique cluster of institutions and organizations active in the fields of environment and development. The city has become a renowned and appreciated platform for international debate and a nurturing environment for international exchange. Several Conferences of the Parties to UN Conventions, major environmental conferences and an increasing number of events focused on development cooperation, green economy and the great transformation have taken place here. Sustainability has progressively become a matter taken into greater consideration by economies around the world, a fact that is reflected in conferences such as the Energy, Water and Food Security Nexus, which took place in Bonn in 2011. The City of Bonn has joined forces with many partners to interlink different sectors and open up new perspectives — with a recently established conference series called “Bonn Perspectives”, with the work of institutions like the Right Livelihood Campus and, of course, with the 2013 Global Media Forum and its lively debates and participants from all over the world. Bonn is the place where best practice meets networking and inspiration. Deutsche Welle and its partners have successfully established the Global Media Forum as a leading platform for dialogue on the role of the media in different processes — and I think that green growth is a topic entirely in pace with the times. Thank you for being here in Bonn today, for being ambitious in your ideas and controversial in your discussions. Let us send out a signal from Bonn that resounds with political and economic decision-makers all around the world.
Jürgen Nimptsch Mayor of Bonn, Germany

Global Media Forum
Message Message from from the Co-Host During the past few years, in which social, economic and political tensions have drawn entire nations and economic systems to the verge of collapse, there has been a great deal of talk about the responsibility that falls to economic and financial experts. Progressive and unstoppable globalization, along with the interplay and increasing interdependence of economic and currency systems, have led to a situation in which more and more people are directly or indirectly affected by these tensions. Questions regarding growth, sustainability, social justice, resource conservation and the values we attach to these concepts can only be answered in a global context. These questions, which relate to only a few of the social and economic challenges of the future, are linked together within a highly complex web of interrelationships. Given their responsibility for reliable information, sound, independent reporting and extensive research, the media play an extremely important role in this context. International conferences and forums — like the Deutsche Welle Global Media Forum — serve to heighten awareness of the role and responsibility of the media. The Sparkasse KölnBonn (Savings Bank Cologne/Bonn) is pleased to provide support in various forms to initiatives and projects that resonate and establish Bonn as a city devoted to dialogue on issues of global importance. One such initiative is the Foundation for International Dialogue of the Savings Bank in Bonn, which serves as co-host to the Deutsche Welle Global Media Forum, with its renowned speakers and numerous international guests. On behalf of the Foundation, I wish you all stimulating discussions, novel ideas and new perspectives to take home with you and develop further in your home regions and discuss with others within the framework of global networks.
Artur Grzesiek Chairman of the Executive Board of the Foundation for International Dialogue of the Savings Bank in Bonn and Chairman of the Executive Board of the Sparkasse KölnBonn, Germany

Message from the German Federal Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development Message from the host
Erik Bettermann Every day there are reports in the media about the negative
© photothek
impact of economic growth on the environment in industrialized and emerging economies. Examples of the widening gap between rich and poor and the growing income disparity between nations and within societies abound. And there are still more than 1.2 billion people living in extreme poverty. Their only chance of escape depends on the economic prospects within their reach, based on the premise of growth. For the least developed countries – which, so far, have contributed least to the world’s environmental problems – the debate is less about whether or not to pursue economic growth and more about "how". Lessons can be learned from the last few decades. The most sustainable way to create prosperity for all is through economic growth that benefits a large part of the population without impinging on the environment or burdening future generations. The Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (Bundesministerium für wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung – BMZ) supports its partner countries on their path toward that kind of environmentally and socially sustainable economic growth. The private sector is vital in that, and the Ministry supports the efforts of private businesses to embrace their social and environmental responsibilities. In the political debate, the BMZ emphasizes the need to discuss how economic, social and environmental imperatives can be reconciled instead of flatly rejecting growth. The Ministry described this valuebased understanding of the economy in a recent information brochure called "Green Economy". However, the media also play an important role. By reporting on social and environmental best practices or exposing misconduct, they are an essential part of public opinion-making. Online media, such as social networks and internet forums, are not only a source of information, but also give people a platform to air their views and have their say in decision-making. I’m glad that so many young people in particular use online media to engage in debate about global challenges, such as achieving sustainable growth, and discuss possible solutions. The topic of this year’s Global Media Forum is very fitting and I’m glad the BMZ is able to play an active part it in. I wish you all productive talks about the role of the media in shaping the future of growth and I look forward to hearing about the ideas and projects that arise from this forum. Dirk Niebel, Federal Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development, Germany 10
Global Media Forum
Message from Message from the Co-Host the Co-operation Partner Forty-one years ago, the Club of Rome presented the study The Limits to Growth. Since then, the debate on the natural limits of our economies has occupied international committees, governments, political parties, civil society, science and the media. The environmental dependency of our economy and its growth is the subject of scientific research, but also affects the interests of many powerful actors: commercial enterprises and associations, nations and social classes. Ultimately, this subject is relevant to the entirety of present and future humanity. It raises issues regarding ethics, law and culture, as well as questions concerning societal structures, political decision-making and concrete administrative organization. The requisite decisions on direction are not durably possible without societal legitimacy. However, legitimacy can only arise from public debate. Two groups of actors are of particular importance in order to make public a subject such as growth in a society: the media and civil society organizations. Civil society actors are the key catalyst when it comes to reorienting societies. They are often the vanguard for criticizing erroneous social developments and the pioneers of new approaches. With the Global Media Forum, Deutsche Welle enables international exchange between media professionals and experts from the fields of science, politics, culture and civil society. In doing so, Deutsche Welle renders a major contribution beyond its regular broadcasting toward establishing an international audience for the respective conference topics. In the past, non-governmental organizations were still underrepresented at the annual series, although the conference topics were undoubtedly also relevant to them right from the start. To strengthen their role, the Foundation for Environment and Development North Rhine-Westphalia (Stiftung Umwelt und Entwicklung Nordrhein-Westfalen) has joined Deutsche Welle as a cooperation partner to help develop the direction of this year’s Global Media Forum. We wish all the participants an insightful conference with many good discussions and impulses for their day-to-day work.

Representing the city of Bonn, where Deutsche Welle has been located for the past ten years, Mayor Jürgen Nimptsch will extend his congratulations. Dr. Marc Jan Eumann, State Secretary in the Ministry of Federal Affairs, European Affairs and Media of North Rhine-Westphalia, the German state which has been home to Deutsche Welle since its founding, will also commemorate the event.

Speaking on behalf of the consortium will be Lutz Marmor, ARD Chairman and Director-General of Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR).

Society and Transparency: Is Modern Data Driven Journalism a Big Leap Forward?
Digitization has created new opportunities for journalistic research and presentation. Data journalists raise the potential of the media to fulfill its function as society’s watchdog in regard to economics and politics. They use digital tools to quickly browse huge amounts of data and reveal new facts and conclusions to their audience. This panel will give an overview of the state of the art in data-driven journalism and show best practice examples from Costa Rica, Germany and elsewhere.

Youth Employment — Translating Challenges into Opportunities
There are about 1.2 billion youth in the world aged 15 to 24. Nearly 75 million of them are looking for a job. Such a sizable demographic is an opportunity for growth but can also become a source of instability if youth unemployment and discouragement are not addressed. Young men and women have been in the spotlight ever since the economic crisis revealed its hefty impact on youth employment. Stimulus packages, consultations, and private and public investments in youth programs have become the vogue. Despite the response to the crisis, the global rate of youth unemployment remained at 12.6 percent in 2012, unchanged from 2011 and one percentage point above the rate reported in 2007. Some countries, like Spain, have in fact seen higher youth unemployment rates since the height of the economic crisis in 2009. Discouraged by the high statistics, many young people have given up their job search altogether or decided to postpone it and instead stay within the education system. This workshop will present the global employment trends for young people in 2013, analyze the labor market situation with a specific focus on discouraged youth who are not in employment, education or training (NEET), and discuss policies and programs that can address the youth employment challenge. The workshop is hosted by the Youth Employment Network (YEN), an inter-agency program of the United Nations, the International Labour Organization and the World Bank. It will be a highly interactive session to engage media representatives, policy makers, donors, and researchers in a discussion about youth employment.

Economic Growth and Peace — The Chicken or the Egg?
Does a country’s economic growth ensure development and progress for its people? Or do improvements to peace lead to economic progress? With the rise of new economies, such as Brazil, India, and South Africa, these relationships are now in question. Will the emergence of new economies ensure greater human security for the world? Or does newly gained economic influence bring with it international political aspirations that go against the human security interests of local populations? During this workshop, the just-released 2013 Global Peace Index will be used as a lens to look at the peacefulness of Brazil, India and South Africa - countries that are often hailed as success stories in breaking through the economic hegemony of the West. Were increases in GDP accompanied by increased peacefulness? And do these numbers and statistics paint a good picture of the reality on the ground? These and other questions will be discussed in this workshop, organized by the Global Partnership for the Prevention of Armed Conflict (GPPAC) and the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP). GPPAC members from Brazil, India and South Africa will provide a view from the street of the relationship between their country’s peacefulness and its economic development, telling the story behind the numbers and discussing the priorities for policy makers to ensure that human security matches economic progress. The IEP is responsible for the development of the annual Global Peace Index (GPI), a ground-breaking milestone in the study of peace. GPPAC is a global network of civil society organizations working on conflict prevention and peacebuilding.

Skills for Sustainable Growth Through Networking
The 2012 UNESCO Global Monitoring Report on “Youth and Skills” estimates that every dollar spent on educating a young person will bring back between 10 and 15 dollars in economic growth during that person’s working life as an adult. Investments in education are investments in progress and sustainable future growth. Conversely, low-quality education and training come with a high cost: Mismatches between young graduates’ skills and labor market demands translate into high youth unemployment. This can lead to social unrest, as uprisings in the Arab States have shown. In times of economic crisis, countries are now required to turn to quality education that encompasses notions of sustainability instead of banking solely on quantity. Quality technical and vocational education and training (TVET) can be an effective tool to tackle global unemployment, especially for youth, and can ensure sustainable growth. As UNESCO’s specialized agency for technical and vocational education and training, UNESCO-UNEVOC serves as the hub of a network of institutions working closely together on developing and improving the skills people need to address economic challenges of the future. Along with some of its network members and partners, UNESCO-UNEVOC will discuss the issue of youth skills for sustainable growth from different perspectives and present some of the projects that have been initiated among the members of its network. The workshop will give examples of successful cooperation that has taken place across the globe to improve the possibilities for young people to successfully transition from education to employment. The following questions will guide the discussion: - What skills do young people need to thrive in the workplace? - How can young workers be sensitized to issues of sustainability at the workplace? - What are the right skills needed to sustain growth? - What are examples of successful South-South cooperation within the UNEVOC network? 34

News for Social Change: Media’s Emerging Value Proposition
How can quality news media be sustained? Because of tectonic technological and cultural shifts, more information is now available to more people at lower cost than ever before. That is, per se, a massively democratizing phenomenon. But it has also undermined the traditional business models that have, in many parts of the world, ensured a free and fair press. Tomorrow’s news organizations cannot survive simply by reporting and distributing information. Instead they will thrive by moving to higher-value activities, such as helping people to advance their lives, engage powerfully in their communities and society — and, ultimately, bring about change. Sustainability will hinge on creating critical linkages between sense-making and action, between media and movement. That means journalists must investigate potential solutions in addition to exposing underlying problems. Publishers must connect knowledge to participation, create communities of problem-solvers, and turn readers into change-makers. A truly engaged audience will yield both social impact and higher economic value. Such a shift requires news organizations to reconsider the role of journalists who historically have uncovered the facts and rooted out truth, but have intentionally distanced themselves from whatever happened as a result. Editors will participate in ‘downstream’ activities that link them to community needs and social solutions. Advertisers and sponsors will pay for evidence of engagement and social impact, not just page views. And investors, as well, will consider new metrics that gauge a publisher’s ability to catalyze change. This session will explore emerging solutions for media sustainability, focusing on the valuable linkages between knowledge and activation. Panelists will include social entrepreneurs who are tackling this new paradigm head-on, confronting the tension between audience engagement and conventional journalistic values and weighing the balance between social and financial impact. 36

Energy Policy and Economic Growth — Conflict or Convergence?
Over the long term, sustainable economic growth needs a sustainable energy supply. Good economic governance incorporating energy policy is likewise obliged to maintain prosperity and environmental welfare. High energy prices that weigh heavily on household income and fossil fuels that damage the climate are two burdens on society. An intelligent economic model must counteract these lines of conflict and provide room for the many interdependencies between economic factors, environmental needs and a secure energy supply. The ways energy is now produced show the impact of energy policy on economic performance. Given the world’s growing energy demand, especially in emerging economies, some countries are traveling the renewables route to create an environmentally sustainable supply and ensure resource-friendly growth. Others are investing heavily in new technologies to tap into previously hard-to-access reserves, such as shale gas, to secure their domestic energy supply and preserve dynamic growth. The ecological effects of such policy take a backseat, although their costs to the environment and the economy can run quite high. These different paths of energy policy could implicitly lead to different economic models. The one focuses on combining economic and environment considerations now to transform economic activity. The other is set on using the fossil resources now available to preserve economic structures. That’s what the majority of nations are doing in pursuit of a quick fix. They don’t see renewables as an economically attractive option. A global green economy, it would appear, is merely Utopian. What are the effects of interaction between a country’s energy policy and its economic strategy? How can economic and environmental needs be reconciled? And what does the nature of national energy policy say about a country’s economic values? This workshop will provide a forum for panelists and audience members to discuss these and related questions. 38

Digital Storytelling — A Message in a Nutshell
Digital storytelling shows how the efficient implementation of media can enhance the presentation, delivery and distribution of content. Abstract or complex topics that require explanation can be expressed in convincing, understandable and unique ways using methods of digital storytelling. A narrative becomes a digital story by combining audio recordings, images and/or film elements. This workshop will portray the development of individual digital stories on topics related to the conference theme. It will demonstrate how a story can be presented in just two to three minutes, in approximately 250 words, and still achieve the intended effect. The stories will deal with certain aspects of sustainable economics, such as human rights, working conditions and environmental concerns. The main objective of the workshop is to inform the audience about the hardware and software typically used for digital storytelling and to introduce the methodology alongside its technical realization. Participants will be able to follow the entire procedure, from the original idea to the final product, thereby gaining detailed insight into the methods of digital storytelling.

Latin American Television: Relaying Values in an Era of Growth
The media landscape in Latin America has been decisively shaped in the past 20 years not only by new developments in multimedia, but especially by large growth in pay TV markets and an ever expanding selection of audio-visual products. The commercial media have been going through a consolidation and privatization process for the past few years, and today they share the TV market with products that distinguish themselves by emphasizing educational and cultural issues. Most of these are publicly financed ventures that serve to endorse culture, community development and social values. How do these cultural and educational products deal with a constantly changing and developing TV market characterized by growing competition, economic imperatives, and new legal and technological frameworks that need to be addressed with limited resources? Additionally, how do they influence the audience’s perceptions, given the complexities of expressing values and educational content? Finally, how is the long-term survival of these products ensured in an audio-visual market where maintaining a positive appearance is essential?

Europe, an Economic Tale. The Current Financial Crisis as Seen from Europe and Beyond
Economic imbalances in the eurozone, along with the political heat generated by the financial and debt crisis, have refocused attention not only on the monetary and structural aspects of economic activity, but also on cultural factors. Credit ratings seem to be reinforcing outdated stereotypes, which at times have found questionable resonance in the media and public opinion. How do both Europeans and observers outside Europe perceive the political and economic tensions in Europe? What can be said about the consequences of and reactions to the economic policies implemented by national governments and the EU? What are the options for action? Of interest are not only different cultures and their management of economies, but also how they compare with other economic zones and alliances.

Visibility for the Vulnerable: The Face of Humanity on the Move in Search of a Livelihood
Human beings have been on the move, fleeing deprivation and in search of a livelihood since the earliest moments of our history. Such movements of peoples always involve encounters, tension, conflicting resource needs and even violent clashes. Yet it is these same movements that have engendered inter-cultural encounter, exchange and growth of knowledge, art, science, and the development of modern civilizations. As we face a global economic crisis, and focus on economic stimulation, this panel will examine the drive for economic growth from another perspective. The many facets of migration are increasingly at the top of the political agenda and the media play a huge and influential role in shaping the way in which issues linked to migration are discussed. The media can have a positive impact on the debate by revealing the truth behind the statistics. Too often, however, they contribute to a climate of opinion which relies on easy stereotypes and half-truths. Within the wider context of finding economic solutions, the panel will explore and question how the media portray the images of some of the most vulnerable members of humanity today. The media’s responsibility to make the vulnerable visible includes highlighting the struggles and challenges of migrants, victims of trafficking, refugees and other marginalized groups. The workshop will consider how media professionals and institutions can improve their practices so that vulnerable voices are heard and faces seen, and so that they are portrayed and reported in the media as accurately and truthfully as possible.

Building Skills for Sustainable Growth
In the course of globalization, many corporations from industrialized countries have established branches in developing and emerging economies. They often find it difficult to find specialized personnel there. In many cases that’s due to inadequate education systems, especially for skills training and follow-on education. So in a variety of ways, companies are themselves training and certifying local people for the vacancies they need to fill. They are also investing in local education systems to promote sustainable employment. This workshop will consider ways to expand and improve vocational and occupational training. Development cooperation, commerce and media experts will present projects to drive sustainable progress of education in developing and emerging countries. How can their training and job markets be directed toward sustainable job creation and economic growth? Which didactic training models have produced positive results in practice and embrace young people’s interests? And what role can international media take to convey knowledge?

Development Without Growth Without Regrets
Fifteen percent of the world population have successfully completed the transition from an agrarian to an industrial (and now post-industrial) society, in the course of the process exhausting the capacity of global CO2 sinks, overburdening the global nitrogen cycle and worst of all, accelerating the loss of biodiversity by a factor of 100. Currently 60 percent of the world’s population are undergoing the same transition from agricultural to industrial societies, so far mainly following the Northern development trajectory. However, this will lead to the abortion of development due to a lack of physical inputs, to degrowth by disaster, and more probably to collapse the later we begin to change course. This workshop will examine the parameters of post-growth policy and the potential for redistributing property, income and consumption in favor of the poor, which form the basis for convergence toward sustainability within the limits of the planet.

Green Economy — A New Economic Miracle?
How can we achieve growth without exhausting resources? Is a green economy the right choice? Many claim that it will save the world. It promises sustainable growth and responsible development. But can it really keep that promise? The aim is to introduce patterns of production and consumption that ensure prosperity and a high quality of life for generations to come. Policy makers are already dreaming of a ‘green economic miracle’. But is it a viable vision that can be taken seriously? Or does the goal of a green economy as announced at the Rio+20 conference only serve to obscure the fact that policy-makers have run out of ideas in the face of today’s global challenges? The green economy is a trendy concept, but often it merely describes goals without providing any concrete guidance for action. Meanwhile, contemporary lifestyles and business activities are causing global resources to dwindle ever more rapidly. So is the green economy just a scam? The workshop will explore such questions as: How can countries achieve growth without overexploiting natural resources? Must rich societies learn to do without? Is it enough to change consumption patterns? Can companies renounce growth without losing their competitive edge? Experts from politics, research and business will discuss the prospects of a green economy and consider whether and how research can enable a new, green global economic miracle.

Health Innovations: From Motorcycle Pharmacies to OpenSource Medical Software
The healthier and stronger people are, the more they can contribute to economic growth. If life expectancy is high, they can look forward to full, productive lives and contribute to their societies’ future. Too often, however, health care in developing countries is quite poor. Sometimes even the most basic necessities are lacking. In remote rural regions the situation is particularly dire. Creative solutions are needed. Sometimes, very simple ideas — or ones that seem inconceivable in industrialized countries —deliver good outcomes for the disadvantaged. Motorcycle pharmacies are reaching the most remote villages. E-learning opportunities are educating midwives and doctors. And modern communication technology is enabling the text messaging of lab reports, mail networking systems for doctors and open-source software to register patient records. This panel will present and discuss effective initiatives and ideas around different parts of the world.

Advancing Values in Business — The Case of Integrity
For public institutions, the private sector and civil society, corruption poses one of the most pressing challenges of our time. Resources are misallocated and competition is distorted. It hinders innovation and development at the national level but also within individual businesses. Corruption cripples economies and promotes political instability as well as poverty, especially in developing countries. There is broad consensus on the multitude of negative effects of corruption. As a result, the will to vigorously fight corruption is increasing globally. As corruption reaches into and affects all sectors of society, collective action has proven to be an effective concept for addressing this multifaceted problem. Collective action as defined by the World Bank Institute is a “collaborative and sustained process of cooperation among stakeholders that increases the impact and credibility of individual action, brings vulnerable individual players into an alliance of like-minded organizations and levels the playing field between competitors”. Designed as a multi-stakeholder initiative, the UN Global Compact (UNGC) strongly supports collective action activities to enhance integrity in business conduct. The UN Global Compact and its local networks contribute to the fight against corruption by providing a platform for learning and dialogue and by offering guidance to companies on how to implement the tenth Global Compact principle (anti-corruption). This workshop will explore the possibilities and challenges of collective action in the fight against corruption. It will showcase examples and outline the possible roles of various stakeholders in this context. The panel will feature experts from business and civil society as well as international journalists. The German Global Compact Network will facilitate the discussion with the audience.

Pay TV in Latin America: Where Will the Growth End?
Market penetration of pay TV in Latin America has been steadily increasing in recent decades and there is no indication that growth is coming to an end. Presently there are around 56 million pay TV subscribers in Latin America and numerous studies have pegged that number to climb. There has also been a marked increase in the number of Latin American pay TV channels in recent years. Countries like Colombia and Argentina show a market penetration of over 80 percent where there are hundreds of programs available to subscribers of leading pay TV providers. Growth indicators are a result of better content and technological advances. More and more channels are being offered in HD quality. Innovative services that allow programming on new devices are making content more attractive and easier to access. However, we still must consider the effects of these developments on consumer behavior. Does more variety mean more quality information for regular users of pay TV? Furthermore, what are the most important indicators of continued growth? This panel will take a close look at the situation in the most significant pay TV markets in Latin America. The discussion will focus on the possibilities as well as the limitations of pay TV in this strategically important part of the world.

Global Sustainability Goals — The Way Forward in Shaping Transformation Towards a More Equitable, Just and Sustainable World?
The present framework of international development goals centering on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the strategies based on them do not provide adequate answers to the global problems, be they global warming or the growing gap between rich and poor. The debate on a ’Post-2015 Agenda’, as well as the agreement by governments at the Rio+20 Conference to start an intergovernmental process of formulating Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), now offer the opportunity to readdress holistic concepts of prosperity and progress in society. What might an integrated system of global sustainability goals look like? What are the principles and normative foundations of a Post-2015 Agenda? What lessons can be learned from the MDG experience? How could global sustainability goals be embedded in a rights-based approach to development and a system of fair burden-sharing? And what accountability mechanisms must be put in place? This workshop will present and discuss the findings of the Civil Society Reflection Group on Global Development Perspectives and its proposal for a Framework of Universal Sustainability Goals as Part of a Post-2015 Agenda. The workshop will be moderated by Jens Martens, the director of Global Policy Forum Europe.

Avram Noam Chomsky: A Roadmap to a Just World — People Reanimating Democracy
Widely considered to be an intellectual father of the Occupy movement, renowned U. S. linguist and philosopher Noam Chomsky has often spoken out about the balance of power between rich and poor as well as between the world’s economies and ecology. In a special guest appearance at the Global Media Forum he will emphasize how citizens can revive democracy and how this process is challenging the media. Chomsky’s latest publication, ‘Occupy’, is a collection of his speeches given to globalization critics that give compelling context to the recent protest movements addressing social and economic imbalances around the world. In the word’s of the editor, “In his talks, Chomsky points out that one of the movement’s greatest successes has been simply to put the inequalities of everyday life on the national agenda, influencing reporting, public perception and language itself.”

Global Governance: Blueprint for a Sustainable World Economy?
Globalization constantly poses new challenges to international policymaking. Individual states feel overwhelmed by the task of single-handedly addressing global problems. International interventions are obviously needed. Dirk Messner, Director of the German Development Institute (Deutsches Institut für Entwicklungspolitik — DIE) and an expert on globalization, agrees. He says it is crucial to discuss “how approaches to global problem-solving could be progressed in the direction of global governance architecture and which factors stand in its way”. There are many pressing issues on the global agenda, such as climate change and its consequences for humankind and nature (climate refugees, rising sea levels, declining biodiversity), the regulation of international financial markets, scarce resources, poverty and hunger, to name just a few. Processes of globalization are blurring the lines between domestic and foreign policy. Security, environmental and development policies are becoming more intermeshed. The structural design of global policy is changing, even more so by varying, politically-motivated interpretations of the concept of global governance. Some insist on more scope for political determination while others prioritize independent, business-driven trade structures. Nevertheless, both variations are eager to constrain national egotisms through international regulations and involve non-governmental stakeholders more closely in international negotiation processes. How can global governance help to implement the aims of sustainable development, social justice, environmental protection and democratic participation? Given their contrasting objectives, is an alliance between social movements and major global economic players even possible? What role do the media have in this context and what position will they take in the course of their own reorientation? The plenary session on the second day of the DW Global Media Forum will explore these and related questions.

Dr Guido Westerwelle German Federal Minister for Foreign Affairs
Following his speech, Germany’s Federal Minister for Foreign Affairs will take part in an open plenary discussion. In his well-received keynote speech last year, Westerwelle said he believed that “the contest of education systems will determine globalization”. He added that “the most important natural resource is no longer to be found under our feet but in our heads”. And: “There is globalization in competition and trade, imports and exports, in the exchange of goods and services – but also in values.” Keynote address and discussion Dr Guido Westerwelle German Federal Minister for Foreign Affairs

Beyond GDP: Inclusive Measures of Economic Progress
The congruence of unprecedented economic, social and environmental crises calls for a revaluation of our present measures of progress. Current indicators, such as Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and the Human Development Index (HDI), are insufficient to provide robust indication of societal progress. They fail, for instance, to inform on distributional aspects of economic growth; to reflect the state of natural resources; and to indicate whether national policies are sustainable in the long run. In this context, the workshop aims at discussing new indicators of societal progress based on three international initiatives: - The Inclusive Growth Project, which works towards achieving material progress through economic growth while encompassing equity, equal opportunity to basic service provision, and social protection for the most vulnerable people of society. - The Inclusive Wealth Report 2012 (IWR 2012) that presents a promising economic yardstick, the Inclusive Wealth Index (IWI). Grounded in theory and research, the IWR 2012 proposes a radical shift in the way we measure economic progress: switching the analysis from ‘flows’ (like GDP) to ‘stocks’ of capital assets (or wealth). In the report, the wealth of nations is evaluated in an inclusive way by considering not only manufactured capital, but also human and natural capital. Twenty countries were assessed in the IWR 2012, including high, middle and low-income economies over a period of 19 years (1990 –2008). The IWR 2012 is the first of a series of reports that will be published every two years. - The Economics of Land Degradation (ELD), which is an initiative for a global study on the economic benefits of land use and land-based ecosystems. The vision of the ELD initiative is to transform the global understanding of the value of land and build support for sustainable management practices. These are critical matters to prevent the loss of natural capital, preserve ecosystem services for society, combat climate change as well as its relevance for food, energy and water security issues. 70

Mobile for Development — Is Scale What Matters?
According to the GSM Assocation (GSMA), there are 3.2 billion unique active mobile subscriptions worldwide. While the ubiquity of mobile phones has undeniable potential in terms of reach and access to support human and economic development, many projects are learning the hard way that mobile isn’t simply a magic bullet solution. Mobile technology in and of itself will not lead to development. Nonetheless, initiatives need to carefully consider program design for effective adoption and sustainability. There is increasing awareness that technology for development needs to evolve from local entrepreneurship and be founded on the recognition of local needs. Debates in the Mobiles for Development (M4D) sphere will inevitably encounter the question of scale: Is it true that without scale most projects remain experiments with limited real impact, or do local initiatives maintain deeper relevance when targeted at a limited audience focused on local populations? By drawing on best practice and learning from previous mistakes, this session will explore the opportunities mobile communications offer to advance human and economic development. From BBC Media Action’s delivery of mHealth services in India, to Daraja’s work in Tanzania to ensure local government responsibility in the delivery of public services, the panel will consider the consequences of mobile telephony for access to health and government initiatives. Reflecting on The Guardian’s full time coverage of a development project in the small village of Katine, Uganda, and their ongoing interaction with a growing community through The Global Development Professionals’ Network, the session will explore how, arguably, the future of media interaction is not digital; it’s mobile.

Freedom of Information — The Role of Transparency in Economic and Social Development
Free access to information is not only elementary to the right of freedom of expression but also fundamental to the exercise and realization of numerous social and economic human rights. For people to be knowledgeable about the way their countries are run, about their own rights and to enable them to participate in shaping policies and politics, they require publicly held information. Such information affects their lives and with it they can demand change and effectuate improvement with regard to distributive justice, questions of service delivery and many other things. People need to be informed about the natural resource industry, the use and distribution of its profits, about dispossessions and compensation schemes, about the application — or non-compliance —of labor and environmental standards, about public investment, infrastructure and public building plans, about the guidelines and targets of public service providers and the policies of numerous other crucial sectors such as health, education, social services and labor markets. Freedom of information is thus the prerequisite for people’s effective participation in the political, social and economic affairs of their countries and directly benefits socioeconomic development and the efficiency of government. While these mechanisms apply the world over, they are especially prevalent in societies undergoing significant transformation and characterized by extreme inequalities and insufficient systems of checks and balances. In these societies, freedom of information will help to direct changes towards the general public good. This panel will explore the role of freedom of information in the social and economic development of countries in general and the extractive industries in particular. It will look at questions of vested interests, transparency and good governance.

Occupy the Future: Social Movements, Social Media and the Fight for Economic Justice
States around the world have been battered by economic crisis — and not for the first time. Up till now it was mostly the familiar entities who took it upon themselves to analyze and manage such crises — governments, institutions, corporations and conventional media outlets. They observed and evaluated the processes, explaining the big picture to predominantly passive populations. But the latest economic crisis has a new element in the equation: Citizens taking action. Around the globe, people are using social networks and technologies to launch initiatives to alleviate poverty, hold governments accountable, join forces, and develop their own campaigns. In the United States, the Occupy movement spawned the Rolling Jubilee fund, which buys and strikes the debt of overburdened people. In Germany, a start-up called “fraisr” aims to support good causes while helping people shop and turn a profit. For each product bought on the online marketplace, a share of the proceeds goes toward a project or non-governmental organization. The initiators call their concept “Commerce with a Cause”. How can people use the Internet to effectively and sustainably put their ideas of alleviating social and economic imbalances to work? What opportunities do social media channels have for these new social movements? And what are their limits? The workshop will focus on these and related issues from a variety of perspectives.

Changing Development — The “Developing Country D” Campaign and the BRICS Countries
Natural laws can’t be breached, so the dominant model of development is reaching its limits. What should development achieve and with what means? That’s a question faced all over the world. The wealthy delude themselves that they are entitled to all they have, when in reality their wealth is largely based on exploiting humankind and nature. For many years, a regional organization in Germany called “Eine Welt Netz” (One World Network) has campaigned in the state of NorthRhine Westphalia (NRW) to shift people’s perception of prosperity and growth. The campaign is called “Entwicklungsland D” (“Developing Country D”). But the world at large also needs a new model of economic development. The SÜDWIND Institute for Economics and Ecumenism has long explored this. What impact can Germany and the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) have on new forms of development?

Tigers on Air: New Players in Developing Media Markets
Emerging countries and new economies, such as the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) countries and others, appear to be role models for growth and are regarded by many as the new drivers of development. They also play an increasingly active role as new stakeholders in business and to some extent as donors in South-South cooperation. The question remains, however, whether growth alone can ensure human development. Experts, civil society groups, activists and citizens increasingly argue in favor of a concept of inclusive growth. The central question in the context of development cooperation is how to develop strategies that improve political frameworks of growth and enable human development. The notion of growth focuses on economies, trade, jobs and industries, and subsequently the entire private sector. It is seen as an important driver of development cooperation and a crucial success factor for tackling the challenges of globalization. The concept of growth claims to provide a driving philosophy for future global cooperation as a whole. The panel will focus on questions regarding new players, their influence on media businesses and markets in developing countries and the long-term consequences for media support: - What is the actual impact of new players in media development cooperation in the target countries? - Media markets in emerging countries are dynamic and commercially vibrant — do they subsequently provide useful role models for media in developing countries? - What image do media in emerging countries present regarding their domestic cooperation strategies? - What role do they play as actors in developing countries’ media markets, for example Brazil in Angola and China in Kenya? 80

Realizing Financial Inclusion: The Importance of Microfinance for Economic Empowerment
Some 2.7 billion people do not have access to formal financial services. They have no bank account, are excluded from formal money transfers, savings and insurance products, and have no access to loans to expand their businesses. Policy makers around the world, such as the G20 leaders, are committed to improving access to finance. They recognize the importance of financial inclusion for poverty alleviation and economic development. How can financial inclusion support development? What are the challenges and what evidence is there concerning the positive impact of microfinance? What efforts are being made to provide microfinance services in a responsible way? This workshop organized by the German Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development and the Savings Banks Foundation for International Cooperation will bring together a group of experts from various parts of the globe to discuss these questions and share their views and perspectives with audience members. The workshop’s objective is to discuss the role of financial services with a social mandate in promoting economic growth and development. Microfinance has recently been criticized as being too focused on commercial interests. The concept of microfinance has changed over the past few decades. Many microfinance institutions generate profits or at least cover their own costs. They pursue both commercial and social objectives. Nowadays microfinance encompasses much more than microcredit. Equally important are the opportunities to save, insure against risk and safely transfer money. Protecting clients has become more important, for example through transparent pricing and customer training and counseling. German development cooperation has been supporting responsible microfinance for many years. Governments and financial institutions across the world are making efforts to improve clients’ financial education and establishing adequate regulation of the microfinance market. Microfinance is neither good nor bad, it is a tool. The workshop will discuss how it can be employed to promote development. 82

Keeping an Eye on the Boom: Investigative Journalists in Emerging Economies
Economies in East and Southeast Asia have experienced decades of rapid growth, with GDPs climbing up to 7-10 percent per year. But this growth has taken place mainly uncontrolled and has often come at a high cost to the environment and society. Some countries in Africa are now on the brink of making the same mistakes by expanding their economies and markets while disregarding social and environmental impacts. Media could play an important role in pointing this out, but journalists in Asia and Africa alike are often confronted with obstacles as they face restrictions imposed either by governments or powerful multinational corporations. Investigative journalism could play an important role in raising awareness and revising public opinion regarding unknown social and environmental risks. How do investigative journalists work in such environments? How do they obtain and publish information, given the frequency of corruption, censorship and personal threats? The panel will give insight into the everyday struggles of investigative journalists in booming countries. The panelists will showcase their work and discuss how they manage to overcome obstacles to pursue their profession.

Green Transformation and the Future of Growth
Citius, altius, fortius — the Latin motto meaning “Faster, Higher, Stronger” figuratively describes the ambitions of millions of people to achieve a better way of life through more consumption, better food, bigger cars, nicer houses and more leisure time. As a result, greenhouse gas emissions rise each year to new record highs, despite the commitments agreed in Kyoto in 1997 to reduce them. And although renewable energy sources now attract more investment than conventional energy sources, there has been a renaissance of coal in the 21st century. Fossil fuels still provide more than 80 percent of the world’s energy supply. What must be done to build a sustainable path to the future without destroying our livelihood? Various green transformation concepts have recently called for inclusive green growth (World Bank, 2012), green growth and development (OECD, 2012), a green economy (UNEP, 2011) or even a great transformation and a social contract for sustainability (WBGU, 2011). Can growth be sustainable? Do we need it? Do these concepts offer realistic solutions for a sustainable future? Where do they overlap and where do they differ in their solutions? What are the next steps to securing a sustainable future for a global population heading toward 9 billion by 2050? These and related questions will be addressed by a panel of high-level experts in this workshop organized by the German Development Institute/Deutsches Institut für Entwicklungspolitik (DIE) — Germany’s leading think tank for development policy.

Reform of the UN and the World Economy
According to estimates by British economist Angus Maddison, average income increased by a mere 50 percent in the period between Christ and 1820. That is the equivalent of what has been achieved by the German economy in the last 25 years. Since the end of World War II, global GDP increased approximately elevenfold, although world population more than doubled, and average life expectancy grew from 47 years in 1950 to 68 years today. In the developing world, the number of people living in extreme poverty has more than halved, despite strong population growth in most of these countries. All these are impressive gains, resulting from dynamic development of market forces and supportive governmental policies. Yet the development of the economic and global governance systems themselves have seen some major turns. The post-war era of reconstruction in Europe and the achievement of political sovereignty of many developing countries were characterized by a strong role of the development state, placing particular emphasis on the creation or improvement of infrastructure and the meeting of essential and basic consumer demands. Economic growth translated into increasing incomes of virtually all parts of the population because of a largely just income distribution. However, the type of growth was very much extensive, i. e. resource intensive and environmentally damaging. With very few exceptions, most industrializing countries relied on raw material supply and countries dependent on commodity export in the periphery. At the same time, the global environmental crisis, in particular the apocalyptic implications of global warming, require a re-thinking of the growth paradigm and mankind’s co-existence with nature. What has been the role of the UN system in global economic governance in recent decades? Has the organization been effective in contributing to a constructive global dialogue on the development challenges? How does the UN system deal 88

with the development aspirations in the global South? Confronted with the current crises, is the world economy at a crossroads or are we merely encountering more potholes than usual?

Sustaining Rural Journalism: Why Preserving Small-Town Newspapers, Radio, and Television Matters in a Rural Economy
The global economy hinges on the health of the local economy. The buying and selling of goods in local markets and shops is foundational to global economic health and viability. Preserving information systems at a hyper-local level preserves, promotes and sustains cultural traditions, participatory democracy, religious identity and a sense of community. While it may seem easy to dismiss the relevance of weekly newspapers, low-power radio stations and public access television programming, these media outlets are vitally important to local audiences. This workshop will explore rural journalism and its economic viability. Panelists will facilitate a discussion of topics ranging from successful models for sustaining rural media outlets and how they serve hyper-local audiences through to the types of information rural audiences desire and the regulations that impact public access broadcasting. Additionally the panel will explore the challenges of operating rural media organizations. The workshop will focus on a dialogue between the panelists and participants in an effort to explore the issues facing journalists operating in rural areas and the obstacles they face in the current marketplace.

Goodbye GDP, Hello GDW (Well-Being)?
For many decades, gross domestic product has been the main indicator used by national and international institutions to define and measure progress. This focus on economic growth fails to capture many factors which affect people’s lives. Safety, health, equity, a feeling of community and a clean environment are all important in determining our well-being. Over the last decade, a number of countries and institutions have set out to identify alternative ways to measure the progress of societies: from a commission led by some of the world’s most renowned economists — Stiglitz, Sen, Fitoussi, to Germany setting up a parliamentary committee on “Growth, prosperity and the quality of life,” to Bhutan, whose King declared that gross national happiness is more important than gross national product. But are we ready to say goodbye GDP and hello GDW (well-being)? As an organization whose mission it is to help governments design better policies for better lives, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is equally interested in understanding what drives the well-being of people and nations. Its “Better Life Index” (BLI), an interactive online instrument that invites users to create their own Better Life indexes, was launched to engage citizens in the ongoing effort to identify key drivers of well-being. Since people are encouraged to share their results, this is also a way for the OECD to learn what really matters to them. But this is not enough to drive policy change. What role can the OECD, the media, private sector, civil society and other actors play in translating academic rhetoric into action in language that encourages engagement and participation? This workshop will try to shed light on these and other questions, drawing upon the experience and expertise of panellists.

Water in a Changing World of Growth Opportunities
Water is the common denominator across all aspects of inclusive green growth, such as poverty reduction, food and energy security, industrial growth, and protection of ecosystems. But water security remains elusive in many countries. At the local level, recent changes in demography and landscape — from urbanization to climate change — have increased the demand for water and have degraded water supplies. At the global level, ongoing financial, food, and energy crises have amplified water challenges. Losses from water-related disasters are reversing the patterns of growth and development achieved over the past decades. In this rapidly changing world, there are sizable opportunities for water investments that can generate massive benefits for populations and countries. Governments and businesses are realizing that smart investments in water resources and water services can drive growth while reducing poverty and adverse economic impacts. This workshop aims to demonstrate that innovative policy, technology and business solutions exist. However, what must governments do to reform policy? How can development organizations strengthen their support? How can business pursue longer-term investment opportunities in water?

Gender Equitable Economic Development
In an increasingly globalized and interconnected world, utilizing all social and economic assets is crucial for success. Yet, despite progress, women continue to face discrimination, marginalization and exclusion. Empowering women to participate fully in economic life across all sectors and throughout all levels of economic activity is essential to building strong economies, achieving internationally agreed goals for development, sustainability and human rights and improving quality of life for women and men. Women still have difficulties accessing leading positions. In Germany, for instance, only 3.7 percent of board members are women, according to the latest studies. This workshop will focus on the Women’s Empowerment Principles, a set of principles for business offering guidance on how to empower women in the workplace, marketplace and community. They are the result of collaboration between the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women) and the United Nations Global Compact. The session will consider how the empowerment of women can contribute to more successful economic development of companies. How can the Women’s Empowerment Principles be implemented in the business context? Four panelists from different backgrounds will engage the audience in a discussion on how to empower women as part of sustainable economic development.

“Leadership for Global Responsibility”: Co-Creating a Value-Based Approach for a Sustainable Future
In the 21st century, the world faces a series of global and systemic crises threatening the stability of ecological, social and economic systems. We are pressed to realize that continuing business as usual will likely move us beyond thresholds and tipping points that can trigger the collapse of these vital systems. In response to these complex global challenges there is need for value-based global leadership that is committed to the well-being of societies and the planet and that is capable of transforming collective intention into collaborative action. This requires global leaders with a highly self-reflective attitude and the strong motivation to take rapid, ambitious and innovative action. “Leadership for Global Responsibility” is a new leadership approach co-created by GIZ, the German agency for international cooperation, together with partners around the world to address these challenges. For example, a workshop will take place in India prior to the Global Media Forum to discuss the approach. The results of the workshop as well as preliminary findings for the overall process will be shared in a “pre-launch” of the approach at this panel discussion during the Global Media Forum. Audience members will be invited to contribute their ideas and openly explore new paths for the future. Their input will be taken into account during finalization of the approach in July 2013. Panelists will include international stakeholders from GIZ partners. The key question to be addressed is: What role and which competencies do leaders (in international cooperation) need today and in the future to accompany and co-design transformation in light of “Leadership for Global Responsibility”? Participants will be invited to sign up to the GIZ Leadership Lab to be a part of the implementation process of the approach in the future.

Emerging Asian Markets — Challenges for the Media
The media industry in Asia has seen tremendous growth in channels, films, newspaper, radio stations and other forms of media in the last decade. With the sector poised to double in size by 2017 it still faces big challenges. One is the impact of economic factors on independent media organizations. Studies show that economic factors are generally underestimated and often play a bigger role than political pressure. The majority of media organizations in Asia consider the economic climate and market conditions to be the major challenges to editorial independence and the business advancement of their media outlets. “It is widely believed that only a media outlet that understands its audience and market forces can successfully diversify revenue streams to defend editorial independence and ensure sustainability of objective and quality media content.” (‘Financial Viable Media in Emerging and Developing Markets’, WAN/IFRA, May 2011.) This panel will shed a light on these challenges in various markets and will explore different models and solutions with media personalities from Bangladesh, India, Indonesia and Pakistan.

More Economic Freedom — More Freedom of the Media?
This panel aims to discuss pertinent questions connected with the relationship between the economic order and the media system. It will engage in a debate guided by the following lead questions: What are the preconditions of a free press — and is it possible to agree on a common standard or benchmark delineating a free media system? If so, which are the challenges to a free media system? While market concentration is harmful on one side, so is state control on the other. This issue would then lead us to the question of successful regulatory systems that have proven to safeguard media diversity and, thus, also media freedom. Finally, the panel will look at possible correlations between economic freedom and political freedom — and its repercussions on media freedom. Is it true that economically free societies have freer media than others? The panel is sponsored by the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Liberty (Friedrich-Naumann-Stiftung für die Freiheit/FNF). Our guests will be media practitioners and economic experts from various parts of the world (Latin America, Africa, Middle East, Europe, Asia) associated with programs of the liberal Foundation. The discussion will be moderated by FNF Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), Dr. Ronald Meinardus, who worked for many years as an editor at Deutsche Welle and is involved in various media projects in the Arab world.

Turning a Crisis into an Opportunity: Humanizing the Economy
Today’s global economic system, which values money and monetary growth above all else, is at odds with the values of affection, friendship, education, health and security. These are the values cherished by human beings. For the most part, the media are controlled by vested interests that benefit from this unjust situation. Hence they fail the public by promoting the mantras of private banks — subsequently repeated by governments — as if they were the absolute truth. Nevertheless, people around the world are experimenting with new economic forms in huge numbers, from small-scale cooperatives through to the principles of “gift culture” and non-profit banking. There are also larger scale reforms being undertaken by progressive governments, such as Bolivia, which is predicted to experience the largest growth in South America in 2013. Instead of just focusing on the crisis in the European Union and violent street protests in Greece, the media should also report on alternative economic forms if they are to give a balanced view of the economic crisis. Such movements show the trends and innovations that will lead to the eventual economic revolution that will come as a result of the human necessity to shape a peaceful, diverse and inclusive world which respects the environment and puts money in its rightful role: a means to exchange goods and services. Concepts such as growth and usury do not fit with the humanist economic paradigms of the future. This session will explore these themes and give panelists the opportunity to present some of the alternatives to a monetary growth-based economic model which has been failing the world’s population for centuries.

Commodities and Foreign Investors — Protecting the Rights of Communities and Preventing Conflict (the Chad Example)
The international economy depends on resources that are exploited in developing nations. Resource wealth is seen as a chance of development for poor countries. But foreign investors and corrupt governments are often more interested in profits than in the lives of the people. Ultimately, the local economy suffers, corruption undermines governance structures, the environment is destroyed and human rights are violated. When oil was found in Chad, hopes for a better future were high. Communities in the oil-rich area were promised better lives and the whole country was to benefit from the oil profits. Oil extraction was designed as a model project by the Chadian government and the World Bank to prove that good governance in the oil sector is possible. Ten years after the first oil started flowing in 2003, the communities’ hopes for a better future have been shattered. Local conflicts have arisen from practices of monetary compensation. At the national level, the model of good governance has been altered and oil money has been used to bolster the army. The workshop will focus on the following questions: - Why has oil wealth not translated into development for Chad? - How have ten years of oil extraction influenced conflicts in the country? - How is the local population coping with the oil industry in their neighborhood? - How can civil monitoring capacities of governments, civil society and international bodies be enhanced to better understand the ramifications of extraction of natural resources in conflict regions? How can they serve the media? - How can media convey information that contributes to educating and sensitizing the stakeholders in the region as well as consumers in the North? The workshop will include presentations of maps and photographs as well as satellite monitoring capacities.

The Female Economic Factor: How Women’s Access to Savings and Loans Fosters Development and Growth
Aid organizations are committed to enabling poor communities to lift themselves out of poverty. But with literally no money to invest, it is nearly impossible for the poorest of the poor to start a business or seek other ways of generating income. More than 20 years ago, humanitarian organization CARE pioneered an approach in Niger in western Africa that meets the need for microfinance at the bottommost rung of the world’s economic ladder. Village savings and loan associations (VSLAs) empower women to pool their savings —with no outside capital —and provide loans to each other to start small businesses or pay for important life expenses such as school fees or medical care. For the past two decades, CARE has trained more than three million people in poor communities to manage such VSLAs. Because the approach is community-run and does not require any external financial input, it is suitable for rural and remote communities where the transaction costs for formal banks and microfinance institutions are too high to make financial services for poor people commercially viable. Women are at the heart of this approach because experience has shown that they invest smartly, reliably and in ways that benefit the whole family. What are the main obstacles to women’s access to financial services? How do village-based savings groups differ from microloans provided by a bank? What effects do they have on a community’s resilience and overall development? What other types of financial inclusions (e. g. mobile banking) have proven successful in developing countries? And finally, which role does the private sector play in enabling financial inclusion of the world’s poorest? These and other questions will be discussed in the CARE workshop by a group of experts representing the private and non-governmental sectors.

The Green Economy and the Media: How to Captivate Audiences
As the energy turnaround, sustainable consumption, environmental protection and green technologies impact the lives of ever more people, they’re also gaining ground in the media. Businesses, too, claim to be stepping up responsible practices. But what is really going on? What must media watch out for in reporting these topics? Most importantly, how can they package sustainability in ways that are understandable and interesting to mass audiences? In this session, members of the German-language online sustainability information channel “WiWo Green” and colleagues from specialty blogs and international media outlets will discuss these questions. They will cite practical examples and discuss resistance by lobbyists and the public’s enthusiasm for a green economy. Sustainability and green topics are no easy sell. In a recent study, public opinion researchers at Toronto-based international consultancy GlobeScan asked people in 22 countries whether they see the environment and future of the planet as endangered. The poll revealed that around the world, people are less worried about the environment than they were 20 years ago. The global economic crisis has supplanted the environmental crisis as their primary concern. This makes it all the more important to provide people with gripping stories, wellresearched facts and background information. More sparing use of the world’s resources is the biggest challenge of the 21st century. This workshop will try to define how journalists and blog authors can best describe this challenge and continually inspire audiences.

Wider Horizons — Tourism at the Heart of Future Growth
The rise of tourism over the past several decades has been one of the most remarkable socioeconomic phenomena of our times. More than a billion people travel the globe every year, mobilizing investment and generating employment. One in every 11 jobs in the world is directly linked to tourism, making it an economic power house fully embraced by the policy strategies of developing and emerging economies alike. The UN counts tourism among the 10 “change sectors” on the road to the green economy. The G20 believes tourism can contribute to addressing current economic challenges. The media, however, are more likely to portray tourism as a succession of palm-fringed beaches, ancient monuments and spectacular wildlife, as opposed to a sector with the potential to inject skills, capital, employment and opportunity into societies. Sticking to simple stereotypes implicitly conceals the truth by failing to cover tourism from all its relevant angles. It misses the bigger picture. If the media’s role is to inform, and if information can contribute to improving livelihoods, then tourism also needs to be seen as based on its undisputed significance as a driver of economic growth, job creation and development. A holistic picture should also include the perspective of those living in tourist destinations. In this workshop, representatives of the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) will discuss these issues with participants to provide practical insight into why tourism should matter more on the media agenda. Audience members are invited to debate, engage and network with UNWTO and explore collaboration possibilities for events, specialized field trips and workshops around the world.

Always the Bad Guys? The Public Perception of Business Leaders
They earn too much, abuse their power and are only interested in maximizing profits — that’s what most people tend to think about managers and CEOs. Those working in the financial sector have an even worse reputation. Though plenty of businesses are struggling in the global financial and economic crisis, the general public seems to have little sympathy for them. Instead, many are calling for structural reforms, a ban on golden handshakes for top managers and CEOs and an end to the funneling of tax payers’ money into the economy. And it’s not just about a few bad apples at the top. The reputation of the business world as a whole has taken a severe beating. Does this image hold all across the world or is it a regional and sector-specific phenomenon? Are pin-pointed CEOs and top managers just scapegoats amid mounting public anger? Do people still respect and admire their achievements and the jobs they create? And what role do the media play? Are they perpetuating images of the corporate bad guys?

Asia’s Growing Media Industry: Economic Challenges and Freedom of Expression
The fast growing economies of South and Southeast Asia also have a deep impact on developments in the field of media. The news media and media markets are undergoing a massive transformation. Although many countries have shaken off the political controls of the past and are operating with unprecedented freedom, censorship and violence against journalists still occur in many places. Besides facing these challenges, many media managers and editors in Asia also find it difficult to take full advantage of their new freedoms because of mounting economic pressure. Thus they often struggle to sustain their hard-won advances on the editorial front. These managers are constantly looking for solutions to build a solid economic foundation to support the creation of quality content on multiple platforms. This panel will highlight how media personalities from Bangladesh, India, Myanmar, Singapore and Pakistan walk the fine line between economic pressure and editorial independence.

The Bobs Awards recognize outstanding contributions to international freedom of expression by honoring blogs, social networks and websites. Since its inception in 2004, Deutsche Welle’s annual award for independent online media has established itself as the premier international and multilingual competition for online campaigns and initiatives. The jury-selected winners of the 2013 Bobs will receive their prizes at this ceremony. This is a unique opportunity for conference participants to meet exceptional activists engaged in shaping the future of their societies and to talk to people whose voices are too often silenced by censorship and oppression. This year the Global Media Forum Award will honor a website that focuses on “The Future of Growth”. The Bobs jury panel will also present awards in the categories Best Blog, Best Innovation, Best Social Activism, Most Creative & Original as well as a Reporters Without Borders Award. Three languages have been added to this year’s competition. Altogether the Bobs Awards now include 14 languages: Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, English, French, German, Hindi, Indonesian, Persian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Turkish and Ukrainian. Through the Bobs Awards, Deutsche Welle honors work that connects cultures, creates transparency and builds online bridges capable of transcending language barriers.

Changing Economic Values — Green Economy, CSR and Human Rights
Growth at any cost as the main driver of economic policy is increasingly coming under fire. A shift in priorities is becoming evident within the fabric of the world economy. More importance is given to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), especially in times of economic crisis. Along with corporate citizenship and sustainability measurement, CSR is a core element of a changing mindset. However, this rethinking is defined differently by international, European and national institutions, while models such as economic localization, circular economy and collaborative consumption are pointing the way toward sustainable development across the planet. “Development is about transforming the lives of people, not just transforming economies,” says Nobel laureate in economics, Joseph Stiglitz, summing up the debate about growth as a defining factor of success. The spectrum of differing positions is wide. Michael Heise, Chief Economist of Allianz SE, says, “Clearly we cannot strive for growth at any cost, but it’s equally dangerous to renounce it. Without growth we would certainly not be able to resolve the problems that lie ahead.” United Nations Global Compact calls on businesses to take action. Stating ten principles in the areas of human rights, labor, the environment and anti-corruption, it provides global orientation for putting corporate responsibility into practice and implementing governmental duties to protect citizens. What political structures for CSR are in place and how to do they impact commercial activities? What responsibilities do global players have to uphold human rights? And where do the media stand in the context of a world economy in transition? The third plenary session at the 2013 Deutsche Welle Global Media Forum will focus on such fundamental issues with first-hand case studies and best-practice examples.

Religion and Economy — Do We Need New Global Economic Ethics?
As the economy becomes more and more globalized, mistakes, mismanagement, misuse, corruption and crime have affected the whole world and created poverty for many. Overall ethical and just economic standards are needed to regain public trust and protect the poor. Because many people in the world practice religion and the major religions have a long history of moral discourse, this becomes an immediate topic for global religious players. Which ideas can they contribute and what practical experiences have they encountered in local communities? In this workshop, three authorities on ethics and economics from two major world religions will present their cases and discuss how economics, media, ethics and religions can cooperate towards the common good. With backgrounds in Africa and Asia, they will outline the intellectual and religious discussions and illustrate their principles in the area of helping the poor, especially underprivileged women and children, as well as in the area of banking. Can microfinance, ecobanking or Islamic banking be the solution?

Green Tech in Practice — How to Make Solar Energy Affordable
In many countries of Sub-Saharan Africa, only a small proportion of the population has access to the national electricity grid. State-owned utility companies lack the production capacity and grid infrastructure needed to forge ahead with largescale expansion of the power grid. “Green economy” with off-grid solar power systems that provide a sustainable, decentralized energy supply, represents a useful solution. It not only improves living conditions but at the same time fosters economic development in rural areas. Relatively high initial investment costs, however, are currently one of the most important obstacles to the distribution of photovoltaic systems. It is therefore important to bring affordable systems, combined with flexible payment methods, to the market. What can private investors do to support the distribution of affordable solar systems? What role can development finance institutions play in this context — for instance by promoting development and distribution of such systems? How can these systems be made affordable for the local population? What can be done to ensure that they are properly installed and maintained? Are such investments profitable for customers and companies in the long-term? And how does an improved energy supply affect the economic strength of rural areas? This workshop will review these questions by looking at the German company Mobisol GmbH as an example. In Tanzania and Kenya, Mobisol develops and distributes solar home systems in combination with an innovative payment system. The solar home system is supplied together with a mobile phone modem. Customers pay their monthly fees via SMS through a mobile payment system. The low monthly rates are based on the households’ current energy costs. Surveys conducted during the pilot phase indicate that the power generated by the system enabled around 30 percent of Mobisol’s customers to become economically active. The role of the borrower will be outlined from the point of view of the develop126

Enterprises Meet Universities — What Can Business Do for Education and Vice Versa?
The competitiveness of the global economy is increasingly dependent on the availability of sufficiently and appropriately qualified employees. In many developing and emerging countries there are considerable differences between the capabilities of university graduates and the qualifications sought after by industry. The lack of practical relevance means that university graduates are unable to find adequate employment opportunities. Economic development is hampered by a brain drain on the one hand and the employment of imported specialists on the other hand. So interaction between higher education institutions and enterprises is a must. But what is the main objective and what are the key competences needed by the economy? What practical input and knowledge can enterprises give universities to improve the study and working opportunities of students? These questions will be discussed by representatives of both sides. As an example of best practice some of them will relate their experience within the University-Business-Partnership Program of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). The program intends to bring about a transfer of knowledge and foster close ties between universities and industry, thereby bridging the gap between university graduates and business communities and strengthening the dialogue between higher education and industry. The overall aim is to enable stakeholders to better satisfy the requirements and keep up with developments for the future job market.

Business and Human Rights — Overcoming the Information Gap
Transnational companies continually come into conflict with human rights. However, loopholes in regulations often mean that businesses cannot be called to account for human rights abuses. A multitude of standards and initiatives aims to confront this problematic state of affairs. The United Nations has also joined the debate, taking its first major position on the matter in 2011 with the adoption of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. This workshop aims to provide an introduction to the topic of business and human rights and give an overview of the international standards and current dynamics in this area. How are the UN Guiding Principles rated from the viewpoint of an international NGO consortium and how can they be used to work towards tighter legal regulation of businesses? What do the UN Guiding Principles mean for an industrialized nation like Germany: Which obligations for more stringent regulation of businesses arise from the Guiding Principles, particularly in relation to the activities of German companies abroad? And what relevance do the UN Guiding Principles have in developing countries such as India, where the activities of transnational corporations have detrimental effects on the human rights of the local population? A journalist and activist from India will report on the difficult conditions he encounters while working there and on the possibilities of using his camera to close the information gap between national and international standards on the one hand and largely marginalized communities on the other. He uses the medium to inform local communities about their rights and to have them document human rights abuses by transnational corporations against them. His goal is to demand the enforcement of human rights by transnational corporations and the Indian state.

Towards Sustainable Cities: Urban Governance and City Leadership
This workshop will focus on the increasingly important role of urban governance in contributing to the global sustainability agenda. As cities and urban regions are home to a growing majority of the global population, cities in diverse regional and political contexts have become important agents of change, platforms for experimentation and arenas of collaboration facilitating the transition towards a green economy. This new global responsibility of cities has led to considerable outcomes on the ground, cutting across multiple policy sectors with a particular focus on transport, building, waste and spatial planning interventions. These policy areas have profited from devolved political powers to local and regional governments, a greater awareness of specific local requirements and a significant capacity to strengthen the collaboration between diverse public, private and third-party actors. But cities also continue to struggle with limited resources, policy coordination problems with higher tiers of government and competing policy objectives. This workshop will bring together the experience of two leading green cities, Copenhagen, Denmark, and TĂźbingen, Germany, both of which are internationally recognized for their role as green leaders in their transport, building and energy policies. In addition, a global survey of 90 cities will be presented to assess the role of cities in leading an emerging green economy.

The Fight Against Food Waste: Everybody’s Responsibility From Farm to Fork
Food waste happens everywhere: in the agricultural sector, industry, wholesale trade, bakeries and supermarkets, in restaurants and canteens. Last but not least, food is wasted in many households. In Germany, some 11 million tons of food end up in the bin every year. That amounts to 275,000 truckloads. Not all, but a part of this waste, could be avoided. Food waste has serious consequences. Not only does it needlessly consume resources, such as water, energy and arable land; unnecessary production and transportation of foodstuffs place additional strain on the environment. An estimated 30 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions are linked to people’s eating habits. Foodstuffs that end up in the garbage also have an impact on food prices and in turn on the global food situation. The more we waste, the higher the demand on the global market, which drives up prices. To effectively reduce the amount of food waste in Germany, the Federal Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection (BMELV) launched an initiative called “Too good for the bin” in spring 2012. Awareness-raising activities associated with the campaign have their focus where food waste is greatest: in private households. But when all is said and done, reducing food waste must be a joint effort along the entire chain — from farm to fork. This workshop will focus on the following questions: Which strategies are there for the sustainable production and consumption of foodstuffs? What type of framework must policy makers create to enhance public appreciation of food as an essential yet precious part of people’s daily lives in businesses and in private households?

Green Revolution or Pure Nightmare? Germany’s “Energiewende”
It’s a revolutionary target — 80 percent of Germany’s electricity needs are to be met by wind, sun and other renewable energy sources by 2050. The “Energiewende” (energy transition) is the country’s biggest infrastructure project since 1945. International media are closely watching to see whether Europe’s largest economy succeeds in turning away from fossil fuel and nuclear energy. In the German press, however, the green revolution often sounds like a pure nightmare. Reporting on the issue is dominated by citizens’ protests against new power lines, rare bird species being driven away by wind farms, along with scenarios of power shortages and escalating electricity costs. Policymakers have reacted by calling for subsidy cuts for renewable energy. They, in turn, have been criticized by environmental groups for slowing down the Energiewende process. What is the explanation for the different approaches to the Energiewende by the national and international media? Can Germany’s green path be a model for other countries? What are the success stories in the renewable energy sector?

Make a difference. With your signature. In many parts of the world, force is the law of the land. Violent acts are committed indiscriminately – by armed groups as well as government security forces. In most cases, nobody is held to account. Through targeted campaigns worldwide, Amnesty International speaks out against such human rights violations. Help us fight injustice. Pile on the pressure. Speak out today. Your signature can make a difference. www.amnesty.org
