The Global Action Program
The goal of the Global Action Program (GAP) is to promote concrete projects that implement solution proposals of the Global Economic Symposium. Each project puts into action a practical vision of how to tackle a well-defined global problem addressed in the Symposium.
The GAP plays an important role in the Global Economic Symposium (GES). The GES initiates a strategic dialogue among leaders of business, policy-making, academic and civic communities to find innovative solutions to an array of global problems. The strategic dialogue is research-based (supported by the Virtual GES, the knowledge and communication platform of the GES) and action-oriented. While the analysis of the global problems is conducted in the Virtual GES, the Symposium itself focuses entirely on “solutions,” namely policy ideas, business strategies and civic initiatives to help overcome aspects of the global problems. The solutions generated by the panel sessions of the GES primarily take the form of “practical visions” for the future, namely, new ideas on how to respond to global problems that lie beyond the reach of our national policies and conventional schemes of international organizations. These practical visions are published in the book Global Economic Solutions after each Symposium.
Complementary to these practical visions, the GAP focuses on concrete projects that translate each some aspect of a practical vision into a specific action plan, leading to measurable results that address the underlying problem. In the interaction between the practical visions and the concrete projects, we seek to initiate a distinctive process of global problem-solving, in which people from diverse communities – business, academia, policy-making and civil society – work together to identify global problems, formulate well-founded, research-based principles for addressing these problems, and devise concrete projects that show how some aspect of these principles may be implemented.
The concrete projects are meant to provide a tangible grounding and discipline for the practical visions, influencing the formulation of new “solutions” in the future. The practical visions, in turn, provide an intellectual framework for structuring the concrete projects.
