“Global lifestyles – new pathways for development policy”

30th and 31st January 2012, Bonn

 

 

 

The 3rd Bonn Conference on International Development Policy is acknowledging the growing importance of the topic of global and sustainable lifestyles. It will focus on the connections between lifestyles and consumption habits and living conditions in developing countries. How will consumption habits and lifestyles have to change in societies in both the North and the South to achieve sustainable global development? What contribution can businesses make and how can they exercise their ethical responsibility? Do development policy and, in particular, educational work in the area of development policy, require a change of perspective to make sustainable lifestyles a practical option in terms of development cooperation?

 

 

 

The CSCP is coorganizing the conference. Main organiser is the Minister for Federal Affairs, Europe and the Media of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia. Other partners are the German Development Institute / Deutsches Institut für Entwicklungspolitik (DIE), the Association of German Development Non-Governmental Organisations (VENRO), the Federal City of Bonn and the Deutsche Welle.
