Leadership Round Table

Leadership Round Table and Launch of Major Initiatives (19 November 2012)

The Leadership Round Table will be organized by the South Centre of Geneva. This year's theme will be "South-South Cooperation: Investing in Sustainable Industrialization; Jobs and Wealth Creation." As an interactive dialogue on critical themes of Southern development, this event will be attended by high-level representatives and senior officials of the United Nations and Member States and will feature renowned leaders and experts in the field of renewable energy and South-South and triangular cooperation. Invited ministers will provide initial thoughts on the topic to then open the floor to participants.

The Leadership Round Table segment will be followed by the launching of major South-South cooperation initiatives led at a national level focusing on renewable or alternative energy, climate change adaptation, and other initiatives that bring about development either directly or indirectly.
