SUMMARY:From Promises to Action: Ethics in Global Cooperation
DESCRIPTION:The United Nations (UN) has set big goals for making the world fairer and more sustainable—through initiatives like the Millennium Development Goals, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Our Common Future, and the Earth Charter. These frameworks give countries and organizations a shared vision for tackling issues such as poverty, inequality, and climate change – essentially a shared vision for a better future.\nThe challenge, however, is that while countries often agree on big, beneficent goals, they face hard choices about how to act.  In other words, what is promised often does not match what is actually done.  This discussion will look at why it is so hard to turn good intentions into real change.  Some reasons include limited natural and financial resources, clashing national interests, cultural differences, corruption and conflicts.  \nWe will explore how we can use “practical ethics” (a way of applying moral values like equity, responsibility, justice or respect for the environment to real-world problems and decisions) to close that gap. In particular, it will help us to understand why the benefits and burdens of development in pursuit of a fairer world needs to be shared more equally and restored more mindfully. \n
