Success of the event depends on the active participants and we since this is a great honor for the discipline to organize this event with the UNDP and the European Commission, we hope that many of you will show your support by participating in this event and taking part in the discussion as well. Kapuscinski development lectures are followed online in all parts of the world and it is wonderful that we, once again, have the opportunity to host such an event.

More about lecture topic:

Millions of active citizens and the world leaders are discussing what should be the development priorities in the coming decades. A consensus emerges on the need to ensure greater environmental sustainability in development. It is not yet however clear how the world should achieve these goals and what should be the financing mechanisms. More often the questions are raised on to the role of traditional donors and the official development assistance in supporting development. What are the ways to finance sustainable development? Simon Zadek’s Kapuscinski Development Lecture will answer these and other questions.

Top global thinkers deliver their Kapuscinski Lectures on development in the initiative organised by the European Commission, the United Nations Development Programme and partner universities.
