<div class="descriptionDiv collapse" id="desc_SmallGroupDiscussions46"><p class="descriptionP">The Middle East and Africa have been experiencing profound social and economic changes over the past several decades—fostering a favorable environment for creative cooperation and innovation to achieve prosperity. By joining forces, the private sector, government, and civil society can mobilize efforts to help overcome some of the region’s most pressing challenges, such as access to quality education and natural resource management.<br/><br/>This session will bring together CGI members from, or with interests in, the Middle East and Africa to exchange ideas and network around how to best utilize the CGI community to generate solutions.</p>

Of these fatalities, 80 percent occur in low- and middle-income countries, significantly impacting global productivity and well-being.<br/><br/>This session will bring together CGI members from both the public and private sectors to identify new partnership opportunities and Commitments to Action aimed at curbing the rise of NCDs. Members will build on the progress made by the NCD Action Network since 2011, and focus on solutions including the prevention of chronic disease risk factors and improved access to quality treatment.</p>

<div class="descriptionDiv collapse" id="desc_SmallGroupDiscussions48"><p class="descriptionP">The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has the potential to be the breadbasket of Africa—however, political instability, civil conflict, and lack of investment has hindered the economic trajectory of the country. Agricultural production has fallen 40 percent since 1990, and nearly 70 percent of the country’s 68 million people are classified by the United Nations as under-nourished. These nutritional and employment challenges can be alleviated by sustainable efforts including agricultural investment.<br/><br/>In this session, CGI members will learn about the DRC Action Network while further exploring long-term solutions, as well as hear from current commitment-makers and identifying potential partnerships.</p>

<div class="descriptionDiv" id="desc_PlenarySession49"><p class="descriptionP">Globally, nearly 75 million or 13 percent of young people are unemployed. In the Middle East and North Africa region, this number rises to more than 28 percent. The issue is compounded when factoring in the over 127 million adults worldwide who are also unemployed. Meanwhile, 40 percent of employers in the United States, 65 percent of Brazilian employers, and 64 percent of Indian employers report they are unable to fill job vacancies, potentially causing billions of dollars in losses. Connecting youth and adults to a value chain stretching from education to job opportunities is essential for achieving long-term economic growth and unlocking the human talent that drives the prosperity of businesses. In this session, key leaders across sectors will reimagine how CGI members can:<br/><br/>• collaborate across sectors—specifically companies, government, education, and training providers—to create real education-to-employment journeys for young people, as well as skills conversion for adults<br/>• eliminate the barriers that keep those traditionally left behind from gaining meaningful employment opportunities</p>

<div class="descriptionDiv collapse" id="desc_SpecialEvent54"><p class="descriptionP">Globally, more than 58 million children are out of school, millions more are in education but not learning, and huge disparities remain between what many children do learn and the skills they need to succeed in life and work. By failing to nurture the talent of young people, poor education systems are holding back economic expansion and productivity. A third of CEOs globally are concerned that this skills shortage will negatively impact their companies’ ability to innovate. Inequalities in educational opportunity also weaken the social and political stability needed for businesses to thrive. Business Backs Education is a global advocacy campaign that encourages businesses to more proactively increase their investment in educational initiatives in areas of greatest need.Launched at the Global Education & Skills Forum 2014 by the Varkey GEMS Foundation—with partners UNESCO and the Coalition for Business Engagement–the program’s primary goal is for businesses to commit at least 20 percent of corporate social responsibility, social impact, or sustainability budget toward educational initiatives by 2020. They are encouraged to achieve this by actively engaging with and supporting the public sector in supporting education outcomes.</p>

Today, more and more higher education leaders are stepping up with solutions to tackle the problem, including promoting the Common Core State Standards which outline the learning goals that each student should have attained by the end of each grade. In fact, no one is better positioned than higher education to help Americans understand that rigorous standards like these are necessary for students to succeed in high school, through college, and into their careers. At this dinner, a panel of thought leaders and practitioners will explore higher educations’ responsibility to partner with K-12 and early learning, define its role over the education cycle, and highlight best practices from cooperative efforts already underway.</p>

<div class="descriptionDiv collapse" id="desc_SpecialEvent56"><p class="descriptionP">Residential energy use has significant repercussions on environment and economic situations locally and globally—for example, today in the United States, $241 billion is spent annually on residential home energy. Between 1999 and 2010, home energy consumption increased by 32 percent, driving up costs dramatically. Simultaneously, private sector wages dropped 7.5 percent between 2008 and 2010. Home energy savings can lower costs by hundreds of dollars while reducing carbon emissions and protecting the environment. As a result, local governments and the private sector are finding new and innovative ways to help individuals and families adapt energy efficient retrofits to their homes. This dinner will share best practices in emerging models that use employee energy benefits to further sustainability engagement, and will identify partnerships that can help these models scale in the U.S. and globally.</p>

<div class="descriptionDiv collapse" id="desc_BreakoutSessions31"><p class="descriptionP">The global economic crisis that took hold six years ago and the subsequent recession raised new hopes, expectations, and fears about the relationship between corporations and consumers. While more than 50 percent of consumers worldwide say that they are willing to reward companies that give back to society, they often still pick the easy and affordable options that provide short-term gratification and convenience. Corporations are exploring how to produce meaningfully sustainable products and services that are better for consumer health, fairer to those who produce them, and cleaner for our planet, while also helping consumers navigate an abundance of choices. As the relationship between business and consumers continues to reset after the economic crisis, CEOs in this panel discussion will:<br/><br/>• identify the role consumers expect corporations and their leaders to play in moving society and economic opportunity, as well as innovation, forward<br/>• explore the value of socially-responsible corporate efforts to investors and which social benefits all stakeholders expect corporations to provide<br/>• determine ways for CGI members to promote transparency and understanding between business and society, enabling consumers to make educated purchasing decisions that are in their long-term interests</p>

Serving this population—namely those living at the bottom of the pyramid—through micro-lending, micro-savings, and micro-insurance initiatives has proven successful in achieving pathways to economic stability and more sustained prosperity. Mobile technology in particular has given rise to new and innovative ways to deliver those services to the people who need them most, yet this population remains largely untapped.<br/><br/>In this session, CGI members will discuss why large, established financial service providers across the globe often struggle to work with consumers at the bottom of the pyramid, and how the development of new partnerships with organization more adept at operating in the sector—from NGOs to telecommunications companies—can lead to greater empowerment, stability, and economic gains for all.</p>

Developed as core business priorities, as part of economic development plans, or as conservation-focused initiatives, these cross-sector efforts recognize the value of linking the economy and nature to ensure the long-term viability of the world’s ecosystems.<br/><br/>This session will highlight specific examples that illustrate this relationship across industries, issues, and geographies. CGI members will identify potential pathways to hasten the adoption of tools that prioritize both economic and environmental value. Advances in wild sourcing, ecosystem services valuation, human and environmental health, response and resiliency, ocean and terrestrial conservation, and the role of women in promoting environmental stewardship will be examined.</p>

<div class="descriptionDiv collapse" id="desc_SmallGroupDiscussions37"><p class="descriptionP">Since 1970, the number of people exposed to large-scale floods and tropical cyclones has doubled. In addition to the humanitarian toll, the cost of international humanitarian aid rose 430 percent between 2004 and 2013. The economic implications of natural disasters extend to businesses, driving up internal expenditures and creating challenges for their customers. Typically, large-scale disasters prompt spontaneous participation of the private sector in emergency response—but business can play a much larger role in helping to enhance an at-risk country’s preparedness before a disaster strikes. A region that is increasingly attracting investors and business operations, Southeast Asia, also has a history of vulnerability to natural disasters, including the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, and most recently, Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines in November 2013.<br/><br/>In this session, CGI members will draw on lessons learned in the aftermath of the typhoon as well as other past disasters, and explore strategies that leverage the business community’s capacities for continuity and resiliency planning aimed at reducing vulnerability while increasing their competitive advantage.</p>

<div class="descriptionDiv collapse" id="desc_SmallGroupDiscussions38"><p class="descriptionP">Protecting women’s sexual and reproductive health is paramount to truly empowering women, and is essential to poverty alleviation. However, various challenges to maternal and neonatal health remain, and are further compounded by vague support systems. For example, fistula, a condition resulting from prolonged obstructed labor or sexual violence, often leads to the marginalization of women by their societies, stigmatizing them and sentencing them to a life of dependency. Despite being a preventable and treatable condition, approximately 2 to 4 million women in Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East remain untreated.<br/><br/>This session will bring together CGI members who are employing holistic solutions to address maternal health challenges—from tackling structural systems that increase the prevalence of child marriage or access to human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccinations, to empowering those living with fistula to regain their health and financial independence. Members will explore new opportunities for creative collaboration to protect the sexual and reproductive health and rights of all women.</p>

<div class="descriptionDiv" id="desc_PlenarySession39"><p class="descriptionP">Today, half of the world’s population lives in cities—and by 2030, there will be five billion urban dwellers. With an estimated five million migrants moving to cities each month, the rapid pace of urbanization globally has left many with limited access to essential services, most notably affecting the one billion people living in slums. Despite this, urban dwellers have built a $10 trillion informal economy. They have used their cities as laboratories of innovation and entrepreneurship, and have worked to create solutions that bridge gaps in the provision of financial services, health care, and transportation. In this session, key leaders across sectors will reimagine how CGI members can:<br/><br/>• identify tools that can be used to unlock the inherent innovation occurring in cities, helping residents drive business and economic growth<br/>• build networks of collaboration to scale up and replicate solutions at the national and global levels</p>

Three of the MDGs are focused on health, and significant progress has been made to achieve their targets through cross-sector collaboration. This type of coordinated effort and partnerships combining resources from diverse actors can be leveraged to address all global health challenges, generating more lasting and meaningful impact. At this dinner, a panel discussion will demonstrate how partnerships among governments, civil society organizations, and the private sector can provide solutions with depth and economies of scale that sustainably impact global health.</p>

<div class="descriptionDiv collapse" id="desc_SpecialEvent24"><p class="descriptionP">While economies around the world are showing signs of recovery, recent data indicates that lasting effects from the global economic crisis are continuing to create challenges for youth. This includes a persistent “opportunity divide,” a gap between those who have the skills, training, and access to opportunities to achieve success and those who do not. Microsoft YouthSpark—the company’s Commitment to Action—focuses on closing this gap for 300 million young people by 2015 by partnering closely with youth, government, nonprofit and business leaders. Despite tough economic circumstances, a number of programs are successfully helping young people gain skills and training, secure employment, and create businesses. This dinner will feature an interactive conversation with youth who are benefiting from these programs, and will discuss the actions we can collectively take to continue the progress made in bridging the “opportunity divide” for youth.</p>

<div class="descriptionDiv collapse" id="desc_SpecialEvent26"><p class="descriptionP">Over the next 50 years, societies around the world will have to generate more food than they did in the past 10,000 years combined in order to meet the needs of the growing global population. And this food will need to be produced in ever-evolving environments that are facing some serious challenges, from extreme weather to the availability and sustainability of natural resources. No single entity can solve these issues alone, and it is imperative for farmers, corporations, NGOs, and government agencies to work together to develop creative solutions. This dinner will feature a compelling panel discussion exploring ways to improve sustainable food production in the face of climate change, population growth, and resource constraints.</p>
