Rethinking G20: Designing the Future

Rethinking G20: Designing the Future

Rethinking G20 is an initiative of the Government of Mexico, set against the backdrop of the G20 Summit so that leaders in different disciplines may engage in a reflection on social, economic, political, environmental, scientific and world financial futures, and generate contributions to the design of future public policies of innovation and efficiency.

Leaders, thinkers, entrepreneurs, experts, artists, communicators and innovative minds from different disciplines have been summoned to this space with the aim of redesigning in an analytical and proposable manner, a future G20 agenda that focuses on the main social, cultural, economic and financial issues.

The sessions of this event have been designed to:

Provoke Imagination: To promote innovation, creativity and new ways to ‘develop more output with the same input’. Because “imagination is more important than knowledge” (Albert Einstein).

Provoke Meaning: To know where we want to get to, we must first understand: Where we are now? Where do we come from? And how do we want to get there?

Provoke Understanding: To reach development we must first consider the elements of our environ¬ment, with its diversities, nature, and potentials.

Provoke Change: Generate an inclusive financial system which contributes to a global sustainable economic development.

Provoke Future: How do we want our future to be? Which actions must we take in order to get there?

In the XXI century, economic, financial, political, and social developments will be difficultly accomplished unless we can rely on a space and time for innovation, knowledge and creativity.

Mexico, which currently holds the presidency of the G20, extends this invitation to the analysis, reflection, prospective, planning and action for making this a better world.
