GLOBAL DIPLOMATS FOURM AGENDA
The Global Agenda forms part of our mission at the Global Diplomatic Forum: to bring together diverse voices and major players in international affairs, in order to find solutions to the most crucial issues facing the global community.
Our aim in this publication is to offer insights into the major challenges within international affairs, along with innovative potential solutions based on the GDF’s concept of Smart Diplomacy. The Smart Diplomacy approach advocates three main pillars for effective 21st century diplomatic practice: promoting multi-stakeholder involvement beyond the nation-state; the application of technology to tap into the potential of the digital age; and a bigger role for women in tackling global risks.
The Global Agenda has been thoughtfully curated to serve as an essential guide for diplomatic decision-makers and global leaders in the private and public sectors. The articles are designed to be brief enough for busy people to easily consume, while still detailed enough to support scenario analysis of future trends and their impacts.
