08:55 ~ 09:15	Special Lecture ｜ Grand Hall Three Misconceptions on Climate Crisis Special Lecture Tyler Rasch Entertainer Tyler Rasch Entertainer How can we solve the climate crisis? It has been 50 years since key factors causing the climate crisis have been identified, but why haven’t we been able to resolve the issue? It is because of our way of thinking. To change these ways, let’s abandon three misconceptions and focus on three actions. It’s time to adopt a new perspective to confront the climate crisis.
09:15 ~ 10:15	Keynote Session 1 ｜ Grand Hall The Deepest Foundations of our Democratic Crisis Keynote presentation Jane Mansbridge Charles F. Adams Professor, Emerita, John F.

Political confrontation and conflict are on the rise. There is a growing tendency to insist on the rightness and values of one's own camp, setting up opponents as enemies and attacking or excluding them. Distrust is growing and satisfaction with a democracy that values dialogue and compromise is declining. This session will examine the phenomenon and causes of this adversarial democracy and explore alternatives for coexistence.
10:15 ~ 11:00	Keynote Session 2 ｜ Grand Hall In an era of rising hegemony, what＇s South Korea＇s choice? Keynote presentation Graham Allison Douglas Dillon Professor of Government, Harvard Kennedy School, Former Assistant Secretary of Defense for Policy and Plans in the Untied States Graham Allison Douglas Dillon Professor of Government, Harvard Kennedy School, Former Assistant Secretary of Defense for Policy and Plans in the Untied States Panel Sohn Suk-hee Former JTBC Newsroom Anchor Sohn Suk-hee Former JTBC Newsroom Anchor As China rises, so does the U.S. - China hegemonic rivalry. Politico-military tensions are now spilling over into the economy, reshaping the global supply chain. As the confrontational fronts between the two powers intensify, they are being forced to draw a clearer line in the sand. South Koreas strategic choices, which have been closely aligned with China economically and the United States diplomatically and militarily, are also being challenged. In this session, we will hear insights from international political guru on the wisdom of our choices as we stand in the middle of a great power collision course.
11:00 ~ 12:00	Keynote Session 3 ｜ Grand Hall The price of inequality, and who pays the bigger bill Keynote presentation Gabriel Zucman Professor, Paris School of Economics and UC Berkeley Gabriel Zucman Professor, Paris School of Economics and UC Berkeley Moderator Lee Kang-kook Professor, College of Economics, Ritsumeikan University Lee Kang-kook Professor, College of Economics, Ritsumeikan University Panel Yoon Ja-yeong Associate Professor of Economics, Chungnam National University Yoon Ja-yeong Associate Professor of Economics, Chungnam National University Panel Park Bok-yeong Professor, Kyung Hee University Park Bok-yeong Professor, Kyung Hee University The 1% have 40% of the world's wealth. The fruits of growth stay at the top and very little trickles down. The top 1% get 40% of the new wealth created in a year. Crises exacerbate this inequality. Just as a patient with reduced immunity is more vulnerable to a virus, the low-income poor are hit harder by a crisis. The COVID-19 pandemic, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the reorganization of global supply chains have made life harder for the poor. In this session, we will examine the reality that those pay more in times of crisis and discuss how we can break the vicious cycle.

To change the current trend of fragmentation, confrontation, and exclusion in our daily lives, we must start with small actions and put them into practice. Social and economic organizations are conducting various experiments with the values of mutual benefit and cooperation at their core to address social challenges. In Session 1, through the Asia Policy Dialogue of the GSEF, which seeks to foster regional problem-solving and socioeconomic development via international solidarity between social and economic organizations and governments, we discuss the potential of “community connections and recovery” and explore concrete opportunities for collaboration with policymakers and practitioners from various Asian countries.

The “Germany Talks” project, which began in Germany in 2017, demonstrated the process of people with different views on social issues meeting and creating empathy. Hostile individuals overcame their hatred for each other and eventually became friends. This project, which expanded beyond Europe to the world, has now landed in Korea. The concept of this “Korea Talks” project, which is being held for the first time this year, is a “dialogue experiment.” It is rare for people in our society to meet others with different perspectives. Through the “Korea Talks” project, we experiment to see if we can become friends with people we have found difficult to face in our lives. On a day in September, around 50 people of different ages and genders from all over the country gathered in one place to have a conversation. Can such a “dialogue experiment” reduce prejudice and foster understanding and empathy? In Session 2 of the Asia Future Forum, we will share the results and explore the significance and future challenges of this experiment.

In particular, the company’s “ESG rating,” which provides information to investors, offers convenience in assessing the company's sustainability level. However, it may mask more detailed analyses and improvement demands regarding the company’s strengths and weaknesses. For instance, a company may excel in environmental performance but have poor social performance, yet these aspects can get obscured in the overall rating process. This phenomenon is a cause for concern, giving rise to the fear of “green-washing” and “work-washing.” In this session, we introduce efforts to enhance more proactive and substantive corporate behavior changes and transparency of stakeholders through the UN SDPI released by the UN Research Institute for Social Development last year. Furthermore, we aim to examine the trends and issues of nonfinancial performance of 300 global companies using key indicators of SDPI and analyze case studies of nonfinancial performance reporting of the IT companies, which play a significant role in the transition to the Fourth Industry.
