Driving global Recovery : what can Europe learn from Asia?
Date: Wednesday 30 June 10 - 09:30 am to 10:45 am
Type: Interactive sessions
Before the rise of China, many Europeans believed the ‘European Social Model’, which combines sustainable economic growth with ever-improving living and working conditions and human rights, would also prove to be the ‘visionary roadmap to the promised land’ (Jeremy Rifkin) to the rest of the world. But now the EU is left off the center stage. European growth rates are behind and Europe might not be able to afford the ’luxury’ of strong welfare measures. Also, China and the US (the ‘G2’) don’t seem to fully share Europe’s sustainability efforts and climate talks are stalling due to their resistance. Will Europe have to copy the Asian success or will Asia converge to the European standards?
