International Women’s Forum samlar globala ledare i Stockholm för 2017 års World Cornerstone Conference

Share

Den 17 maj hålls den 15:e årliga International Women’s Forum (IWF) World Cornerstone Conference i Stockholm som samlar över 700 kvinnliga ledare från 40 länder över hela världen för att diskutera världens mest akuta utmaningar. Årets tema, ”A More Sustainable World: Movements & Markets” (En mer hållbar värld: Rörelser och marknader), tittar på hållbarhet ur bredare synvinklar: miljömässiga, sociala och politiska samt effekterna av populism och nationalism, migration och cybersäkerhet.

Konferensen är en unik samling av morgondagens globala ledare och påverkare, för att dela kunskap och diskutera dessa problem – och deras lösningar – ur ett globalt kvinnligt perspektiv.

“This year’s cutting-edge Cornerstone Conference is remarkable in its relevance and depth of engagement on difficult and timely topics,” said IWF President & Merrill Lynch Managing Director, Teresa Weintraub.

“By convening this dynamic group of women leaders, we can harness the collective power of their unique experiences and points of view to educate, inform, inspire and to serve as a catalyst for new ideas to move toward a more sustainable world, especially while in Stockholm—a city that has been on the forefront of progress on so many of these issues.”

  • Connie Collingsworth, verksamhetschef, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
  • Jan Eliasson, tidigare generalsekreterare i FN och tidigare utrikesminister, Sverige
  • Obiageli Ezekwesili, filosofie doktor, en av initiativtagarna till rörelsen #BringBackOurGirls och tidigare vice ordförande på Världsbanken
