Upcoming Events
THE POST-CRISIS WORLD
The yearly June Forum offers a one of its kind and world-renowned platform of networking, gathering high-caliber personalities from around the world, representing Governments, International Organizations and Businesses.
The intimate and friendly atmosphere of the Crans Montana Forum, free from the restraints of official protocol, provides the Participants with the best opportunity to make high-level and direct contacts with key decision-makers.
CLIMATE CHANGE : IMPACT ON THE THREATENED ISLANDS' SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Despite being amongst the lowest contributors to factors causing climate change, a number of small countries, among them the Pacific Islands region, are the most vulnerable to the impact of climate change including its exacerbation of climate variability, sea level rise and extreme weather events. The sea-level rise, the disappearance of soils, the issue of clean water, the ability of facing tempests impact the physical existence of populations but also food security and health, infrastructure, planning and budgeting. These are all interconnected issues.
Some major Initiatives can be conducted in order to physically consolidate the soil and preserve a key part of what is our World Heritage. These Initiatives require action from the International Community but, at first, the immediate involvement of some Governments and major International Companies. The Heydar Aliyev Foundation is expected to play a key role in this process.
Therefore the Crans Montana Forum will convene in Baku, a CMF High Level Panel devoted to in-depth discussions and action on (1) the Climate change and the Sea level rise, (2) how to help the threatened populations ?
Indeed, beyond the mobilization of the International Community itself, Governments and Private Companies must play a key role as requested by the Secretary General of the United Nations, Mr. BAN ki-moon, in his Initiative OCEANS COMPACT launched in Yeosu last August 2012.
2013 – CLUB OF PORTS SPECIAL MEETING
The next meeting of the Club of Ports will take place on June 28 in Baku.
It will be dedicated to :
International and Regional Transportation strategies
with a special focus on
Trade relations with countries without free access to the sea
and will take place in the framework of the Crans Montana Forum Annual Session.
Landlocked countries suffer from high transportation cost and greater isolation which hinders their economic development. They depend on Ports by definition located in foreign countries and – more than any other nation – they rely on security, stability and international cooperation.
On this occasion, decision-makers in the Transport industry from all over the world will gather in Azerbaijan, a key country for transport, corridors projects and multimodal transport.
