Speaker: Peter Boyles, Chief Executive Officer, HSBC France, UK

9:15 am - 10:15 am     OPENING - Are we ready to change our behaviors?       
                                               
While sustainability is more topical than ever, the governments and private industry players are enlarging the sustainable development agendas of their organizations. For many, this awareness - which translates to a will to go beyond good intentions to actually implement operational solutions - is interpreted as a sign of proven change. But how do we assure the pertinence of these initiated actions? The question of the implementation of sustainable development is above all an issue of arbitration, of choice, and therefore, of responsibility. The question is what can be done to increase awareness - inside one’s own sphere of influence - relative to their responsibility? Which indicators show this political will toward change?

2:15 pm - 4:15 pm     WORKSHOP 1 - What are the necessary policy instruments to efficiently influence behaviors?                               
While the Stern report sounded the alarm about the risks of a recession “of catastrophic proportions” if nothing is undertaken on a planetary scale, and that the crises - food, environmental, energy – are growing, the necessity of anticipating the upheavals implies that we use all the policy instruments to influence the forces at play. Through the question of leverages available to impulse the behavioral changes, it is once again the question of the transformational potential of our society which is raised.

9:30 am - 11 am     WORKSHOP 2 - Rethinking urban space: how can we approach urban dynamics around the world?                               
                                       
In 2007, a milestone was reached: from that point forward, the number of city-dwellers surpassed the number of rural residents. Parallel to this rampant urbanization, the world has been confronted with an explosion of mobility and the exhausting of fossil fuel resources. The habits of those living in urban areas are no longer tenable in the state and transformations must take place with regard to housing and access to urban services (energy, electricity and mobility). Conscious of the stakes, business and public authorities are committing themselves to take into account the environmental stakes, models of sustainable cities are coming to fruition and Europe is showing challenging objectives. However, we are not all starting at the same stage in development: the problems for northern cities - where urban governance requires being modernized - and those of the south, where the structuring of urban spaces remains open for invention - are leading to significantly different behavior.

2 pm - 3:30 pm     WORKSHOP 3 - Health risks: insuring prevention and assuming crisis
In adopting the goals of the U.N.’s Millennium Project, the international community has demonstrated its determination to make all necessary efforts to eradicate uncontrolled pandemics despite-occasionally the existence of technical solutions likely to facilitate access to care for the people in question. Faced with the magnitude of the challenges and the scale of interventions to be implemented, it is clear that States can no longer afford to act alone whether in terms of solvency, mobilization of resources and efficiency of health care. Sharing responsibilities and the costs between different players (Governments, NGOs, private enterprises) and initiating new forms of collaboration is one of the strategies of adaptation, which will allow us to take charge of these new risks.

Innovation is one of the main policy instruments for improving the business world’s economic performance. Our relationship with nature can also be viewed in this way since it inherently includes the potential for innovation that promotes changes in behavior. As an “innovation supporter” and thanks to the vital services invaluable nature gives us (renewal of air, water purification, molecules useful in medicine, etc.), nature acquires a market value. How do we maintain this diversity that is doing us a favor? What place should we give to biodiversity that doesn’t directly contribute to human activities? The handling of climate change - considered today a “global public good” - has been organized on the basis of multilateral engagements and constitutes an example of change in our manner of understanding how to handle nature. Can this solution be an efficient model for conserving biological diversity? What role can the private sector play in this process?

2 pm - 3 pm     CLOSING - Public goods, global goods: What roles for the private and public sectors?                                       
                                       
Just as with peace or education, the environment is a “global public good,” meaning goods that cannot be subject to appropriation and which are characterized by two fundamental properties: non-rivalry, which implies that the consumption of goods by some people doesn’t reduce the possibility of consumption by others, and the non-exclusivity of use, which means that nobody can be excluded from consuming of goods. The Millennium Goals were planned precisely to promote the dissemination of these worldwide "public good.” And in this domain as well, collaboration between the public and the private sphere is experiencing a new closeness, and in order to protect natural capital it is now necessary to imagine new configurations involving players from the public and private sectors. But what are the processes of possible negotiation since these companies aren’t in their original role? Addressing the question of the mechanisms of international cooperation, what will permit, tomorrow, the ensuring of the protection of world global goods? The question being raised is that of global governance of the environment.
