Abstract: Challenges and hopes in a changing world
The keynote speech will discuss some of the factors or forces that are a sort of shaping the world we live in, and they are going to have a great influence on a kind of world that we will have in the future; and therefore ramifications or implications of these factors or forces to the changing global economy. Analyzing the uneven growth in the global population and human migration in many regions of the world and their impacts on emerging global economy on the one hand, and highlighting some of the changes that have already been taking place in the global economy in terms of transformation and communications due to the globalization on the other hand, the speech will bring together these two aspects/forces to speculate basically two scenarios as the ways for future global sustainable development.
