Global Ethics Forum 2024 : ethical leadership for a re-envisioned future : policy report

Abstract

The Global Ethics Forum (GEF) 2024, held from 2 to 4 September 2024 at the Geneva Maison de la Paix, marked a significant relaunch of a globally recognised platform for ethical dialogue and action. Under the theme “Re-envisioning the Future in an Ethical Multistakeholder Perspective," the forum convened over 600 participants, including 78 speakers and 32 knowledge partners from 34 countries and 6 continents. The primary purpose of the forum is to inspire ethical leadership and provide a safe space for multistakeholder and intercultural dialogue. The event facilitated critical discussions on ethical leadership, innovative solutions, and policy recommendations to address global challenges. Through these discussions, the forum advanced policy recommendations that amplified the voices of underrepresented groups and set a global agenda that integrates ethics as a cornerstone for peace, governance, and technological innovation.
