Participation in global supply chains has been shown to be an important driver of productivity gains and employment creation, but social and environmental conditions in supply chains have, in many cases, improved little. The Forum thus emphasizes the critical role of skills development in achieving sustainability in the supply chain, particularly in light of the increasing number of mandatory due diligence regulations being adopted and implemented in the Global North. The discussions will revolve around how developing and industrializing economies can better position themselves in global supply chains by improving skills and knowledge relevant to sustainable industrialization.
The Forum will provide a platform for exchange including policy makers, development practitioners, representatives from the private sector (companies, associations, and organizations), experts from academia (universities and research institutions), civil society, non-governmental and intergovernmental organizations. It will consist of a plenary session, two panel sessions and a half day workshop (closed event) focused on key aspects of skills development and sustainable supply chains. The format is designed to stimulate discussion, share innovative ideas, and address key questions related to help drive a conversation that addresses our constituency’s actual needs.
Organizers
The FGI is a series of annual forums jointly organized by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), the Kiel Institute for the World Economy (IfW Kiel), the Kiel Centre for Globalization (KCG), and the The Research Network Sustainable Global Supply Chains. The research network is a joint initiative by the German Institute for Global and Area Studies (GIGA), the German Institute for Development and Sustainability (IDOS), the German Institute for International and Security Affairs, and the Kiel Institute for the World Economy funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development. The Learning and Knowledge Development Facility (LKDF) is a joint initiative of UNIDO and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida).
The Research Network Sustainable Global Supply Chains brings together researchers from economics, development studies, and international business studies for this conference to discuss recent research related to sustainability in global supply chains with a focus on impacts in developing countries.

The aim of the research network is to contribute to the sustainability of global supply chains through research. It initiates new research, pools the expertise of leading scientists around the world and makes new findings accessible for political decision-makers and other stakeholders. The network is hosted by a consortium of the German Institute of Development and Sustainability (IDOS) , the GIGA, the Kiel Institute for the World Economy (IfW) and the German Institute for International and Security Affairs (SWP).

Während die Teilnahme an globalen Wertschöpfungsketten weithin mit Vorteilen für die Entwicklung von Ländern in Verbindung gebracht wird, werden ökologische und soziale Kosten immer deutlicher. Die Autor:innen empfehlen, dass die G20 ein zentrales globales Austauschforum für diese wichtige Herausforderung wird.
The third MIASA Policy Conference “Dealing with conflict, preparing for sustainable peace” will provide space for exchange between researchers, policymakers and other key stakeholders in sustainable peace-making to present and discuss state-of-the-art research and its policy implications. Emphasis will be given to African perspectives on intervention practices and peacebuilding efforts on the continent, drawing on insights from both research and practice.
