Eurasia:
To discuss these critical issues Astana Club’s seventh meeting will be held in Paris on November 28-29.
The goal is to stimulate dialogue between major geopolitical stakeholders from the East and West for a vibrant exchange of views to find a way out of the current impasse.
The meeting will be held on the sidelines of the 5th edition of the Dialogue of Continents forum entitled “The End of Abundance, The Birth of Resilience”.
Dialogue of Continents is an international forum for high-level officials from the public, private, and academic sectors to address the major issues facing the world’s economy, and debate prospects and directions for future economic growth.
While President of France Emmanuel Macron announced in August «the end of abundance», in this edition we will seek to better understand today’s world of multiple crises – be it pandemics, wars or climate change – in which increasingly, international economic relations are being weaponized for national security and geopolitical ends and for which the concept of resilience is becoming a key imperative.

THE GEOPOLITICS OF ENERGY AND CLIMATE CHANGE
Should we expect the Russian energy supply disruption to eventually contribute positively to the energy transition necessary to tackle climate change, or should we instead assume it will delay the necessary transition effort – particularly jeopardizing certain fragile regions of the world? Do we have an opportunity here to skirt catastrophes related to reaching temperature tipping points that could lead to unmanageable and unstoppable climate change? How will Europe and the rest of the world position strategically in this context? Will the Global South claim funding from the Global North on top of levels agreed to in the 2015 Paris Accords?

REBUILDING UKRAINE AND THE ECONOMIC CONSEQUENCES OF THE WAR
The question of economic reconstruction more broadly is already on the table: who should pay to rebuild the destroyed public infrastructures, to help Ukrainian public finances and bring Ukraine back on the path of growth? How should an internationally funded and supported plan be rolled out? Since the conflict is not over, how risky is the Ukrainian reconstruction effort in the next months?

USHERING A NEW AGE OF RESILIENCE
In this same context, is the world’s economy about to experience a major shift in organization and finality? Will global welfare now depend on life quality indices instead of GDP? Will the world’s economy move forward to a more frugal approach in its use of finite resources? Can innovation allow us to overcome resilience necessity?
