  4. World In Transition – Panel Discussion 15-17th September 2013, Prague The world has been at a critical juncture: economically, socially and environmentally. For more than a billion people there is not enough to eat, no electricity or safe drinking water. Gap between rich and poor is widening. The world’s ecosystems are in decline. These challenges are further nurtured by climate change and population growth threatening to prosperity and stability. Issues What is the way forward? What role companies will and should play? Are they ready to take up their responsibility and deliver value not only financially — but also in social, environmental and ethical terms? What society expects from them and what companies expect from society/government in this regard? To what extend public-private partnerships already shape the agenda? Speakers Muriel Anton, Vodafone; Martin Jahn, Volkswagen; Radek Špicar, Aspen Institute; Jan Muehlfeit, Microsoft; Jonathan Wootliff, CBCSD Moderator Daniela Písařovicová / ČT
