Abstract
How to tackle the growing inequality that characterizes the beginning of this 21st century ? This was the guiding question for the 5th edition of the Global Ethics Forum (GEF) which took place in Bangalore, India, from 3-5 January 2014. In the context of the five deepening global crises — economic, financial, environmental, political, leadership — inequality has become a key challenge in the transition towards a sustainable model of development. It is a phenomenon that is both universal, as inequality exists between and in segments of society on a global and national level, and multidimensional, since the concerning issues range from gender and wealth distribution to access to education. The GEF in 2014 discussed the multidimensional challenges of inequality and explored good practices and possibilities for tackling them, such as a sharing economy, corporate transparency, holistic business education, and many more. This report presents a summary of the conference, with recommendations and projects for action. It mentions as well Globethics.net’s draft ‘Declaration on Principles of Equality and Inequality for a Sustainable Economy’, which was widely endorsed by the forum. The annual GEF conferences, organized by Globethics.net, represent moments for refueling the work behind this ongoing, dynamic process towards creating a values based world, society and economy. They are the joint effort of a global family of values driven individuals and institutions.
