Berlin Forum on Global Cooperation

How are Germany and Europe shaping their relationship with the increasingly important part of the world known as the "Global South"?

The annual Berlin Forum on Global Cooperation brings together politicians, academics, administrators, business leaders, civil society representatives, media professionals, international organizations, and the next generation of experts to discuss the key challenges of global cooperation. We deliberately seek to intertwine different dimensions, such as trade and economics, energy, climate, biodiversity, raw materials, migration, geopolitics, humanitarian aid, and democracy. Overarching issues of decolonization, changing power relations, and gender relations are also reflected upon.

Each year, a current focus topic is set and explored in depth in intensive deep dives, moderated by young professionals who actively shape the discussion.
