But an expanding economy does not mean that everyone benefits equally. To ensure the wellbeing of the entire population economic growth has to be inclusive. Inclusive growth requires full respect for human rights. To be inclusive, growth should generate decent jobs and provide opportunities for all segments of society, especially the most disadvantaged, in order to distribute ex ante the gains from prosperity more equally. Moreover, in order to bring new prosperity and new opportunities, growth must also support sustainable consumption and production, thus enabling sustainable development.<\/p>\n In doing so we have clearly in mind the indications of Pope Francis: \u201cIf the poor are marginalised, as if they were to blame for their condition, then the very concept of democracy is jeopardised and every social policy will prove bankrupt. With great humility, we should confess that we are often incompetent when it comes to the poor. We talk about them in the abstract; we stop at statistics and we think we can move people\u2019s hearts by filming a documentary.<\/em><\/p>\n Poverty, on the contrary, should motivate us to creative planning, aimed at increasing the freedom needed to live a life of fulfilment according to the abilities of each person<\/em><\/strong>. It is an illusion, which we should reject, to think that freedom comes about and grows through the possession of money. Serving the poor effectively moves us into action and makes it possible to find the most suitable ways of raising and promoting this part of humanity that all too often is anonymous and voiceless, but which has imprinted on it the face of the Saviour who asks for our help<\/em>\u201d (Pope Francis\u2019 Message for the Word Day of the Poor \u2013 2021)<\/p>\n We aim at examining all kind of poverty or, in other words, the many different dimensions of poverty. This broadening of focus was identified by\u00a0Pope St. John Paul II<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 \u201c[I]t is well known that there are many other forms of poverty, especially in modern society \u2013 not only\u00a0economic but cultural and spiritual poverty as well.<\/em>\u201d\u00a0(Centesimus Annus, 57)<\/em><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Pope Francis<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0\u201cModernity must contend with\u00a0three\u00a0types of \u201cdestitution\u201d. This poverty is much worse because it entails a situation \u201cwithout faith, without support, without hope<\/em>\u201d\u00a0(<\/em>Message for Lent, 2014, 2)<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n In our era we have to face poverty caused by economic, climatic, digital, spiritual and educational situations, bad works, poor health. A very complex set of difficult situations to deal with but which we must urgently approach and resolve.<\/p>\n Purpose<\/strong><\/p>\n The 2022 International Conference aims to strengthen the CAPPF commitment to study and research on new models of economic and social development, inspired by Catholic social teaching. In his 2021 address to the Foundation, Pope Francis provided us with a clear methodological indication and showed the way forward: \u201cIn every sphere of life, today more than ever, we are bound to witness our concern for others, to think not only of ourselves, and to commit ourselves freely to the development of a more just and equitable society where forms of selfishness and partisan interests do not prevail.<\/strong> At the same time, we are called to be vigilant in upholding respect for the human person and his or her freedom, and in safeguarding his or her inviolable dignity. This is the mission of implementing the Church\u2019s social doctrine<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n Following the Holy Father\u2019s indications, in addressing the different kinds of poverty constant reference should be made to inclusive growth as the crucial element to expand economic opportunities and at the same time provide broader access to these opportunities, so that all members of society can participate in and benefit from growth. Proper attention and planning is required, otherwise it will become increasingly difficult for growth to reach the many impoverished areas of the world who risk remaining excluded by poor governance and other obstacles. Better conditions of global socio-economic progress and democracy are essential prerequisite for both human integral development of all persons and lasting peace. The 2030 Agenda acknowledges that eradicating poverty in all its forms and dimensions, including extreme poverty, is the greatest global challenge and an indispensable requirement for sustainable development.<\/p>\n The 2022 International Conference will approach the following specific topics:<\/p>\n The theme of the IC will be approached in a multidisciplinary way with speakers of different countries and discipline \/areas or interest\/ economic sectors.<\/p>\n Format<\/strong><\/p>\n The IC will be held in person (and virtual participation if needed due to pandemic).<\/p>\n Each session will be streamed live.<\/p>\n Friday 7th<\/sup> \u00a0October 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n 9.30- 9.50 Introductory speeches\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n 9.50 \u2013 10.10 Meditation: H.E. Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi<\/strong><\/p>\n 10.10- 11.30 First session<\/strong>. The situation of poverty today, different dimensions and the new forms of poverty.<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n This session should address the different dimension of poverty and their impact on society and growth as well as the impact on poverty of the pandemic and the aggression war in Ukraine. \u00a0According to the World Bank (World Bank, Global economic prospects<\/u>, June 2021). \u201cThe pandemic not only reversed gains in global poverty reduction for the first time in a generation but also deepened the challenges of food insecurity and rising food prices for many millions of people. This is particularly prevalent among the poorest countries and populations, where higher prices of food can devastate discretionary incomes. [..] By the end of 2021, it is expected that about 100 million people across Emerging market and developing economies (EMDEs) will have fallen back into extreme poverty. The pandemic\u2019s impact on poverty could reverberate for a prolonged period due to its scarring effects on long-term growth prospects. The pandemic has also exacerbated inequality as it has disproportionately affected vulnerable groups\u2014including women, children, and unskilled and informal workers\u201d.<\/p>\n 10.10-10.40<\/strong> \u00a0Keynote speaker :<\/p>\n Round Table<\/strong><\/p>\n Moderator: MSGR Guy-Real Thivierge, <\/strong>Secretary General, Gravissimum Educationis Foundation and Member of the CAPPF Scientific Committee<\/p>\n 10.40-11.30 Panelists:<\/strong><\/p>\n –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 M\u00e1ximo Torero Cullen <\/strong>Chief Economist Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations VIDEO CONFERENCE<\/strong><\/p>\n –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 S.E Mons.

ESG and new model of the labor market.<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n This session should address the role of sustainable finance and firms to eradicate poverty around the world. Sustainable Finance and sustainability-focused enterprises have a crucial role in the fight against poverty as they tend to be oriented by a long-term vision. To became sustainable requires important changes in strategic objectives, business models, production processes, human resource management, leadership styles; the world of work is also affected. These are all aspects that will be examined in this session.<\/p>\n 11.45-12.05<\/strong> Keynote speaker:<\/p>\n –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Jeffrey Sachs, <\/strong>Director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University VIDEO CONFERENCE<\/strong><\/p>\n 12.05 \u2013 13.00<\/strong> Round Table<\/strong><\/p>\n – Fabio Pompei<\/a> <\/strong>CEO Deloitte, Italy<\/p>\n – Francesco Perrini, Prof. ordinario di economia e gestione delle imprese <\/strong>University Bocconi, Milano<\/p>\n – Vittorio Grilli, <\/strong>Chairman of Corporate and Investment Banking for Europe, \u00a0 Middle East and Africa (EMEA) <\/strong>of JP Morgan<\/p>\n 13.00 \u2013 14.00 Lunch<\/strong><\/p>\n 14.30 \u2013 16.00 Third session: The role of Governments and Institutions to tackle poverty, the greater importance of preventive actions compared to redistributive ones<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n This session should be devoted to address the issue of the concrete actions the international and national communities should adopt to promote a fairer economic-financial order, capable for example of providing finance for poor countries so to favor their post-Covid development. COVID-19 has hit poor and vulnerable countries the hardest, threatening decades of hard-won gains while exacerbating existing inequalities in the poorest countries. Attention will also be paid \u00a0to the theme of peace, which is closely connected to that of poverty. How to pursue and guarantee peace in the world?<\/p>\n A further problem to be addressed refers to a just sustainable transition especially in poor countries, e.g. in Africa. One of the unintended consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic has been Western governments and companies starting to push a decarbonization agenda. However, if they push too hard, African countries could be denied the energy required for their industrialization processes.<\/p>\n The problem therefore is how to combine the process towards environmental sustainability with the need to protect the poorest and most vulnerable people and nations.<\/p>\n 14.30 -14.50<\/strong> Keynote speaker:<\/p>\n 14.50 \u2013 15.40<\/strong> Round table<\/strong><\/p>\n Moderator: Andrew Abela <\/strong>Dean and Associate Professor of Marketing, The Busch School of Business, The Catholic University of America, CAPPF Member Scientific Committee.<\/p>\n Panelists:<\/p>\n 15.40-16.00<\/strong> \u00a0IV Session Concluding remarks<\/strong><\/p>\n Enrico Giovannini<\/strong>, Minister of the Ministry of Sustainable Infrastructure and Mobility and Co-founder of Alleanza Italiana per lo Sviluppo Sostenibile (ASviS)<\/p>\n 16.00.16.30 Coffee break<\/strong><\/p>\n 16.30-17.30 Final session – The voice of Young<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n This session is dedicated to know how young people sees poverty and their proposals of concrete actions to be taken to eradicate poverty and promote sustainable development and peace.<\/p>\n Moderator: Gert-Jan Boon <\/strong><\/p>\n Panelists:\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n Claudia Cannas <\/strong><\/p>\n Sofia Horsfall \u00a0<\/strong>Winner of the CAPPF 2021 \u201cEconomy & Society\u201d Scholarship<\/p>\n Nicholas Sawicki <\/strong><\/p>\n SUMMARY OF WORK by Giuseppe Morgante<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n SHORT SUMMARY OF LOCAL GROUPS’ WORK\u00a0 by Giovanni Marseguerra<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n 17.30 \u2013 17.50 Award CAPPF Winner Scholarship<\/strong><\/p>\n 17.50 \u2013 18.10 Conclusions<\/strong><\/p>\n 20.00 Social Dinner \u2013 Palazzo Orsini Taverna, Via Monte Giordano, 36<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Saturday 8th<\/sup> October 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n 08.00\u00a0\u00a0 Meeting point: Petriano Gate Entrance, Piazza del Sant\u2019Uffizio<\/strong><\/p>\n 9.00 Holy Mass celebrated by His Eminence Card.
