Dr. Amit Kapoor was invited to share his views on “GDP: is not Destiny: Social Progress and Inclusion in a Changing World” at the Global Think Tank Summit 2017 on May 1-3, 2017 at Yokohama, Japan. The global Think Tank Summit 2017 aims to focus on the major eminent issues confronting Asia and the world, and identify areas for think tanks to contribute positively to their resolution. Leading think tank representatives will explore possibilities for their organizations to promote effective policy-making that address the premier issues facing our societies, including widening inequality, social instability, growing opposition to open trade, decelerating economic growth, environmental degradation, and the political consequences of each of these. Our goal is to develop sustainable and inclusive solutions to these most pressing issues and contribute to public discourse to overcome the divisions that have opened up within and across countries.
