The international project Open Dialogue "The Future of the World. New Platform for Global Growth" will be held at the National Centre RUSSIA from April 28 to 30, 2025. It will bring together experts from leading global think tanks, development institutions, academia, government bodies, business associations, youth organizations, the scientific community, and media. Authors of the best essays from 42 countries, selected by the expert council of the National Centre RUSSIA, will also join the event.

The program of the Open Dialogue "The Future of the World. New Platform for Global Growth" is published on the website of the National Centre RUSSIA and is available to the public in Russian, English, Chinese, Arabic, and Portuguese. On April 28, preliminary pitch sessions will take place among participating essayists. On April 29, top-level global experts will take the stage, followed by a series of panel pitch sessions featuring the best essay authors and experts from different fields.

Over the course of three days, discussions at the National Centre RUSSIA will focus on four key directions of global economic development:

— "Investments in Human Capital;"

— "Investments in Technology;"

— "Investments in Connectivity;"

— "Investments in Environment."

The "Investments in Environment" track will focus on current issues of ecology and the future of the planet. It is based on global strategies, environmental initiatives, and the daily habits of each individual, notes Tatyana Lipskaya. As a representative of the leader in the national sustainable development agenda, she emphasizes that the current focus is on the balance between humans, their needs, and the preservation of natural capital.

"Our planet is a living organism. If its temperature rises, it leads to irreversible consequences: droughts, hurricanes, wildfires, and melting glaciers. Helping the planet is our shared responsibility. It is the foundation of our sustainable future and the quality of life for future generations. Together at the Open Dialogue 'The Future of the World. New Platform for Global Growth,' we will explore ideas for a sustainable future," said Tatyana Lipskaya.
