WEF India 2009: You tell us what to ask at the forum
Posted by Livemint on Friday, November 6, 2009
With top world leaders descending on Delhi in two days’ time for the World Economic Forum India Summit, Livemint.com invites readers to send in their questions and comments for two of the key sessions at the summit:
a. Transforming Urban Transportation: How Will It Be Done?
The issue: Only 25 of India’s 88 cities with populations over half a million have formal public transport systems, despite 45% of India’s urban population using public transport. How can the government promote innovative business models for viable, inclusive transit systems? What technological solutions and new financial mechanisms would be useful in managing private motorization demand, resolving infrastructure deficiencies, and promoting integrated land use and transport planning?
b. Trade and Climate Change: Economic Imperative or Green Imperialism?
The issue: Trade and climate policies have become increasingly entwined as countries grapple with the challenge of integrating economic interests with the management of climate change. What are the economic effects of trade and climate change policies, and how can different viewpoints between developed and developing countries be reconciled?
