FORUM TOPICS

Introductory Remarks and Prologue: Leadership Challenges for Civil SocietyThe Presidential Precinct is dedicated to the proposition that freedom, self governance, the rule of law, and the institutions that foster these values are essential to build nations successfully. We encourage dialogue amongst young leaders and legal experts to improve civil and political rights. Today, we address those rights in the context of Magna Carta. We look especially at economic development, government transparency, gender equality, and the environment as they might be addressed in a Magna Carta for the future.

Economic Development and Transparency: ConversationIn 1215, Magna Carta created a totally new promise of accountability and equity by shifting control of the economy and civil institutions of the U.K. from a monarchy to the people. Open and transparent processes of governance may be the most powerful tools for attracting and growing businesses in emerging democracies. We will address the rules and structural elements of legal systems that encourage the investment of foreign capital, promote free trade, and generate economic growth.

Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment: Presentation and ResponseThe promotion of rights, equity, and freedoms are the greatest indicator of a country’s social, economic, and cultural health. Systematic discrimination against women and girls inhibits the development of civil society and delays the development of democratic institutions. We will discuss the critical building blocks that provide education, health, and safety for all members of society.

Climate and Conflict: Presentation and ResponseThe globalization of markets and threats to security and natural resources by non-state actors highlight the need to address key external challenges that are larger than governments and their treaties. Climate change, conflict over resources, and the displacement of indigenous peoples limit economic stability and threaten social progress. We will discuss how Magna Carta’s recognition of rights to natural resources may suggest a model of interdependence and self-governance that allows us to see common obstacles and mutual opportunities beyond what is immediate or local.

Working LunchVisiting leaders will break into small working groups and have the opportunity to describe the most pressing challenges in their communities, exchange ideas, and collaborate on practical solutions to advance their national concerns.

Magna Carta of the Future: SummaryEmerging leaders are key to creating and developing improved civil environments that support innovation in business and government. While Magna Carta holds promises for each generation, critical voices on the world stage know that new, dynamic, and flexible approaches will be needed to reform local and global systems.

Town Hall: Pulling the Pieces Together A moderated discussion will summarize the key elements of the conference, empower leaders to practically advance the ideas and sustain the debate through the Presidential Precinct Network.

HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCE OF WALES ELDEST SON OF THE QUEEN AND PRINCE PHILIP, DUKE OF EDINBURGH

Through the years, His Royal Highness developed a wide range of interests which are today reflected in The Prince’s Charities, a group of not-for-profit organizations of which The Prince of Wales is Patron or President. The group is the largest multi-cause charitable enterprise in the United Kingdom, raising over £100million annually. The organizations are active across a broad range of areas including education and young people, environmental sustainability, the built environment, responsible business and enterprise, and international relations.

The charities reflect The Prince of Wales’s long-term and innovative perspective, and seek to address areas of previously unmet need. These interests are also reflected in the list of more than 400 organizations of which His Royal Highness is Patron or President. The Prince’s interest in fields such as the built environment, global sustainability, youth opportunity, education, and faith have been elaborated over many years in a large number of speeches and articles.
