Andrew CharltonDr. Andrew Charlton is an expert economist who firmly believes that fair

trade practices are crucial to the economic prosperity of the future. In his

book, Fair Trade for All, he and co-author Joseph Stiglitz propose a new, and

perhaps radical model for how developed and developing nations can

conduct business together in the future so that all parties benefit.

Andrew Charlton is someone who

truly feels that quality education is

crucial to the future prosperity of

Australia as well as the rest of the

planet. As someone who attended

Oxford University as a Rhodes

Scholar and earned a doctorate in

Economics, he feels that his

outstanding education was pivotal in

the advancement of his career in

politics, business and authorship.

Of all the challenges that future leaders will

face. Dr. Andrew Charlton sees climate

change as one of the pressing issues that

will not be going away any time soon. As

someone who was once deemed a Young

Global Leader by the World Economic

Forum and represented Australia at the

United Nations Copenhagen Climate

Conference while in his late twenties, Dr.

Charlton is a credible advocate for

environmental awareness.

Fair trade policies are crucial to the economic

development of poorer countries, which is an issue

that people all over the world should take ownership

in. According to Dr. Andrew Charlton, developing

countries who fall behind in the advancement of

clean energy sources and green technologies will be

the perpetrators of excess carbon and methane

emissions, which is something that affects

everybody.

Andrew Charlton is a doctor of

economics who has represented his

home country of Australia at the

G20 Leaders Summit when he was

working as the Senior Economic

Adviser to former Prime Minister

Kevin Rudd. He sees the rise of

Asia’s middle class as opportune for

increased trade with the continent;

a sentiment he expressed in his

latest quarterly essay.

Dr. Andrew Charlton got an early start

in the political arena, serving as an

adviser to former Australian Prime

Minister Kevin Rudd not too long after

receiving his doctorate in economics

from Oxford University. By the time he

was 28, Dr. Charlton had become the

Senior Economic Adviser to the former

PM and was representing his country at

the G20 Leaders Summit.

After working in Australian parliament, Dr. Andrew Charlton

then went on to take a stint in private business. He accepted a

position for Wesfarmers, working in corporate development

and Cole’s corporate. Dr. Charlton was a Rhodes Scholar at

Oxford University, and is deeply interested in the prosperity

of Australia’s future through increasing trade and promoting

commerce.

Andrew Charlton sees technology as a tool that empowers us

to accomplish more within our daily lives. The ability to make

communications and transactions in a real-time manner has

revolutionized the ways that business is conducted; and has

ultimately helped the environment by enabling people to do

more without having to create carbon emissions through

unnecessary travel for business transactions.
