Session 3C: Responsible Business Conduct: The Road Ahead (*This session is held in English only) As organizations rethink their business models-redesigning work to leverage the power of technology and adjusting to a rapidly changing world-it becomes increasingly clear that they cannot succeed without making people a priority. Human talent, not capital or technology, is the link between innovation, competitiveness and growth in the 21st century. Session 3D: Conflict Affected Communities and Global Growth This session will show the barriers that conflict affected communities have to economic growth, rebuilding infrastructure and recovering from conflict as a result of explosive contamination. Further, the need for partnerships to end the threat of landmines across the globe will be highlighted, and it will aim to raise awareness that increased engagement by Japan’s government, civil sector and private sector in Mine Action could lead to many countries declaring themselves landmine free by 2025. |

The session will discuss ways in which G20 governments can ensure that their national policies and programs on UHC encompass the needs of these marginalized key populations areas and health facilities create environments that are free of stigma and discrimination. With global intergovernmental and institutional discussions on tax reform moving at an increasingly fast pace, it is critical that the solutions have broad based support and active advocacy across stakeholders.
