SUMMARY:Counting What Counts: Implementing Beyond GDP Metrics
DESCRIPTION:Join leading experts to explore how countries can put new approaches to measuring progress into practice.\n  \n\n\n\nThis event will be available in-person and online. Free to attend. \nAs countries prepare for the anticipated adoption of a UN Beyond GDP framework at the United Nations General Assembly in September 2026\, there is growing recognition that Gross Domestic Product (GDP) alone cannot capture the full picture of progress. While it remains an essential measure of economic activity\, it overlooks critical dimensions such as inequality\, environmental sustainability\, and well-being. \nThe recent report of the UN High-Level Expert Group (HLEG)\, Counting What Counts: A Compass of Progress for People and Planet\, marks a significant milestone. It is a practical\, globally applicable framework that complements GDP with a dashboard of indicators\, signalling a clear shift in the conversation. The framework is closely linked to key international processes\, including the Pact for the Future and the 2030 Agenda\, with implications for how countries design policies\, allocate resources\, and assess long-term development pathways. \nThis context creates a timely opportunity to translate global recommendations into practical applications by supporting countries in integrating Beyond GDP metrics into national policy\, planning\, and statistical systems. \nCo-hosted by Aga Khan Foundation Canada (AKFC)\, the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) and the International Development Research Centre (IDRC)\, this event builds on the ongoing work of IISD and IDRC to support countries in advancing practical\, policy-relevant approaches to measuring progress beyond GDP. \nPlease refer to the event registration page for further details. \nRegister\nWho should attend: \nPolicymakers\, statistical leaders\, and experts on practical pathways for implementing Beyond GDP metrics at the national level. \nAdditional information for attendees: \n\nWhen you register\, please indicate your interest in attending in-person at the Delegation of the Ismaili Imamat or attending online (Zoom) by selecting the relevant ticket option.\nNetworking/Refreshments: In-person attendees are encouraged to participate in an informal networking session and enjoy refreshments after the event.\nPlease note that this event will be offered in English only.\n\nQuestions? Contact akfc.events@akdn.org \n\n

SUMMARY:Building Mutual Economic Partnerships
DESCRIPTION:Join us to explore Canada’s role in a shifting global economy.\n\n\n\nThis event will be available in-person and online. Free to attend. \n\nThe global economic landscape has accelerated efforts by governments around the world to strengthen economic resilience\, diversify partnerships\, and secure access to strategic markets and supply chains. Countries are reassessing long-standing assumptions about development\, trade\, economic security\, and international cooperation\, as reflected in the G7 leaders’ declaration of June 20261. At the same time\, many emerging economies are calling for partnerships that extend beyond traditional aid relationships to include trade\, investment\, innovation\, skills\, and technology collaboration. \nIn Canada\, these shifts have prompted renewed discussion about the role of international assistance within a broader economic\, trade\, and foreign policy agenda. Recent speeches and policy directions have emphasized the importance of building mutual economic partnerships that deliver sustainable development outcomes while also supporting Canada’s long-term trade\, investment\, workforce\, and supply chain interests\, including the goal of doubling non-US exports within the next decade. \nThis public event\, co-hosted by Aga Khan Foundation Canada and the International Development Research Centre (IDRC)\, will consider Canada’s role in building partnerships that respond to global challenges while creating opportunities for both Canada and its international partners. It will uncover how mutual economic partnerships can contribute to shared prosperity\, while examining the opportunities\, challenges\, and trade-offs associated with this evolving agenda. \n\n\n\nRegister\nAdditional information for attendees: \n\nWhen you register\, please indicate your interest in attending in-person at the Delegation of the Ismaili Imamat or attending online (Zoom) by selecting the relevant ticket option.\nNetworking/Refreshments: In-person attendees are encouraged to participate in an informal networking session and enjoy refreshments after the panels.\nPlease note that this event will offer English and French interpretation.\n\nQuestions? Contact akfc.events@akdn.org \n\n\n\nAbout the series \nShared Futures brings together leaders\, researchers\, policymakers\, and practitioners to examine the future of global cooperation and Canada’s role in an increasingly interconnected and rapidly changing world. This event marks the first public convening of the series. Learn more.  \n\n
