Keynote Speech by Alfredo Sfeir-Younis at the WGF Global Business and Investment Forum

This Keynote Speech signals the obsolescence of the post-WWII material prosperity paradigm. Sfeir-Younis argues that limitations to growth are now ecological and biological, demanding a Civilizational Transition toward an Ecological Civilization. This new path is articulated by adopting an Ethics of Interdependence ("I am because you are"), replacing materialistic individualism with a focus on collective well-being. Consistent with his general work on consciousness, spirituality, and human rights, Dr. Sfeir-Younis establishes that the new growth capital must include Spiritual Capital, and governance must integrate human, natural, and spiritual laws (derived from collective consciousness). This vision underscores that future stability lies in realizing values like compassion, justice, and harmony, which are pillars of collective self-realization.
