In June 2007, Urs Zollinger was co-responsible for the realization of a two-day seminar on sustainability and globalization as part of Certificate of Advanced Studies on Sustainable Development at the University of Berne. Urs Zollinger dedicated his main lecture to the topic "The Effects of Globalization on Sustainable Development and the Challenges to Global Governance". Moreover, working groups looked into different questions about globalization, among other things the question of global income distribution. Urs Zollinger was also responsible for evaluating the final papers submitted by the participants. The certificate course is being repeated in 2008/2009. Contact: Urs Zollinger
