USPA NEWS - Global Citizens, world leaders, policymakers, philanthropists, celebrities and thought leaders will gather next month in the Principality of Monaco for the 3rd annual Global Citizen Forum (GCF) held from 8-9 October 2015. This year´s speakers include Kofi Annan, former Secretary-General of UN.

THE GLOBAL CITIZEN FORUM IS A NON PROFIT PLATFORM --------------------------------------------------------------------- This year, the GCF, a non-profit platform, will call attention to the intensifying refugee crisis in Europe and the urgent need to enact effective solutions. Additionally the Forum will feature discussions on global security, foreign direct investment and the future of global citizenship. One potential solution to this challenge is the Global Citizen Tax which will be further discussed at the forum. The tax would be a simple levy on investor applications for residence or citizenship in EU countries. The proposed tax could mean big changes, potentially funding over a billion euros in the next five years. These funds demonstrate the positive impact global citizenship can have, whether it´s through the creation of jobs.

The European Union, trying to find solutions that can be both sustainable and especially human, while maintaining stability of the continent. The European Union, is torn between firmness and solidarity, debating and considering practical solutions to find the best balance and why not take a profit from this opportunity for some countries with low birth rates.
