...we need to implement social engineering to optimally utilize the demographic bonus opportunity in 2045
Jakarta (ANTARA) - The 2022 Values 20 (V20) will develop policy recommendations according to the priorities set by Indonesia’s G20 Presidency, Co-Sherpa of 2022 V20, Makarim Wibisono, said in a statement issued here on Tuesday.

V20 is a global community of experts and practitioners who are interested in the values practiced by the society and who provide inputs to the Group of Twenty (G20) for strengthening multilateral policymaking, he added.

"V20 uses a sustainability compass model approach to balance the perspective on nature, economy, well-being, and society aspects," the 2022 V20 Co-Sherpa said.

The global expert community will also propose a set of values for the G20 community based on the strategic priorities of the 2022 G20, as well as the G20 declarations during the past five years, he informed.

Themed ‘Values at the Center,' the V20 2022 Summit in October 2022 will feature cultural events that will disseminate the key messages of the event and invite direct feedback through public engagement.

"We will attempt to deepen the understanding of values in public policy with data-based and human-centered policy solutions to overcome global challenges in line with the theme of Indonesia’s 2022 G20 Presidency of 'Recover Together, Recover Stronger,'” V20 founding group member Ghazi Binzagr remarked.

Meanwhile, another V20 founding group member, Mandeep Rai, said that the global community intends to show the important role of values for achieving the G20 policy goals and realizing the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

"We believe that we can substantially increase the coherence, effectiveness, and longevity of a policy by increasing awareness of the systemic role of value as well as the reason and how value emerges from processes, institutions, and structures," she explained.

Meanwhile, V20 2022 Co-Sherpa Alissa Wahid emphasized the importance of public awareness of the significance of practiced values and culture.

“Understanding the values can become an important reflection medium for us as one nation. Moreover, there are values in the high level of entropy in our society, which hinder our social progress. Hence, we need to implement social engineering to optimally utilize the demographic bonus opportunity in 2045," she stated.
