The global forum of the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) is taking place from the 27th to the 30th of October 2009 and focuses on the theme “Statistics, knowledge, and policy: charting progress, building visions, improving life.”

International experts in areas such as environment, development, commerce, and social issues meet to debate and consider the statistics in many areas related to the quality of life (from inequality in urban development, to climate change and well being).

The forum provides a conducive platform for participants: to exchange views and share their knowledge, wisdom, and experience with the goal of adopting solutions for the future.

For this occasion, the film “6 milliard d’Autres” (6 Billion Others), supported by BNP Paribas, is being shown in the main auditorium. It can be seen by all participants and political representatives of the forum. In the exhibition hall, which hosts about 5,000 visitors per day, the public can discover various projects displayed by Yann Arthus-Bertrand. They can also be interviewed by the co-director of the film. These interviews will be visible on the website: www.6billionothers.org.
