APEC Study Centers Consortium 2016 Conference ASCCC 2016 May 5 th 6 th Cerro Juli Convention Center, Arequipa Peru Quality Growth and Human Development is the main theme of APEC Peru 2016 and the corresponding APEC Leaders Meeting to be held in Lima in November this year. The global challenges we are facing like climate change, extreme weather events or health and food security, require us to think in new ways for achieving prosperity and sustainable development. Prosperity is no longer based on the mere accumulation of material wealth but in quality growth and human development. While strengthening regional economic integration in APEC by attaining the Bogor Goals and by advancing towards the eventual realization of the FTAAP, it is also fundamental to discuss how to improve the quality of growth and ensure human development. This would enhance the academic contribution to a greater and better focused impetus for concerted actions among APEC economies.
