We face a watershed moment in human history. Our challenges transcend borders and demand a fundamental reimaging of how we operate and respond. At this inflection point our choice ‘for life’ must be declared in different actions and institutional responses. Our existing structures are unable to effectively tackle the nature, complexity and multiplicity of crises.
This dialogue aims to explore transformative ideas for a new global civic and planetary infrastructure that might better navigate our interconnected world. Ideating a diverse ecosystem of institutions and networks with new “polylateral arrangements” where states, sub-national governments, private sectors, and civil society, it seeks to reimagine what such an infrastructure would look like, how it would foster alignment, build response-ability, integrate the perspectives and needs of those with indigenous knowledge and proximate lived experiences to enhance adaptive capacity.
We invite you to join us to explore how might we transition from a world of fragmented responses to one of collaborative problem-solving on a planetary scale.
