The unprecedented convergence of challenges facing global governance today demands bold and transformational responses. Amid growing great power competition, the rise of new actors, rapidly advancing technology, and outdated institutions, the system often appears stagnant and inflexible. Yet, our institutions are constantly evolving. Power structures shift, new players emerge, and innovative ideas can take root. The outcomes of the Summit of the Future demonstrate that global collaboration can still deliver for people and the planet.
Project Starling, New America, the International Crisis Group and CIFF are hosting an exciting conversation to explore solutions that can meet this unique moment in history. We will discuss emerging responses and collaborative strategies to address today’s political, environmental, and social challenges.
