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. Drawing inspiration from Stephen Heintz’s “Logic for the Future” and Indy Johar’s “Societal Innovation” to explore
- How might we transition from a world of fragmented responses to one of collaborative problem-solving on a planetary scale.
- How might we create more effective and inclusive global governance structures that reflect the complexities of our interconnected world?
- What new approaches might revitalise democratic participation and representation on a global scale?
- how might we break or bridge silos foster collaboration between them in new “polylateral arrangements” that bring together states, sub-national governments, private sector, and civil society?
- How do we ensure that our reimagined global infrastructure accounts for long-term thinking and intergenerational justice?
- What role will emerging technologies play in reshaping global cooperation and governance?
- How can we design governance structures that are more responsive and adaptable to rapid global changes?
- What new roles can civil society organizations play in shaping and implementing global cooperation?
- What ethical principles should guide our reimagining of global civic and planetary infrastructure?
This dialogue is not about imposing a single vision, but about co-creating a framework for the future that reflects our collective aspirations and addresses the complex challenges of our time. We invite all participants to bring their ideas, visions, and lived experiences to this crucial conversation as we seek to shape a better international system for tomorrow.
