Humanity has inherited a great unifying challenge. Protecting life as we know it requires courageous leadership, unprecedented collaboration, and limitless creativity within the limits of one planet.
Imagine a world where every child born inherits a sustainable future and the responsibility to pass it on — where local communities have the tools needed to mobilize their knowledge, creativity, and sustainable resources – shaping real-time solutions for global resilience.
Rooted in the belief, ‘Through Collaboration, Powerful Change Can Happen’, The Global Summit was brought to life in 2008 to serve as a home for the diverse movements and people building a socially-just, ecologically thriving world.
Through bridge-building events, solution inspiring media, and unifying goals, The Global Summit accelerates the free exchange of ideas between players at all levels.
Uniting people hands-on, and online in shaping solutions to the issues that most affect them, The Global Summit cross-sector eco-system busts the silos that keep our movements stuck; moves ideas to action; and serves as a social innovation testing ground for a regenerative world.
Unifying goals and outcomes:
Transparent Governance empowering self-determination and protecting Human Rights; the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and the Rights of Nature.
Local to Global Collaboration reducing duplication, empowering community-based solutions to meet the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Regenerative Technologies in energy, digital communication, transportation, food & agriculture, health, housing & education with the power to catalyze immediate climate change solutions (meeting COP21 targets).
What kind of world do you want to co-create?
