Civil society has a crucial role to play in strengthening public-private cooperation to create sustainable, inclusive impact.

Developing an effective response to the crises that societies face – including geopolitical fractures, climate and nature emergencies and societal divisions – requires strong global partnerships and multistakeholder collaboration. Civil society brings inclusion to the heart of public-private cooperation, ensuring business, government and coalitions deliver meaningful impact and find solutions that reverse inequality, respect planetary boundaries and uphold civic freedoms.

As the realities of inequality have become more pronounced across interconnected systems, any meaningful, hoped-for impact in this deeply unequal world will be determined by the level of ambition business, government and other leaders are bringing to the table for the communities most proximate to the effects of the crises of today and tomorrow.
