Today, we face a planetary emergency that is a triple crisis for climate, nature and people. Climate change contributes to rising inequality; unprecedented impacts for the most vulnerable; heightened political instability; and increased risk of conflicts pandemics, and economic shocks.   

Addressing these does not only require new solutions. It demands new ways of seeing, being and working. In short, it will take “radical collaboration”: working as One Team for One Planet to achieve a systemic transformation of societies and economies. Diverse perspectives, lived experiences, skills and knowledge will all contribute to radical collaboration – and we must unlock the power of diverse voices to lead the charge.   

This multi- stakeholder dialogue will explore opportunities to create new areas of collaborations among those involved in addressing the climate emergency, and paint a vision of what radical collaboration might look like. We aim to work together beyond logos, egos and institutional boundaries; break down sectoral barriers and silos, and practice deep listening to emerge from the dialogue with shared values, a common vision and pragmatic solutions to better protect the Global Commons.    

The dialogue will spotlight inspirational women leaders and high-level representatives from Member States, UN agencies, private sector, indigenous communities, farmers and youth in a spirit of shared leadership, while championing a 50:50 vision for gender balance, as well as inclusion and diversity.
