1. to re-embrace global solidarity and find new ways to work together for the common good.
2. to renew the social contract between Governments and their people and within societies, so as to rebuild trust and embrace a comprehensive vision of human rights.
3. to end the “infodemic” plaguing our world by defending a common, empirically backed consensus around facts, science and knowledge.
4. to correct a glaring blind spot in how we measure economic prosperity and progress. When profits come at the expense of people and our planet, we are left with an incomplete picture of the true cost of economic growth.
5. to think for the long term, to deliver more for young people and succeeding generations and to be better prepared for the challenges ahead.
6. for a stronger, more networked and inclusive multilateral system, anchored within the United Nations
