Cornelius Holtorf took part in the \u201cWe the Peoples\u201d<\/a> digital consultation of the United Nations.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Building on the UN75 global conversation, the consultation invites stakeholders from different sectors to develop practical recommendations to: accelerate delivery of the commitments made in the UN75 Declaration, together with the Sustainable Development Goals and Paris Climate Agreement; and to respond to new and emerging challenges.<\/p>\r\n

He made two specific contributions:<\/p>\r\n

Addressing Challenge 1: How can decision-making take more account of the future?<\/em>, he suggested to “Enhance the capacity for futures thinking (futures literacy) among decision-makers.”\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

\r\n

Much decision-making about the present assumes unexamined that conditions will remain the same in the future. But based on all past human experience, this is not going to be the case. We can improve people’s ability to imagine alternative futures and design new strategies to act in the present in order to bring about novel futures.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

Addressing Challenge 5: How can we build trust between people and institutions?<\/em>, he suggested that “We need to learn more about people’s cultural meanings and values as they determine trust in society.”<\/p>\r\n

\r\n

Trust between people and institutions is an outcome of specific cultural meanings and values. It is easier to trust people and institutions that make sense in what they do and whose values you share.
Strangely, the realm of culture is vastly underappreciated in society, maybe because ethnology and social\/cultural anthropology are very small subjects and not many decision-makers have much understanding of how human culture works.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
