Multilateralism is under severe strain.
Amidst a rebalancing of global power and influence, rising nationalism, geopolitical tensions, and economic volatility, international cooperation no longer looks the same.
Join our upcoming Critical Conversation to unpack the shape of global collaboration in this new era.
For the Commonwealth, this moment is critical.
Navigating the shared challenges of climate change, health crises, conflict, and economic instability demands new routes forward for international cooperation.
What role can the Commonwealth play in charting forward a model of collective problem-solving that is meaningful and robust? How can states reaffirm the merits of dialogue, partnership and collaboration grounded in shared values? How can civil society and governments work together to strengthen collective action?
We’re bringing together civil society leaders, government representatives, and thinkers to explore how the Commonwealth can support collective action, strengthen global norms, and foster trust.
Register now to join this vital dialogue on the future of the Commonwealth and the world.
