In a world of complex challenges – climate change, conflict, increasing inequalities and polarization – the HSC convenes to create opportunities. To reset development pathways, to make them resilient to future challenges we can’t predict, to seize the opportunities we must imagine.
For that the world needs partnership-based collaboration; a space for trusting dialogue; the ability to imagine different futures; and the confidence that it is possible to build these together. The HSC is a window into the future of sustainable development through cooperation.
