Summary
Speakers will explore what trust means, examine the reasons behind its breakdown at both global and local levels, look at community resilience through the lens of multi-sector collaboration, and explore how we can restore trust in the institutions that govern our lives.
Description
In an era marked by unprecedented challenges, the erosion of trust in global institutions, governments, and local communities has reached a critical juncture.
The fragility of multilateralism, coupled with rising geopolitical tensions, has exacerbated a deepening trust deficit that threatens to undermine the fabric of our societies.
The session will convene leaders from the public and private sectors, as well as philanthropists and academics, to answer some of the most pressing questions and to foreground solutions.
