In today’s polarized world, how can we use values to foster constructive dialogue and build stronger partnerships? At the World Economic Forum Sustainable Development Impact Meetings 2024, I had the opportunity to explore this question on the panel “Faith in Action: The Future of Dialogue and Partnerships in a Polarized World,” alongside Hahrie Han, Ambassador Deborah Lipstadt, and Amira Elghawaby. At a time when division feels more pervasive than ever, it’s clear that dialogue grounded in shared values can be a powerful tool for change. Our conversation highlighted the power of values-based leadership in bridging divides and collectively addressing society’s most pressing challenges. What role do you think values play in building trust and purpose-driven collaborations in today’s world?

Meet Yohana Co?uecar Llancapani! She is the co-coordinator of?the Network of Native Women for the Defense of the Sea. Learn about what inspired the creation of?Network of Native Women for the Defense of the Sea, how they practice collective leadership, and more.??? What inspired the creation of the Network? There is a deep need in Indigenous communities, which are mostly led by women, to create training skills in various subjects. From leadership, public speaking, political advocacy, technical concepts, empowerment, and a fundamental concept — strengthening self-esteem. The Network was born out of that need to articulate ourselves as Indigenous communities and as Native peoples to strengthen our capacities, which directly benefit the coastal marine spaces of Indigenous peoples and the territories. How is collective leadership practiced? Each of has a different leadership style. This has its challenges, but we all come together with a shared purpose and with our own unique and important skills. We are linear and work horizontally, which allows each opinion to generate an echo throughout the Network. Working collectively allows us to strengthen our knowledge. What is one word you would use to describe your hope for the future? Reciprocity.

This morning, amid 8 or so panels crammed into the plenary time, we heard from Catherine Coleman Flowers, Dr. Jalonne L. White-Newsome, and Rachel Ramirez on #environmentaljustice. To elevate a few of their most compelling points: 1. "Fifteen minutes is not enough to cover all of environmental justice." Yes - let's #sharethestage, CEOs! 2. "Our economic paradigms encourage [community dividing] injustice... infrastructure bypasses marginalized communities who are so close but don't have" the access and accountability that many of us are privileged to have. How can we ensure critical services like energy access, clean water and functional sanitation, and fresh food make it to ALL communities? 3. We are "ignoring communities that are poor, ignoring #immigrant communities, ignoring #rural communities, anyone THEY think doesn't think have a voice." Meanwhile, the #trauma of #climatedisasters creates a lasting fear in these communities when they experience, for instance, 5 floods in 2 years. Equity of access and equity of accountability matter. @ Aspen Ideas Climate Miami Beach Convention Center
