3️⃣ Trust

📅 10 May 2023 - 15:00-17:00

🎯 Description:

The UN Secretary General’s Common Agenda calls for the need to renew the social contract between Governments and their people and within societies, so as to rebuild trust and embrace a comprehensive vision of human rights.”

This Future Envisioning Exercise understands trust as an essential element for the healthy functioning of complex societies. Trust is the belief in the ability, reliability or truth of other people or institutions. As human beings, we need trust in our peers to survive and in other people to thrive and live in community. Likewise, in the complex and diverse societies that make up the world in the 21st century, trust is necessary to maintain peace, solidarity, trade, and other scientific, economic, and social institutions. Unfortunately, in many areas—politics, media, science, or academia—distrust is increasing in a polarized world divided into bubbles of values and information.

We understand that regaining trust is an enabler for the global agenda’s implementation and is very related to the success of the commons agenda and the governance architecture to be implemented. Trust, based on greater transparency and co-creation of institutions, is an opportunity to strengthen a more sustainable and fairer economy.
