  • Actively promote the creation of networks, collaborations and initiatives aimed at developing governance solutions and moving the conversation forward.
  • Advocate for improved governance of global risks through reform processes, seeking to ensure that effective measures are put in place to mitigate these risks and safeguard the future of our planet.
