SUMMARY:Unitive Cluster HLPF Side event
DESCRIPTION:The Power of Vision: Advancing integrated and Interconnected Development\nA transformative vision allows development efforts to move beyond short-term solutions toward meaningful\, long-term impact. At its core\, development is about people. Lasting progress depends on human transformation—shifts in consciousness\, values\, attitudes\, and behaviors that support shared well-being. Equally important is integrating the natural world into all development efforts\, ensuring flourishing is an embedded value rather than an afterthought. This approach is grounded in a unitive perspective\, recognizing the indivisibility of economic\, social\, and environmental goals. \nThis interactive hybrid session will explore the power of shared vision\, which ultimately fosters a sense of common destiny\, a strong basis for SDG 17 since it supports collaboration over competition as well as inclusive\, equitable development of cultures that leave no one behind. \nSpeakers:\nAlfredo Sfeir Younis\, Former Director of World Bank\, Environmental Economist \nYoussef Mahmoud\, Former UN Under Secretary General \nAudrey Kitagawa\, Founder\, International Academy for Multicultural Cooperation \nRegister: https://bit.ly/hlpfvision
