A ECOSOC Partnership Forum parallel event. Participants engaged with successful real-world initiatives that intentionally place unitive principles at the core of their design and implementation, and have demonstrated how unitive principles support collaborative, equitable, innovative & coordinated actions. These case studies, from diverse fields, demonstrated measurable outcomes achieved through a “unitive principles-first” approach—showing how projects grounded in explicit values generate greater coherence, sustainability, and impact and accelerate transformation. Through dialogue, reflection, and practical examples, participants gained insights into how unitive principles can be activated in their own work—moving beyond fragmented solutions toward integrated, principle-driven responses to global challenges.
