Resilience is Not an Option!

Megatrends: ​The Problems Are Real

1) Poverty & Inequalities
2) Demography
3) Environmental Degradation & Climate Change
4) Shocks & Crises
5) Financing for Development
​6) Technological Innovations
Myths and legends die hard in America. We love them for the extra dimension they provide, the illusion of near-infinite possibility to erase the narrow confines of most men's reality. Weird heroes and mould-breaking champions exist as living proof ​to those who need it that the tyranny of "the rat race" is not yet final.     ~ Hunter S. Thompson

United Nations Global Compact

The UN Global Compact (UNGC) was officially launched in July of 2000. As we approach the 20th anniversary, the challenges we face continue to strengthen, as do the SDG’s as the leading framework for guiding ‘capitalism with a conscience,’ from local to global.
