Crises over the last year have highlighted how systems need to be redesigned and rebuilt due to acute failures of today and long-standing failures that have plagued generations. Leaders must reimagine how systems can lift up and protect more people so we no longer delay justice. To provoke our thinking and imagination, this session will bring dynamic speakers for spark talks around climate change, racial equity, economic inequality and gender parity. After the plenary, Fellows will come together to reflect on our values, how we might reimagine and rebuild the systems meant to advance human dignity and progress, and explore the intersectionality of these issues and others as we pursue a more just society for all. This plenary is hosted in partnership with Paul Hastings and the Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth.
