17 hours ago

As the UN approaches its 80th anniversary and the campaign for the next Secretary-General gets underway, the world faces protracted conflicts, widening inequalities, and breached planetary boundaries. Against this backdrop, the podcast asks a pressing question: How can the UN become a platform through which people, institutions, and the more-than-human world repair and transform broken systems, and create conditions where life can thrive? Each episode invites regenerative practitioners — policy shapers, Indigenous knowledge-holders, peacebuilders, culture-makers, and frontline humanitarians
