A paradigm shift in our beliefs\, mental models and the timescales g uiding organisations and policy institutions will be absolutely essential. Current leadership and decision-making structures need to adapt to the ne w realities facing us and not hinder progress. The global youth movement for climate action has demonstrated this generation’s immense mobilisin g potential for change. We’ll find out how increasing  intergeneration al  leadership  and decision-making models can promote mutual learning and shore up strong commitment to long-term transformation. \n\nThis sess ion is hosted by The Club of Rome and the St Gallen Symposium in partnersh ip with InTent.\n\nModerated by: Nolita Mvunelo\, Programme Manager\, The Club of Rome and Felix  Rüdiger\, Head of Content and Research\, St. Ga llen Symposium\n\nSpeakers include: Aya Chebbi\, Founder\, Nalafem\; Forme r African Union Special Envoy on Youth\, Christopher Davis\, International Sustainability\, Activism and Communications Director\, The Body Shop\, U K and Felipe Paullier\, UN Assistant Secretary-General for Youth Affairs a nd Till Fust\, Co-Director\, Solarify\; Member of the Board of Directors\, Tornos.\nWORKSHOP / EXPLORING UNCHARTED TERRITORIES: REGENERATIVE RESEARC H AND INNOVATION\nTuesday 16 January\, 16:00-18:00 CET\nHotel Derby\, Larc hensaal\,139 Promenade 7260 Davos Dorf Switzerland\nRegister to attend in- person.\n\nMany people assume that self-inflicted existential challenges s uch as climate change will be tackled by more research and innovation simi lar to what we have been developing in past decades. Yet\, we have to ques tion whether current R&\;I processes are effectively serving humanity a nd the ecosystems on which we depend\, or rather contributing to a runaway course that will lead to more extractivism\, exploitation of resources of all kinds\, and increasing dehumanisation and disconnection.\n\nSo how ca n we catalyse the conditions for our economic processes to engage in a pat hway towards regeneration by default? Ensuring science is at the service o f equitable wellbeing on a healthy planet is one key way. This requires mo bilising natural and social sciences\, the humanities\, artistic practices \, modern science and ancient wisdom still alive in indigenous cultures. T he endeavour is not less than a shift in the way that research and innovat ion interact with society today\, across disciplines\, cultures and genera tions.\n\nThis session is hosted by The Club of Rome and the Weidenfeld-Ho ffmann Trust.\n\nModerated by Carlos Alvarez Pereira\, The Club of Rome Se cretary General\n\nWith Azadeh Farajpour Javazmi\, Founder\, Better Soil f or a Better World\, Lydia Maher\, Co-Founder\, Critical Loop\, UK\, Peter Messerli\, Director\, Wyss Academy for Nature\, University of Bern\, Switz erland\, Mamphela Ramphele\, Honorary President\, The Club of Rome and Pau l Shrivastava\, Co-president of The Club of Rome and Professor of Manageme nt &\; Organizations\, The Pennsylvania State University\, US.\nA debat e by The New York Times:This House Believes That Global Cooperation is Dea d.\nWednesday 17 January\, 16:00-18:00 CET\nHotel Morosani Schweizerhof - Damoro Restaurant\, Promenade 50\, Davos.\n\nSome would argue that against a backdrop of regional wars\, an increasingly isolated Russia and asserti ve China\, and India’s soaring economic power\, negotiating new conditio ns for global collaboration is the only thing we can do. At its best\, and as history has proven\, good diplomacy and strategic alliances can secure the future\, even where there are deep ideological rifts. Are we living a table-turning moment: the rise of new superpowers and a truly multipolar world order? Or is there hope for global cooperation in the name of crise s that will affect us all? Sandrine Dixson-Declève\, Co-President at The Club of Rome will speak at this debate\,  moderated by David Gelles\, Rep orter\, The New York Times and Stephen Dunbar-Johnson\, President Internat ional\, The New York Times\, with remarks from Meredith Kopit Levien\, CEO \, The New York Times.
