pose a set of challenges as well as opportunities. They can
require deep transformations and joint action at all levels
and between sectors.
CWF2019: CHANGE THE INEVITABLE
To make the required transformations and create the world
we want, it is essential to join the forces of diverse actors
and sectors and take collaborative action, leaving no one
behind. Creativity, imagineering, innovation can help to do
just that: together we can Change the Inevitable.

other solutions and approaches. To be the change.
