Why the Common Good is Vital for our Common Future in Today’s Interconnected World

We find ourselves in a time when seemingly insoluble problems in several arenas – public health, climate, income inequalities, technology transition, information dissemination, racial injustice – threaten our collective well-being. A key factor in all of them is a diminished sense of the common good across societies worldwide.

This event will provide a chance to exchange with leading experts about what’s happened to the sense of the common good, and what are the constraints and incentives to restoring it in the modern world.
The roundtable discussion follows a day-long brainstorming at Sciences Po and is part of an overall development process for this initiative. A summary report will be distributed to all interested participants.
Speakers:

• Lucy Bernholz, Stanford University
• Toni Johnson, Mission OutLoud
• Shivsharan Someshwar, Sciences Po European Chair for Sustainable Development and Climate Transition
• Florence Verzelen, Dassault Systemes.

Moderated by Frédéric Ramel, Sciences Po.
