A Series on Progressive Governance
After living in a pandemic for more than a year and experiencing a decade of inequality, planet degradation, and threats to liberal democracies, bold structural reform is needed to leave no person or community behind.

This year’s summit aimed to lay the foundation for the 2020s defined by progress. Listen to our curation of intriguing sessions with guests such as Margrethe Vestager, Robert Habeck, Catherine de Vries, Cas Mudde, Tim Bale, Ania Skrzypek and more!
