As the 3rd Nyéléni Global Forum in Sri Lanka draws to a close, it’s exciting to reflect on the fact that this country - inhabited and loved by its people from coast to coast, and home to some of the world’s most biodiverse, verdant and abundant forests, rivers and wetlands - is also poised to become the birthplace of a new global meta-movement of social movements committed to bringing health and vitality back to the planet’s communities, countries and climate.

We see a gathering tsunami of emerging (and converging) corporate technologies being super-charged by increasingly rapid developments in digital/AI, bioengineering and geoengineering technologies.
