Impact Forum (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)
If we continue to solve problems in silos, we’ll continue to reproduce them at scale. Are we bold enough to redesign systems—not just strategies—for life to flourish?
In a world shaken by polycrisis—climate collapse, social fragmentation, rising inequality—it is increasingly clear that no single institution, sector, or actor can deliver the change we need. This opening plenary convenes a rare coalition of global leaders from the UN, WEF, education, business, philanthropy, and climate innovation to ask a bold question: How do we move from fragmented efforts to systemic transformation?
Tue 16 Sep 2025, 12:00 pm - 12:30 pm (GMT+8:00)
Impact Forum (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)
As societies grapple with complex social, environmental, and economic challenges, there is growing interest in models that centre holistic well-being. This session presents a pioneering case study from the Well-being and EESG Alliance (WEGA), exploring how China and Singapore—two nations with distinct histories, cultures, and governance systems—are forging innovative pathways to align national development with both human and planetary flourishing.

Impact Forum (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)
If the world is in crisis because of how we’ve been taught to live, can education become our most powerful act of healing?
In a world marked by ecological collapse, social fragmentation, and spiritual depletion, the question is no longer just what we must change—but how we change ourselves to change the world. Education, therefore, cannot remain a siloed institution focused on academic achievement or employability alone.

Impact Forum (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)
What must we unlearn to become truly regenerative? And what new form of leadership will it take to restore both the Earth and ourselves?
As our planet reels from rising temperatures, degraded ecosystems, and resource exploitation, it becomes clear that these crises are not just environmental—they are deeply human.

Impact Forum (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)
Global Citizen believes the success of young people is the success of everyone. But classrooms cannot deliver if students are hungry, offline, or unwell. Ending extreme poverty means removing barriers to learning such as nutrition, healthcare, connectivity, reliable energy, safety, and equitable opportunity. Education is not a line item; it is a growth strategy that […]

What will it take to rewire global finance for well-being, equity, and planetary stewardship?
Wed 17 Sep 2025, 9:30 am - 10:30 am (GMT+8:00)
Impact Forum (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)
If finance is the bloodstream of society, why does it still flow in silos? Are we bold enough to architect a capital system that nourishes the entire body of the well-being economy?
In the well-being economy, finance is the first system we must rewire. Today’s fragmented capital flows—philanthropy, public grants, venture funding, and institutional investment—are ill-equipped to scale the integrated solutions our world demands.
