SDF

COVID-19 has upended norms and ways of life once taken for granted, leaving in its wake a growing sense of vague unease that has individuals, companies, and nations scrambling to seek new strategies for survival. The collective message of the SDF2020 Research Team is that our society needs a “new social contract” that will endure through and beyond the current uncertainties. What kind of social safety net and what kinds of policies and systems will be necessary in the post-COVID era given the needs of civil society as well as our changing times? For the last six months, the SDF2020 Research Team have engaged in research and analysis on ways we as a society can move forward through today’s unfamiliar terrain. In this session, they share their insights on the new conditions for survival as we seek to create a more sustainable world.
