Global Recovery Collective

1. In every crisis, there are huge challenges, but there is also an opportunity—a pivotal period for people to reflect, listen, and explore ways of doing things differently or start afresh.

   To make it happen, we’re creating an open, collaborative environment where we equip others with the tools they need to build a brighter future. Our work with the Global Recovery Collective involves doing everything we can to link leading climate, development, health, justice, and equality networks—new experimental partnerships can not only ask new questions, but they can offer new solutions.
