WHAT IS HUMANITY RISING?
Humanity Rising represents a movement of people and organizations coming together to take counsel on how to leverage the crisis of the coronavirus pandemic into an opportunity for human renewal and increased resilience to future challenges.
The goal of the Summit is to create an international coalition strong enough to transform conversations that matter into actions that make a difference.
Please join us as we come together to chart our course to new specifications, navigate with sustainable coordinates, and embrace new models that take the wellbeing of our planetary ecology and all communities into account.
For the first time in history, the entire world has been forced to confront the same challenge at the same time.
In every country, people are having the same feelings about their wellbeing, the same anxieties about survival, and the same questions about how they are going to rebuild beyond the pandemic. This is true whether you are an individual, a company, an organization or a country.
Everything has been disrupted and everything needs to change.
This crisis is creating an extraordinary opportunity to build a world that is more resilient to future crises and more aligned with human and ecological renewal.
WHY NOW?
HOW WILL HUMANITY RISING UNFOLD?
Starting May 22nd, the Summit will launch an ongoing global dialogue and coalition of activists and organizations which will consider ideas and take action on proposals to create a world that is more socially equitable and ecologically regenerative.
If you can’t join the live conversations, all sessions will be recorded and you can access the complete video library.
The Summit will continue for as long as the pandemic lasts. This is important because world events are changing every day and it is imperative that we interact with events as they unfold. The world will shapeshift many times over the next months. We must be in a position to continue to adapt and evolve as the global situation does.
The essential imperative is that we all come together in dialogue and action to ensure that the world community seizes the opportunity to rebuild beyond the pandemic in more abundant, resilient and sustainable ways, as framed by the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Humanity Rising is powered by Ubiquity.
SPEAKERS
The Summit will be highlighted by daily TED Talks-style presentations, moderated dialogues,
working groups, blogs, ongoing conversations, group discussions and other interactions around
global solutions and how we can work together to implement them in practical and effective ways. Our program is dynamic and our terrific speaker line-up is continuing to expand. New additions to the current roster are being made frequently.

PARTNERS
Humanity Rising is designed to be a global commons for all participating organizations to share what
they are developing for their own networks with a larger global audience. All partners will share what
they are offering as they engage in deep dialogue about the human future. The activities of each
organization will be profiled on a central schedule so that as organizations offer their workshops,
every stakeholder in the network will know about it and be invited to participate. This allows
participants a wide scope of possibilities and activities for involvement in the most important
conversation the world can have at this moment in time.
