<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US">During the first two years of the decade the political world has perceptibly changed. Covid changed it, so did the war in Ukraine, continued fear of conflict from Chinese regional expansion,
greater recognition of the coming impacts of climate change, the crisis of democracy in the U.S. and Europe, so did the ascent of pariah states, with Russia at their fore. These are some of the most obvious examples of what is now the unfolding of the new
world (dis)order that prompts this event. It can’t just be talk. It has spark projects. It can’t just be an outpouring of idealism. It has to deliver pathways to re-directive action.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
