Commons Meetings 04 04 URGENT UN TOP CALLS FOR GLOBAL CEASEFIRE

Dear Friends, Colleagues and Team Mates,

URGENT CALL BY UN SECRETARY GENERAL FOR A GLOBAL CEASEFIRE .PLEASE CLICK AND PASS ON THE LINK.

I hope all of you are doing as well as possible, as each of us is constantly adjusting to rapidly changing situations. I feel so very grateful to each member of our teams as each one of you pulls more than your weight to make our projects as relevant as possible to those we shall be sending them to in preparation for the HLPF. How far away that seems right now with our world increasingly in lockdown.

Both our Nature Communications and Strategy meetings will be held on April 4^th . They will both focus on our present personal and collective situations, as a way of making our work relevant to future scenarios. It is clear that Corona, the smallest spark of life, is pinning humanity down and forcing us to reflect. Let us make the most of the positive sides of our present situations,. 

Annette Hadaway summed up our last two months of work in the following phrase: Embracing the Whole in a New Reality . At the end of this email are quotes by Jill Lauri and Maia Kincaide, summing up aptly, what the Commons Cluster is about and possible ways to move forward. 

Here are excellent notes of our March meeting with warm thanks to Helene Berger.

And here is the link to the video recording;
