Sigtuna, Sweden: A global delegation of experts and sustainability advocates recently gathered at the Sigtuna Foundation to bridge the critical gap between humanities-based insights and international public policy. From 12 to 14 May 2026, the UNESCO-MOST BRIDGES Coalition convened a series of intensive consultative workshops aimed at refining how human-centred knowledge can drive global action.
In an era of rapid change, growing inequalities, and complex global challenges, collaboration between science, policy, and society, rooted in a deep understanding of the plurality of human experiences, is becoming increasingly crucial. In this context, UNESCO-MOST BRIDGES serves as a dedicated coalition committed to revolutionising how knowledge is mobilised for inclusive social development and planetary wellbeing. For organisations committed to equity, innovation, and impact, joining the BRIDGES Coalition is a meaningful move.
Unfolding today: This week, a dedicated global delegation of BRIDGES colleagues is gathering in Sigtuna, Sweden, for a series of transformative consultative workshops. This assembly, including members from our global BRIDGES Hubs, Governing Council, and wider coalition, brings together a powerful synthesis of strategic partners, such as social innovators, academics, and policy advisors. Working alongside systems thinkers, ethics experts, global thought leaders, and cultural advocates, these international facilitators are engaging in high-level dialogue to advance the coalition’s mission of community-anchored sustainability science.
UNESCO-MOST BRIDGES is pleased to share the UNESCO AI for Environment and Ecosystems Toolkit for Policymakers that was launched in the last week of April, 2026, by UNESCO.
The UNESCO-MOST BRIDGES Coalition is proud to announce the formal recognition of ‘UFMS Rock Trail: Innovations and social technologies in the Bioeconomy’ as an outstanding initiative in humanities-anchored, transdisciplinary sustainability science.
