Global thought leaders, experts and specialists stressed on the importance of promoting global cooperation between governments for the good of humanity and to overcome future challenges, on the sidelines of the Great Narrative Meeting.
Sadhguru, founder of Isha Foundation, said: “The greatest challenge, I would say, is ecological. In this ecological narrative, the most important and most dreadful challenge that we have is soil extinction. Every responsible scientist is telling us that we have soil enough only for another 80,200 crops. This means 45 to 60 years.”
Michio Kaku, theoretical physicist and futurist at City College of New York, said that the greatest challenge was survival, “because for all the technology that we have we realise it could boomerang on us. The first challenge is global warming. The earth is heating up and we think a lot of it is due to human activity.”

Landry Signé, senior gellow, Global Economy and Development Programme and Africa Growth Initiative, said agile governance is the solution if we want to create a better future. “The main challenge is how to involve numerous actors and various stakeholders in developing any sector, whether in public, private, or among citizens.
