Compass+ Outcomes
The forum aimed to examine new challenges faced by the world and the ODA countries of Central Eurasia in particular, to seek policy solutions to this unjust, fragile and geo-politically unstable world of today. It explored connections of resilience as self-governance, central to the survival and transformation of local communities/societies, with the resilience as diversity-governance of Global International Society (GIS), to understand how it works especially in times of crises (war), and increasing complexity. The ultimate goal is to see if a more sustainable and ontologically secure world of tomorrow is possible for the region, and if yes, what kind of governance is needed to get there (Korosteleva & Flockhart 2020; Korosteleva & Petrova 2021; Flockhart & Paikin 2022).
Today we are facing a complex combination of crises which contribute and reinforce each other. Indicators of insecurity are rising, while indicators of environmental integrity are sinking. A complexity-thinking planetary approach to sustainable development through the lens of resilience, presents promising avenues for seeking solutions to future development. The forum brought together different views and practices, to conjointly (re-)discover ways to more sustainable and resilient communities of relations on local, regional and global levels.
Please see website for more details on the book launch, policy recommendations, capture of the discussions and infographics to support the outcomes of the Forum.

Discover how you can take action and work towards a sustainable future
It’s widely understood that we are in a state of climate emergency, with human intervention largely responsible.
On this five-week course, you’ll be introduced to key concepts in climate literacy, covering carbon footprints, carbon neutrality, greenhouse gas emissions, and how they contribute to the current climate emergency.
You’ll examine local and international commitments and develop strategies to take proactive climate action. You’ll learn to communicate climate change issues to various audiences, raise awareness, and reduce individual and collective carbon footprints.
