Ideas and voices beyond The Humanity Movement that encourage cooperation across differences and borders.
Alexander Stubb encourages global cooperation.
Video description
The President of Finland, Alexander Stubb, stresses the need for global cooperation for the good of all humanity. This viewpoint is closely aligned with what the Humanity Movement is trying to create awareness of: the challenges facing humanity increasingly cross borders, cultures and differences, and meeting them requires us to become better at working together.
The Humanity Movement believes we don't have to think alike to stand together. We can have different beliefs, values, cultures and national interests while still recognizing our shared humanity and our responsibility for the future we create together.
This lecture offers valuable insight into the forces shaping today's increasingly complex and divided world—and why cooperation has become more important than ever.
A must-watch for everyone who Stands With Humanity.
For too long, global institutions and initiatives tasked with saving lives and advancing human well-being have struggled to keep pace with the challenges of a rapidly changing world. From humanitarian assistance and food security to global health, many of the systems created in the 20th century are being asked to respond to increasingly complex threats in the 21st century. The world’s most vulnerable people deserve better.
Today, at a moment of profound geopolitical and technological disruption, there is an opportunity to rethink how individuals, institutions and nations work together. Research shows that people around the world continue to support global cooperation to address shared threats—but they also expect that cooperation to deliver meaningful results.
Build the Shared Future is an effort to respond to that challenge. Launched in September 2025, these initiatives seek to inspire and inform a new approach to global cooperation—one capable of meeting the scale and complexity of the challenges facing humanity today.
The Rockefeller Foundation is working with innovative thinkers and leaders around the world to challenge established approaches, advance creative solutions and harness new technologies to confront common threats. The ambition is to help build a future that is healthier, better nourished, more prosperous, stable and secure.
The message of this video closely connects with the purpose of The Humanity Movement.
The Humanity Movement believes that many of humanity’s greatest challenges increasingly cross borders, cultures, beliefs and national interests. Addressing them requires more than new technologies, institutions or policies. It also requires people and societies to become better at understanding one another and cooperating across their differences.
The challenges may be global, but cooperation is ultimately a human capacity. We need to strengthen that capacity if we are to build the shared future described in this video.
