In this interview, Dr. Musimbi Kanyoro observes that today's youth possess heightened awareness about climate change and technology, representing a significant shift in global consciousness. She notes that traditional boundaries between Government, business, and civil society have become less distinct, though effective collaboration still requires dedicated investment and understanding—a process facilitated by the Sustainable Development Goals. Dr. Kanyoro emphasizes the value of the UN Global Compact's Ten Principles in making the concept of positive change accessible and comprehensible to diverse audiences. Despite current challenges, she maintains an optimistic outlook, particularly highlighting education as a powerful catalyst for transformation. She champions universal education as essential for cultivating the next generation of leaders who will address global challenges.
