The vision and leadership of youth. The courage of refugee women. The power of solidarity. The impact of inclusivity. These were just a few of the ideas people shared when we asked them what gives them hope for humanity during last week’s UN General Debate. Share with us in the comments below: What inspires you in these challenging times?

The 81st United Nations General Assembly is a wrap, and I'm grateful. For one week, I got to participate and use my voice at the UN for the ideas I believe in most: data that governments can actually use, entrepreneurs building sustainable solutions where they live, and health innovation that reaches people at scale. I also got to moderate conversations with some amazing people who are doing the work every day. A few moments that stayed with me: 📊 Data for resilience. At the SDG Media Zone, I shared what the SDG Data Alliance and PVBLIC Foundation have been building. The SIDS Global Data Hub is now a live platform with 11 Country Data Hubs, and it is on track to cover all 39 Small Island Developing States by the end of the year. My takeaway: governments don't need more reports. They need tools that turn information into coordinated action. 💰 Capital that follows country priorities. At the Family Offices for Sustainable Development Summit, I moderated a conversation with Mireia Villar Forner of the UN Development Coordination Office and Lisa Ann Kurbiel of the United Nations Joint SDG Fund. We talked about how the Resident Coordinator system helps family offices and investors put capital where it can be catalytic. The architecture for deploying capital is being built right now, at the country level. 🏥 From pilots to health systems. I opened the Global Health Futures Forum and moderated "Building the New Infrastructure for Global Health" with Stefan Kulik, James Filbey and Sanskriti Thakur. We have plenty of health innovation. What we still need is connective infrastructure that links prevention, health workers, facilities, data and capital. To get there, those pieces have to be designed together from the start, with government ownership and national scale as the goal. 🌱 Entrepreneurs as solution-builders. Through our REIN Hubs platform with CleantechHUB, more than 1,200 entrepreneurs across Latin America and mobilized over US$23M since 2019. The region has everything it needs to be seen as a source of solutions, not just raw materials. Thank you to every panelist who brought honesty and sharp ideas to the stage, to our partners and sponsors, and to the PVBLIC Foundation dream team, who made a remarkable week look effortless. It's a privilege to do this work alongside you! Now comes the part that matters most: turning these conversations into results. #UNGA81 #SDGs #SustainableDevelopment #GlobalHealth #DataForGood #PVBLIC #Action Sergio Fernandez de Cordova y de Veyga Kerry Bannigan Megan McAstocker Greg Scott Ashaki Goodwin Mariaceleste Vargas Valentina Marschik Aris Woodyear - Miggiros Chris Headings Laurence Kalinsky Bárbara González Ovalles Mariana Mellado

Last week, we had the honor of being present at the United Nations Headquarters in New York during the 81st Session of the United Nations General Assembly. Invited by PVBLIC Foundation, our Strategic Partnerships Director Romain de La Rochefordière and Science Director Sébastien Carassou, PhD took part in the Family Offices for Sustainable Development Summit, contributing to conversations on how we can collectively build for the long term. They brought a question that lies at the very heart of Sanctuary: what do we, as humanity, choose to preserve and pass on to those who will come after us? That question is the starting point of our mission. We are creating a lasting testimony to our humanity, preserving a fragment of what we are, what we know and what we make for generations far beyond our own. But our mission is not only about preserving this legacy for a distant future. It is also about what this process can inspire today: curiosity, dialogue, education and a greater awareness of what connects us across cultures, borders and generations. Because thinking about sustainable development also means thinking beyond our own lifetime and considering the legacy we choose to leave behind. The Summit also marked an important first step in a broader collaboration between Sanctuary and PVBLIC Foundation, formalized through the signing of a partnership agreement during the event. We look forward to building on this relationship and exploring together how this shared vision can translate into meaningful action. A warm thank you to PVBLIC Foundation for the invitation and for creating a space for these essential conversations between institutions, innovators, investors and changemakers. And a special thank you to Sergio Fernandez de Cordova y de Veyga, Executive Chairman of PVBLIC Foundation, for his support and for making this collaboration possible. #UNGA #UNGA81 #PVBLICatUNGA
