The Next UN: Visions for a Regenerative Future

As the UN turns 80 and the campaign for the next Secretary-General gets underway, the world faces protracted conflicts, widening inequalities, and breached planetary boundaries. Against this backdrop, the podcast asks a pressing question: How can the UN become a platform through which people, institutions, and the more-than-human world repair and transform broken systems, and create conditions where life can thrive? Each episode invites regenerative practitioners — policy shapers, Indigenous knowledge-holders, peacebuilders, culture-makers, and frontline humanitarians

  Warm Data & the UN: Stop Writing Reports, Start Tending Relationships — with Nora Bateson

  Oct 20, 202535 minS1

  <p>Nora Bateson invites the UN to <b>let life through</b>: to work with information that is as <b>alive</b> as the systems we serve. Instead of preloading projects with KPIs, she proposes <b>placing the SDGs at the end</b>—tend the relationships that nourish relationships, then see what goals were actually met. In disaster and conflict, skip the town-hall shopping list; <b>make space for people to be together</b> (childcare, food, time) and allow new patterns to emerge.
