#TripleNexus means integrating #sustainability, #peace, and #humanitarian action.   Sustainable development projects often do not advance in an environment full of #conflicts. Sometimes they may even give rise to new conflicts. Conflicts generate new humanitarian and environmental crises or exacerbate existing ones.

The media pummels us with a lot of "bad news", and it is made to seem like "Doomsday" is on its way.

Saying that I am scared or unsure of the future of our planet is a normal feeling, and many of my conversations with younger generations feel the same way. It comes down to values, principles and leading with a multi-generational mindset. Being vulnerable to say "I don't know, I need help" - is a highly underrated superpower. We're not the first to launch a start-up, tackle global challenges, or raise money. Today, I ask you to lean into your vulnerability, inspiration and humility. If you wonder how to participate or take action - Baotree shares a mission and vision for the world. Check us out and join our world of heart-driven action for the future of our planet and for humanity to remain intact.
