In a world marked by rapid change and overlapping crises, the responsibility for shaping the future cannot rest solely on the next generation, nor should the past be the burden of those who came before. What’s needed now is a new kind of leadership—shared, intergenerational, and regenerative. This session challenges traditional ideas of leadership succession and legacy.

With declining trust in media, rising misinformation, and audiences turning away from complex narratives, the question arises: how can storytelling remain a catalyst for societal transformation?

The Fifth Element: Learning, Life & the Future — Catalysing Regenerative Systems

Event calendar icon 18 Sep 2025, 09:00:00 - 10:30:00 (GMT+8:00)
Mapmarker icon Impact Lab 3 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)

In a world fragmented by narrow perspectives and one-dimensional growth, our collective crises—from climate breakdown to rising inequality—have deepened. The Fifth Element, an initiative by the Club of Rome, urges us to rethink learning not as mere instruction but as a living, relational practice grounded in life’s complexity. In a truly regenerative economy, learning is central—not secondary—to driving change, becoming the medium through which transformation occurs.

Mapmarker icon Impact Lab 2 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)

As trust in institutions declines and decisions are increasingly driven by metrics over meaning, this session offers a bold and timely proposition: what if we measured institutions not just by Return on Investment, but by Return on Values (ROV)? Anchored by a keynote and followed by a dynamic panel, the session explores how values such as integrity, equity, compassion, and stewardship can be placed at the core of performance indicators across higher education, business, philanthropy, and the public sector.

Universities have a unique opportunity to serve as catalysts for inclusive urban transformation—harnessing research, innovation, and convening power to address society’s most urgent challenges. This session explores how higher education institutions can evolve into anchor organisations for urban resilience, moving beyond academic outputs towards real-world impact. Drawing on Sunway University’s community transformation work in underserved neighbourhoods, the session will highlight how universities can co-create solutions alongside local communities, governments, and businesses.

How can communities show solidarity without letting compassion become entitlement? More than a welfare scheme, Project 4650 is a model for collaborative governance. Spearheaded by then MP Dr Maliki Osman, the project brings together government agencies, businesses, and community groups to co-create an ecosystem of transitional, empowering, and dignity-based support.

Impact Measurement Reclaimed: From Compliance to Agency, Technology, and System Change

Event calendar icon 18 Sep 2025, 11:00:00 - 12:30:00 (GMT+8:00)
Mapmarker icon Impact Lab 4 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)

In a world dominated by dashboards and compliance, impact measurement risks becoming a hollow exercise—focused on accountability rather than transformation. While environmental metrics have advanced, social and human indicators remain fragmented and disempowering, often serving funders more than communities. Measurement tends to overlook what truly drives change: relationships, trust, and collaborative systems. This session challenges the idea that more data equals more progress.

From Isolation to Integration: Funding the Infrastructure of Systems Change

Event calendar icon 17 Sep 2025, 14:30:00 - 17:30:00 (GMT+8:00)
Mapmarker icon Impact Lab 4 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)

In a world facing deepening social, ecological, and economic disruption, transformation is no longer a choice—it is a necessity. Yet while impact capital continues to grow, the kind of capital needed to drive systems-level change remains scarce. Too often, brilliant ideas fail to scale because the infrastructure that enables lasting collaboration and integration—the “connective tissue” of change—is underfunded and overlooked. This session, co-hosted with Catalyst Now and anchored by the 99 for Humanity initiative, explores how we can reimagine capital as a force for coherence rather than fragmentation.

Cities are not just where crises converge—they are where solutions must be born. Are we bold enough to redesign urban systems for the well-being of both people and planet? Cities stand on the frontline of our era’s most urgent challenges—from escalating climate shocks to deepening health inequities and social fragmentation. Yet cities are also uniquely positioned to lead transformation. This panel hosted by Resilient Cities Network (R-Cities) explores how urban resilience is being redefined across Asia-Pacific.
