Not a list. A system
Pursued in silos, each agenda stalls. Pursued together, they compound.
We come from civil society, business, government, academia, and religious and spiritual organisations, and have stepped beyond our official roles to stand together at a defining moment: acute crisis, shifting foundations, and opportunity.
We share a conviction that the political, economic and social systems of today need to be rebuilt, so they can give the children of the world a more stable, more prosperous and more harmonious future. One in which human flourishing, connected with our planet, is the measure of success.
The 7-Agenda is our map, our commitment and our pathway. Each of its seven dimensions names a fracture in the systems of today and a direction for the systems we need to build.
The 7 foundations
Each one names a fracture and a direction. Open any of them for what is happening and why it matters.
01 A thriving planet for present and future generationsNatural systems are restored and protected, supporting life on Earth through climate resilience, biodiversity and sustainable resource stewardship within planetary boundaries.
What is happening
Climate change and severe biodiversity loss are no longer abstract risks. 2025 ranked among the three warmest years on record, and for the first time a three year period, 2023 to 2025, exceeded the 1.5°C threshold of the Paris Agreement. Major Earth systems are being pushed toward tipping points in coral reefs, the Amazon and Congo rainforests and key ocean currents, where ecological collapse risks becoming self reinforcing.
Why it matters
Natural carbon sinks are weakening, which accelerates the extreme weather that follows. More than 20 million people were displaced by weather related disasters in 2023 alone, and the World Bank projects that unmitigated climate change could force up to 216 million people to migrate within their own countries by 2050.
02 A world at peace within and between societiesConflicts are prevented and resolved through dialogue, justice and cooperation, enabling people and nations to live in safety, dignity and mutual respect, online and offline.
What is happening
Violent conflict is at its highest level since 1945. According to ACLED, global violence has doubled in five years. Fifty countries now experience high or extreme levels of conflict. The Global Peace Index reports that the world has become less peaceful in 12 of the past 16 years. These conflicts are increasingly internationalised, harder to resolve and devastating in their humanitarian consequences.
Why it matters
In 2024 the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees recorded 123 million people forcibly displaced, the highest figure on record and more than double a decade earlier. Save the Children reports 540 million children growing up in areas affected by armed violence, the highest figure ever for the third consecutive year.
03 A fair and resilient economyEconomic and financial systems distribute wealth and opportunity more equitably, respect planetary boundaries and serve the common good.
What is happening
Economic and financial systems are failing millions and approaching a structural crisis. They privilege capital over labour and increasingly concentrate wealth and power, against a backdrop of accelerating ecological breakdown. Trade rules are being weaponised and the multilateral institutions created to mitigate power and set shared standards are stalling.
Why it matters
When economic systems consistently transfer wealth upward, operate beyond planetary boundaries and externalise the societal costs of production, the social contract frays. A resilient economy depends not only on income, growth or output, but on whether relationships across society are fair, trusted and give people real agency.
04 Trusted, inclusive and accountable institutionsGovernance systems make fair decisions for the common good, ensure they are implemented, and provide effective ways to prevent and resolve disputes in public and digital systems.
What is happening
Inclusive, legitimate institutions and the rule of law are in accelerating decline. The 2026 V-Dem Democracy Report concludes that for the second consecutive year autocracies outnumber democracies. The 2025 World Justice Project Rule of Law Index finds the rule of law has declined for the eighth consecutive year. Judicial independence is being eroded by executive overreach, and more than five billion people lack meaningful access to justice for everyday disputes.
Why it matters
Democratic backsliding removes the mechanisms through which citizens hold rulers accountable and seek redress. Journalists, civil society organisations, opposition parties and citizens who simply want to participate lose the space to operate.
05 Human dignity as a living reality for allEvery person enjoys equal worth, freedom and opportunity, supported by systems that ensure safety, livelihood, care and belonging, especially for those most exposed to exclusion or violence.
What is happening
The principle that every human being is entitled, simply by virtue of birth, to be treated with dignity is central to all major faith traditions and enshrined in treaties signed by almost every state. Christianity holds that every person bears the image of God. Islam affirms that God has honoured every child of Adam. Buddhism centres the intrinsic worth of every sentient being. Hinduism recognises the divine presence within each person. Indigenous traditions hold that dignity is inseparable from belonging, from land and from community. These traditions converge on one thing: every person carries a worth that no state, market or ruler can confer or remove.
Why it matters
When people are genuinely seen, heard, protected and included, societies become more peaceful, more cohesive and more resilient. When dignity is violated, when people face humiliation, exclusion, fear and invisibility, the opposite happens and untold suffering follows.
06 Facts and trust as cornerstones of public lifePeople have access to trusted knowledge and open debate, supported by free news media and technologies that foster transparency, accountability and civic dialogue.
What is happening
Misinformation and disinformation are spreading at unprecedented scale, independent media is under growing financial and political pressure, and the information environment on which democratic life depends is fracturing. The latest World Press Freedom Index finds press freedom in a very serious situation in more than half the world, and the 2026 V-Dem report identifies freedom of expression as one of the hardest hit dimensions of democratic decline.
Why it matters
Democratic societies depend on a shared foundation of verifiable facts, accountable institutions and informed citizens. When that foundation erodes, the conditions for effective, inclusive governance collapse.
07 Shared human stories that inspire and connectThere is space for renewed cultural and spiritual narratives that foster meaning, connection and collective purpose, without collapsing difference into a single story.
What is happening
Humans are meaning making beings. We need stories that connect us to one another, to nature and to future generations, that tell us who we are, what we owe each other and why it matters. The stories humans inhabit together determine what they are capable of doing together. Today that infrastructure is fracturing.
Why it matters
Shared stories are the medium through which collective life becomes possible. They are the substrate of solidarity, trust and long term orientation that every other item on the 7-Agenda depends upon. When that substrate thins, the consequences are not merely aesthetic or spiritual. Loneliness is a key contributor to radicalisation: the absence of meaning and belonging opens people to narratives that offer community through exclusion.
7 foundations, one shape
Nature initiatives run into conflict dynamics. Economic reform runs into institutional trust. Every one of the seven depends on progress in the others, and in a world of limited time and attention almost nobody is resourced to work across them.
They interact
Conflict drives emissions and collapses environmental governance. Inequality is the most interconnected of all global risks. Nothing on this list sits still while the others move.
They compound
Progress in one creates conditions for progress in another. So does failure. The risks do not add up, they multiply.
Nobody owns the whole
Serious organisations work on parts of this. Very few have the capacity, the funding or the trusted spaces to work across it.
A small team, a growing network
ReAlliance was started by four people from business, civil society, governance and engagement, connected to many parts of the world, who kept arriving at the same uneasy feeling: the way we respond to connected challenges is not working well enough.

We are looking for funding partners, knowledge partners, infrastructure partners, network partners, critical friends and first-mover organisations. Critical voices are as welcome as supportive ones.
