The global economy is entering a new and more volatile era shaped by geopolitical tensions, the climate crisis, and groundbreaking technological advancements. Despite partisan divisions, a new consensus for action is emerging to enhance growth, innovation, and resilience by unlocking private capital through transformational public sector investments and advancing community-level, bottom-up solutions to pressing challenges.
