Creating global-local context

Description

Creating global-local context involves actively linking global perspectives with local realities to ensure that solutions are both universally informed and locally relevant. This strategy enables the adaptation of international knowledge, resources, and best practices to address specific community needs, fostering mutual understanding and effective problem-solving. By integrating global insights with local expertise, it remedies disconnects between policy and practice, enhances stakeholder engagement, and supports sustainable, context-sensitive development initiatives.

Claim

For some people, the fact that the world is becoming a neighbourhood is a reason for hope; for others, a cause for concern. For all, it provides an impetus for common action. The more people become aware of the growing interdependence of human society, the more readily will they overcome destructive notions of 'otherness' and 'separateness' and find ways to work together. There are no shelters to insulate anyone from disease, poverty, nuclear holocaust or environmental collapse. Such problems are not so many separate crises as elements of a global neighbourhood crisis. All destinies are intertwined. Our response must have a unifying dimension.
