In a recent interview with CMG, Dilma Rousseff, president of the New Development Bank (NDB), said that multilateral cooperation can build a brand-new world. "I hope we can build a new world, one founded on a multilateral order and greater cooperation, while also respecting different civilizations and governance systems," Rousseff shared.
As digital platforms bring young global citizens closer than ever, the call for unity resonates across G20 nations. For entrepreneurs and tech enthusiasts, multilateral partnerships mean access to emerging markets and shared innovation. Think smart cities powered by renewable energy, cross-border digital infrastructures that connect startups from SĂŁo Paulo to Seoul, and collaborative research hubs tackling climate change.
Breaking Down Barriers Through Cooperation
Under Rousseff’s leadership, the NDB has placed sustainable development at its core, financing projects ranging from solar power farms to regional transport networks in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. By pooling resources and expertise, member nations can:
- Boost job creation in green industries;
- Accelerate digital transformation;
- Strengthen resilience to economic shocks.
Why This Matters to Young Changemakers
For thought leaders and activists, a multilateral order offers a platform to influence global policies on human rights and environmental justice. The NDB’s collaborative model provides a blueprint for how diverse governance systems can align around shared goals—without sacrificing local identities.
From Sports to Sustainable Travel
Even sports and entertainment fans benefit when arenas are built with eco-friendly materials and events are powered by renewable energy. Travelers and digital nomads gain richer experiences through infrastructure that connects remote regions, opening doors to cultural immersion and sustainable tourism.
Rousseff’s vision is more than a policy statement—it’s an invitation to a new era where cooperation fuels progress across borders and cultures. As the NDB continues to evolve, its success will depend on the commitment of nations and citizens alike to embrace multilateralism as the pathway to a shared future.
