Abstract
In the face of accelerating global changes spurred by climate emergencies, the imperative to foster inclusion, diversity, belonging, equity, and access (GIDBEA) within operational frameworks becomes paramount. This session endeavors to elucidate comprehensive strategies and best practices aimed at the operationalization of diversity, empowering participants to catalyze innovation amidst these dynamic global shifts. Central to this session is the recognition of the indispensable role of diversity within global contexts amid the ever-evolving landscape shaped by climate change. Esteemed leaders in the domain of GIDBEA, Dr. Lisa Coleman, Senior Vice President for Global Inclusion and Strategic Innovation at NYU, and Fatiah Touray, the Executive Director of Inclusion and Equity at NYU Abu Dhabi, will spearhead this discussion. Their profound expertise will furnish attendees with a robust foundational understanding of contextualizing diversity’s pivotal role in propelling global partnerships, fostering strategic innovation, and fortifying GIDBEA principles. Partakers will gain profound insights into agile responses to emergent GIDBEA trends in their professional sphere, enabling them to adeptly navigate and integrate evolving principles of inclusivity and equity. This session, therefore, emerges as an indispensable platform poised to equip professionals and leaders with the requisite tools indispensable for the advancement of diversity and belonging within their respective spheres. Attendees will depart armed with actionable insights and a repository of best practices poised to foster the creation of profoundly inclusive and equitable learning and work environments.
