To meet today’s climate and nature challenges, we need radical collaboration at speed and scale. This requires organizations ready to partner across sectors and silos, capable of executing transformative partnerships and willing to invest in becoming strong collaborators.

This report aims to help organizations think more strategically about working with diverse stakeholders. Drawing on dozens of interviews and case studies of winners and finalists in the inaugural World Economic Forum Giving to Amplify Earth Action (GAEA) Awards, the report offers practical insights and tested approaches to building strong collaborations that deliver tangible results.

The white paper highlights key insights on fostering effective multi-stakeholder partnerships, including: starting small and building on existing communities and relationships, cultivating trust through transparent and inclusive governance, and designing with scale in mind from the outset to enable broader systems change.
